Oh my, B'N'M P/J Sadowsky!

Beautiful, and exactly how I'd want a Sadowsky!

Well, I might have chose a different pickguard, but it's damn' nice on this one!

[emblymouse]

Great timing, I am waiting for the man right now. The FedEx man, that is, bringing me my black 73 P w/ maple A neck.

I'll be back fer a #....

Thanks! I also have a black pickguard so I can switch them out whenever I might feel like a change.

Ok here's my black and maple EBMM stringray 5. It's a little generic but I
still love it. I was thinking a tort pickguard would look nice on it though. I
might have to order one some time soon.

Ahhh! #270 good buddy!

Definatly my fave combo on a Stingray, Dargie and Rose being a pretty distant second.

I'm already a member but thought I'd post up another pic anyway. Just because.

My 08 Black-N-Maple P It's a great player and the action is sick low on this bass. The PG has since been changed out for a Black one. The white was overkill for me.

Before




After IMO looks way better

There are a lot of Stingrays among the B-n-M and you can never have enough IMHO.

There is probably a picture of one with a tort guard in Part 1 or Part 2 of the thread and probably some other combos that you hadn't thought of, but when you see it, you might end up liking as well.

[dangnewt]

As you can tell, I haven't yet taken up photography as a hobby.

But for some reason, this picture posts bigger than my previous attempts so here is a blast from the past, lucky B-n-M #7 - a Peavey USA Millennium in front of the mini rig of doom.

Nice, real nice, and the MM pickup isn't too close to the bridge, .
My Trabens are, have to tame 'em with flats...

Looks great with that pearloid guard. My fretboard is pretty light colored. The pic makes it look darker.

I was considering a black pearloid guard for mine before I went with the black.

PART 3 .


Anyway, I see what you meant by "occasional landscapes with basses in"; now .

Fearsome looking bass though, DS. Is that a tremelo, or just a very high mass bridge ?

I have to agree with you there, 60bass - that is an iconic look for the P Bass .
