Title says it all, pics please!

My opinion is the ESP F-155DX:

This is a great thread idea. I don't play "pointies", but having grown up through the 80's, it'll be nice walk down memory lane. Or something.

Since you are doing black, how about my 5-string fretless Valenti? It crushes all that come before it--with its goodness!

Anyone daring to post other basses in a thread like this are tempting fate. I feel a tremor in the force. Be afraid...be very afraid...

On a slightly more serious note, I would probably play something like this if I were to play metal.
