It looks great, ebony is my all time favourite board, I specified it when I had my Sandberg made 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Sei bass was the first I had, and I got an Eggle guitar with one, and it feels great under the fingers, especially on guitar. It's one of those subliminal things that makes playing just that bit nicer. The fact it looks cool is just a bonus.

Al Krow Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 The first bass I ever played, an Aria pro II SLB PJ (which actually belonged to my missus) was a lovely black one. I've very recently re-joined the club with the newest addition to my herd. Not come across this brand before, but I'm completely blown away by it: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M@23 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) 66% of mine qualify. The P5 bass is a recent acquisition, and damn, it is good. Edited May 23, 2021 by M@23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knobs: volume, pup blend, 3 band EQ. Two switches: mids f selector and active/ passive. It does sound fantastic - maybe I'm still on honeymoon with it, but I've not really been able to put it down since getting it a couple of weeks back. The kicker which, I know you will appreciate, is that it's just 8.4 lbs. I wouldn't have had the confidence to get one new, but a 2 y/o one at used prices and set up perfectly with upgraded pups and played-in by someone as capable as our own @Sibob was too tempting to resist. Zero regrets in doing so - I'm a convert! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 And to add to the Elrick love, here’s my NJS5 which effectively replaced the bass I sold to @Al Krow, because black: Effectively the same bass, but with ‘Jazz’ aesthetics and the switches on push/pull knobs.

Velarian Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) No, but it’s very close. It’s called the Shaggster. Apparently it’s based on the Shuker JJ Burnell signature model but with a tinted neck, EMG Geezer Butler Pickups and Relic finish.

Baloney Balderdash Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Did a new visual mod to my main Ibanez GSRM20 neck + GSRM20B body Mikro Bass, using red electrical tape, a few weeks back, looks like this now (did the green electrical tape on the 2 knobs after I shot this photo, and couldn't be bothered to do the shooting and editing all over so I edited in the green knobs on this photo to the best of my abilities using PhotoShop) : 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
