The only black bass I ever owned was a Jap Fender J 'Boner'. A local luthier replaced the scratchplate with a mirrored one. Very Steve Harris looking, but it looked the mutts nuts.

As a heavy metal fan, I like black instruments a lot, and my first student bass was indeed black, as is my new fretless and my upright. However, I also love natural and blue.

What a splendid trio. Very nice indeed those. :i-m_so_happy:

Have to say that black very very rarely works for me. I am trying to think of an example of that colour that I would accept, tbh.

My next bass will be a sunburst over a nice grain of ash, tort plate, plus RW board with white binding and MoP blocks.

Oh man. That Precision looks incredible.

My favourite colour for a bass is white for Precision and Jazz, black for everything else really. I also like LPB.

Oh, and I'm a huge fan of maple fretboards.

I have a red p-bass (copy), with a black scratchplate and the colour has really grown on me, though i dont think i'd go for such a bright colour in the future. Next bass I buy has to be Sunburst!

Thanks muchly - that Precision is what turned me onto white basses in the first place :happy: I've actually since bought another white P (white pg, maple 'board)... really should do an updated family shot.

What do you think about "reverse bursts"? Kubicki used to feature them, dark blue or dark color in center, fading toward the edges.

I recently saw a lad using a blue reverse burst Kubicki. First time I have ever seen that finish. Looked pretty cool.
