Badass black basses!

[funkbass187]

Was that fanned fret system difficult to get use to, or pretty easy? I've been over 27 years on a standard 4 string and haven't really ventured from that, other than picking up a 5 string over 20 years ago. I found it awkward at the time, but I suppose some practice would take care of that.

This is my second dingwall but I think it took me about 5 minutes to adjust to my first one. The fan is laid out to pretty much follow the natural pivot of your arm so they are significantly easier to pick up on than they look

That's good to know.

I've played on one of those basses many moons ago (didn't own it, borrowed it.) It was pretty nice bass. I've always had GAS over a Guild B302 bass, especially black finish.

It's nice, I like it.
This one is an SB-603, most Pilot models came with a P&J pickup.
They only made about 50 of the SB-603, it was designed with only the P pickup.
The maple fretboard is also rare in the 600 series.
The neck plays as good or better than the USA Peavey necks, which I think feel great.

I love blackass back basses. I have two painted solid gloss black, which is great. But I want my next one to be black stained wood with some kind of nice grain that really pops, and an ebony fretboard for extra black and because I love ebony fretboards. Or should it be a fingerboard? Fretless, lineless ebony. Black everything. Except the strings. And double P pickups, black.

Love your black with tort guard.

I would like to strip my red Peavey Foundation and stain the body dark gray, it has a maple fretboard.
I like black bodies with maple neck/board.

I call this one "the business".

Not sure if I posted this one here or not. Started with a $40 Craigslist Squier. Did the routing freehand (dumb) but it didn't turn out too bad. Hack jobs on Fenders just add to the mojo anyway.
