Basses with darkwood design

There's the Squier Standard in a Walnut stain. I think they were discontinued but there are always some on Ebay.

some older peavey us basses came in a mahogany (foundation, patriot, etc) and there were also some koa models coming out of us peavey in the 90s, mostly unity series and dyna unity series basses.

i have an ash ibanez blazer p bass copy, in "traditional violin" finish, and it is beautiful, dark cherry inside, but shines brilliantly in daylight

Here's one of my more recent acquisitions. It's a 1985 Peavey Patriot in the optional Mahogany finish. I found it online at a Guitar Center in Syracuse, NY for only $99.95!

It's the dark red one in the middle........

Very true. Ebay often has one or the other every now and then. Not too long ago Guitar Center's used database had a five-string Precision in the same color.

I've wanted one for a couple of years now, so I recently bought the Jazz bass version as a birthday present to myself. Izz verra nizzze! ;) I plan on modding the crap out of it, starting with the electronics. Not that there's anything wrong with it's stock electronics, but I'm feeling…experimental, and I want to use it to explore different configurations. Specifically, I want to see how a Master-Volume/Blend/TBX-Tone-Circuit config works with an SD Quarter Pounder (neck) and a Hot (bridge) pickup go together. Wish me luck!
