Almost none more black instruments?

[TTA]

what we have here is a couple of basses that have received varying levels of blackout treatment.

the 4003 got a guard and trc… and imho it is perfect.

The jazz i have posted before. there are a few more items that need black like the jack and the string tree retainer… and maybe strings. but imho the white around the pickguard i steuggle to remove as it adds definition. Same with strings… if i go all black that really only leaves the frets and i dont want all the visual attention going there. might need to try it though…

posted with a black amp that i added white piping to.

i feel the 4003 needs black pickguard screws.

Might as well get some DR black coated strings too.

My "one that got away" bass , a Fender-Japan Limited Edition "All-Black" JB62 that I ordered all the way from Ishibashi…

• Unveiling III: Fender Japan JB62 "All-Black"

…and Projekt Black, the bass I assembled to fill the hole in my heart after having to sell that glorious instrument.
(I dig that Projekt bass, but it just isn't the same! )

• Unveiling VI: "Projekt Black"

Agree; the jack and string tree are all that needs changed on the Jazz. I would also leave the BWB pickguard. You might try some coated black strings, but I think it might be too much.

Not much into the all-black look myself, but I do love the way it looks next to the Orange stack!

 

[Gunga Din]

My (now gone) Squier Jazz Active IV in Stealth Black. Inc the strings.

 

[mapleglo]

My KLŌS bass. And I'll keep wearing all black until they come out with something darker.

Input jacks!

how about a fretless.........?




this is the closest i have to "all black" --- i just couldn't resist the red:

 

[CMGunther]

Fodera Emperor 5 in black over ash with no grain filler. It's a beast. Took over the job from the standard on the left.

 

[KevInDaBassment]

Black nut on the jazz bass too?

IMO it would make the neck feel more balanced color-wise along with the other hardware.

Nothin' wrong with a little splash of red, as far as I'm concerned.

So Anyway, get some Black Tapewounds to continue your journey into total darkness.
And a blacklight for the stage.

 

[Frank Kreber]

I just need to replace the gold hardware!

Black Out basses are just as classic as any old sunburst with tort, every day.

Peavey Dyna Bass Unity LTD, she had very tarnished formerly gold hardware so dressed her up with black hardware and dubbed her "Midnight Lady".
Guyker tuners, Kramer branded Schaller bridge ( it was a fair price, call me frugal), matte black "P" knobbies and DR Black Beauties. Seymour Duncan Vintage P, Jazz Stack V and passive electronics. Dyna bass circuit was boogered so using it for parts.
