The EMG Selects are OK, sound is quite tight and solid but not got a huge range of tones. Bottom end is a little thin. Don't think anyone would mistake it for a proper Q series v2 Steinberger. I like it though, it's very light and plays nicely - I like the neck profile - 38mm at the nut but thicker front to back than your average Jazz. I also have one in cherryburst (not for this thread :D) and put EMG HB pickups and EMG BTC System in it - that one rocks and I guess is as close as you're going to get for the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankhill Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Black basses, eh? Its made me realise that I’ve had a few over the years despite it not being a particularly favourite colour. My current favourite gigging bass is a matt black G&L SB-2 (Tribute) that I swapped over the neck from a Kiloton, as I like maple neck. The others are a Stingray, I didn’t have that for long, it just didn’t float my boat. G&L M2000 custom, lovely looker but I sold it. Yamaha RBXA2 that I modded with carbon fibre vinyl wrap (then sold it). Oh, and a 5-string Sterling Sub that I only bought because I felt I should try a 5 string. Sold it… I also have a Hohner B2A stick bass in black that I take to every gig as a spare and have never used. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr4stringz Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Random observation, and it’s a minor inconvenience to source them of course, but I do wish manufacturers would fit black pickguard screws as standard on any black bass with a black pickguard. Looks so much better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eneade Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Just found this picture on my hard drive, and thought the bass looked good, so here it is ! A really simple color layout but with the right piece of tort, it looks sweet. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloney Balderdash Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) My beloved Ibanez GSRM20 neck + GSRM20B body Mikro Bass, with a just 28.6" scale length, the stock pickups ripped out and instead having just a single EMG Geezer Butler P pickup installed, wired directly to the output jack socket, also the stock side mounted barrel type output jack socket has been removed, and instead a regular front mounted jack socket has been installed in one of the redundant pot holes, other than that various visual mods... Without further ado: ...I represent you "Dud Bottomfeeder" ! : Edit/Update!!!: One of the knobs now features red electrical tape on top of it, instead of green, so here's a bit more recent, though far from as great, shot, reflecting that change: Edited May 8, 2023 by Baloney Balderdash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msb Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Phase 2 UniVox HiFlier , it was made in the Matsumoku plant in Japan around 72/3. A copy of the Mosrite model the Ventures made famous. The original Mosrite has some design oddities so many feel the UniVox copy is actually a better bass. I can’t say , but my Flier is very light , and is a great sounding bass. It’s fun to play. 30 in shortscale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
