This is my hybrid SR5 pretender, essentially its a OLP body with an SR5 neck thats been defretted, it's got Bartolini pups and pre's and a very tidy anonymous MM bridge...

Had a new scratchplate made and the whole thing tidied up and it's a beast, plays like a charm with a range of very usable tones.

I like what I see added here since I last visited. Without deliberately trying I seem to have acquired a few black ones, but they look so cool I think it may become a trend. Here goes ....

Wish I knew what a B301 sounded like! Jazz looking pup in the middle, I'm expecting a P sound

Hi Folks,

Waded through all nine pages of lovely black basses, and was surprised to not see a Stingray Stealth. Mine's pictured below, and there's none more black. Except for the ebony fretboard version, which doesn't seem to really exist except in my fevered imagination. She did have black coated strings on at one time. but my heavy picking removed the coating from one end, while my sweaty fingers removed it from the other end.

One of my other basses. It started life as a banana yellow colour, but was rebuilt a couple of years ago by the great guys at The Gallery in North London. It's medium scale in length, and has a surprising range of quite distinct sounds. I particularly like it for heavily chorused Peter Hook style stuff, which is a bit of a coincidence as Hooky started playing his Eccleshall semi-acoustic about a year or so after I got this bass.

And finally, a recent acquisition. Short scale, and very enjoyable to play. Probably going to part with it in the near future, since I want to buy a copy of a well known bass that begins with R ...

See? I didn't even know they made a bass Electromatic!
Its great! (imo much more worth than even a copy of a bass beginning with 'R' but I'd do nothing to discourage their purchase.)
