Black and gold - the John Player Special treatment

There doesn't seem to be a thread for this particular combo, so let's see 'em.  Either black bodies with gold hardware etc, or gold bodies with black hardware etc.

Wait, that's not my bass!

Except I couldn't leave it alone, now it has full gold pickup covers and a brass nut.  Short of replacing the frets with gold ones, and using gold coloured strings, I think I'm done.

Lovely.  These basses were the reason I modded my Epi Les Paul to black n gold - I'd have bought one of these if I didn't already have a G&L Tribute LB-100 taking care of the Precision side of things.  So instead I made my own black and gold bass.

There was a time where I used to despise gold hardware on basses, but now I really love the look on black basses.

 

And if I get the money to spare at some point for some non practical music equipment, I could totally see myself equipping my main black bass with gold hardware. 

 

Still think gold hardware looks tacky on white basses though.

My super clean, owned from new, gigged for ten years Yamaha BBG5S that I sold a couple of years ago as I just don't play fives anymore. 

I loved that bass and it was the only bass I owned in those ten years of gigging.
