JimB52, I always liked the white one. I was close to buying the Anni the year it came out. Nice basses all around!

Veeeerrry nice, I've always loved either the pickups with no magnets showing at all or the G&L style pickups

 

[facepalmmaster]

I am going to have to disagree. I have a much cooler headstock...mine is painted to match the body, and that ugly fender logo is nowhere to be seen

The headstock is cool, but that pickguard is awesome!

My Lull M5 has been my main player for a while now and is the best jazz bass I have ever played.

Very cool, seen a couple like it, though i usually like the ones with pickguards, not sure why

Thanks.
I found a guy (online) who was making custom aluminum pickguards. I contacted him with my own idea, and He indicated that he could do it. The maker was/is in Germany, so between having the pickguard made, and shipping It was over $100, and I had to wait almost 4 weeks. I think it was worth it, though.

No, it's a Sanberg. I think they made it to show off at NAMM but everyone loved it so much they've released a production model

What I wouldn't give for one of those. Does it feel rough at all where it changes, or is it smooth?

 

[facepalmmaster]

As someone pointed out in an earlier post, it's an Ibanez Black Eagle. They made them for around 5 yerars, though I don't think they made many, as you don't see them often.


The headstock is a work of art -

It seems like ibanez did a lot of copying other models of other brands. I have at my house an ibanez copy of a Les Paul, ive seen Ibanez Ricks, ibanez fenders, etc.... whats up with that?

Quite the collection, loving the matching headstock on the middle, the gold hardware on the bottom, and the wood on the top and bottom. Very cool!

It was! Once i get my Ray, I may do something like that to it, customize it a bit. Right now i have a schecter that doesnt have a pickguard anyway, so i cant do much, dont wanna screw around with that

The finish is PPG prismatic. You buy it as dry flake, and mix it with either paint or clearcoat. That is shot onto silver


my orange bass has it mixed into Tangerine Candy

Wha?

 

[Lee H]

Wha?

in layman's terms...any painter can shoot the same finish that is on that sadowsky...

 

[DJ Bebop]

Ummmm, what?

The silence of the lambs reference, an off handed twisting of a remark you made before.
