We just finished our newest Slab bass and this time it's a 70s style with a Darkstar pickup in the neck. The basses weight is nice at 9 pounds 3.5 oz and it sounds like a grand piano.

That has got to be the blackest butterscotch blonde body I've ever seen :hiding:

Other than that it looks great, I love the relicing on it.

This bass sounds great and we were using it to record some tracks showing our newest guitar pickup and we were so happy with how it recorded that we remixed a couple (played through a silverface Bassman) to show off the bass. So here ya go.

Time to make things hard on anyone who likes Darkstars. $1500 delivered and I'll even throw in a free RS Tee shirt. I just used this bass again Friday to do a bass line for another sound clip for one of our pickups and it just records great. It's fat but still has a great growl.
