Badass black basses!

Here's my FrankenSquier P bass which consists of a neck, bridge with Fender threaded saddles and electronics from a VM P and a black Affinity body I bought from a fellow TB'er, and a Fender white pearl pickguard.
Didn't think I would like a black bass, but this color combo looks cool to me. I think it's the pearl PG that sets it off nicely

I assumed, from the logo on the blanket behind the bass, that you are a Browns fan. They've had a miserable 1st quarter.
The bass is stunning (that pickguard is unique and eye-catching), and I'm sorry I didn't point that out in my earlier post.
Thank you for the compliment on my Art work. Yes I am a life long die-hard Browns fan. It has been hard, (even for me) the past number of yrs....
On the lefty, my trusty P bass. Started as a squire. I filled in the routs as an experiment and rear routed it. Jazz neck with painted on green. It was a Peter Steele Tribute originally. It has a gotoh 201, brass nut and the electronics from a fender Duff bass. The other, 80s Kramer 700st with a squire P neck, Duncan 1/4 ers, 3 way toggle and fender TBX tone. Black tuners on the way and a flat black ashtray for the other one.
I'm about to convert this ESP LTD F-Junior 21" scale guitar into a mini bass.
This USA Geddy Lee takes the place of the previous one I had.

I think my Knuckle Quake 5 fretless is the most badass black bass I own (the BC Rich Warlock is a close 2nd, don't have pics of that though). Thanks, Skip!
39.5" scale. I've tuned it both "normal" BEADG as well as ultra low EADGC (starting at the E below that B, at 20.6 hz, more felt than heard).
