Anyone here have pics, or own a black and gold bass. Any model/brand. I'm just trying to get the look down in my head. I love that color combo but know know how it'd look on a bass.

Here's what I was talking about
Althought I REALLY like that bass, i was talking more about maybe black body, gold pickgaurd, gold hardware, etc.
I like that bass though, nice colors.
To me, the original (from the 80's) Yamaha BB5000 is the perfect black & gold bass.

My fretless has a brown tort pickguard, works with the rosewood fretboard... otherwise black and gold
'77 Body, MIJ 62 RI neck (defretted), Wilkinson Bridge, Bart NTMB pups & electronics. 12-1/2 lbs, Sadowsky Flats... yeah, it's a parts bass, but I'll never sell it as long as I can still play it. Put together about 12 years ago.
Here's an MM Sterling:
