All black bass

Warwick Darklord (w/ a luthier made fretless neck)
... i dont have pics now, but my vampyre SN is also all black and strung with DR Black Beauties.
im not big fans of black basses since i noticed they end up looking 'invisible' onstage when you are wearing black lol

Sounds like a job for some black Rustoleum paint.
I haven't had much luck painting chrome with anything, even after using some good etching primers meant for that purpose.
Of course, I'd rather not go the sandblasting route yet, although that is one alternative.
By the way...VERY cool all black basses posted here.
There is a guy on e-bay that makes pickup rings. I had a bb300 that I put regular pickups in and it left a huge gap. He made me some out of mirrored purple. Very resonable.

lol ... i was thinking of going the more expensive route and buying a non-black bass instead.
im just making excuses for GAS really
It's like, how much more black could this be?
And the answer is none. None more black . . .
My newest bass, delivered on July 23, 2010:
Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 4H Stealth with Ebony Fingerboard (Bass Central's photo).
Wow! I can't tell you just how much I like your new bass, shastaband. All of the beauty of a graphite neck, but with all of the tone of real wood - perfect
!Here's one that I once cobbled together. It didn't have black hardware though, so it doesn't properly qualify for the thread, but it does answer the earlier call for more DR Black Beauty-strung basses

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyup. Except 2011 isn't looking like one of those years. Not that I'm complaining too much, since the US has Ireland, Italy, and freaking Australia in our pool, so I doubt we'll be relevant by the end of round robin play.Ooohh i have one of those.
Every four years it goes dead and plays like rubbish.
As for the thread, I have an all-black Ibanez SR885. Incidentally there's a link to it in my sig and you should all check it out

That sounds more like the ones finished in green and gold, they seem to be playing far worse then the black ones

Here's mine:
One day I'll own an all-black unlined fretless 5-string with ebony fingerboard and black strings. EBMM's Stealth Bongo would be perfect if it only came with a piezo bridge.

I think that looks awesome ... better than if it had black hardware. i might have even gone one step further w/ a chrome pup cover (if such a thing exists for that pup) or a chrome pg. very cool!
These two, a Warwick Corvette $$ and Peavey G V:
And I used to own this Ibanez SR405 which had the funkiest B string of its time:

$160.00 ebay steal. Covered the p'up poles with lectrical tape and restrung with DR Black Beauties.

If you could provide detailed drawings I could machine up a set in aluminium for you. You'd need to find a local anodizing shop (or DIY) to turn them black. But it's very possible.
Thanks. I'll check into it and see what I can come up with. I'll PM you sometime. Very appreciated!
My brother can hook me up with the anodizing.
