Badass black basses!

Yup. I currently have 2, and now I want to sell my black Jaguar body to get the body of this:



...to match my Fender Duff McKagan Bass neck.

 

yup! I like the way yours looks!

My only black one currently.

 

I picked up this fretless Vantage a few weeks ago, made by Matsumoku for Darth Vader...

 

Alright, I will play....

 

partially black - totally badass

 

That looks great JIO, can you tell us the details on it? It's custom made I'm guessing?

 

Thanks! Here's my ever expanding thread that started with my already modded T2K into the Mk II version it now is - enjoy!

Here's mine:

Here's mine. You know it's badass 'cause it's got a skull & cross bones sticker on it.

 

Here's mine, love black cream and gold!

 

Is there enough black on this bass conversion to qualify? I took an Epiphone Les Paul Express 22" scale guitar and switched to black tuners, black nut, black strings, black bridge and black Fender knobs.

 

Woah dude extra short scale

 

I have a couple of black ones too, I'll play.

 

Yes, it is...totally.

 

I'll play

 

And my other black bass:

 

This one is my personal sweetheart. It's the prototype of my Series IV model, s/n 060. I built it in 2006, and it's been my main bluegrass bass since then. Many hundreds of happy hours playing it.



It's black with fine red edging. I got the idea for that scheme from an old Ampeg that was sent to me for repair. It had been repainted black over the original red, and the black had worn through around the edges, leaving this thin red stripe. So, I duplicated that, spraying red, then black, then gently sanding through to the red at the edges before coating it with clear. Subtle from a distance, dramatic up close.
