THAT is DED SEXY!! At some point, I was hoping to see this exact finish on something. I've been pondering this finish since I got my Ceruse Red ABZ, and that confirms that it's AH-MAZING!

That finish, DGTC w/SP switches, SFII's, on a Z3=
...or whatever headless design Sheldon comes up with...


Edit: just an FYI, Bass Direct has the Luminlay side dots as a $118(USD) option, which it is, but it actually is a standard part of the Blacked Out Neck option, so that bass should be $118 less expensive, unless it has Luminlay face dots, which I didn't see...just so ya' know.

Is that a recent change? When I ordered my AB1 a couple of years ago, blacked out did not in any way include luminlay side dots. I don't really see how the two are related -- one is a heel and headstock veneer, the other is a bit more work on the side dots.

It is. A couple of years ago, the Blacked Out Neck option only included the heel and the headstock, the back of the neck was still standard maple. Now, the Blacked Out Neck option is the whole neck, so they’re very much related...

This is by far one of the most amazing Zs to date.

good Gawd.

I'll be honest here : if it was active it would be on its way to me already
Even though I don't need another bass at all at the moment, but damn that is sexy indeed ..

It looks like it is happy with that sideways grin.

 

[seedokebass]

@AB Nate it looks like an elegant slab of marble!

That’s one of the cool things about Bass Direct, they’ll drop a preamp in that beautiful beast! You might even be able to talk them into swapping the 4-way selector for a 6-way...

 

[ThisYouCanTrust]

Yeah but routing the back for the battery and that magnetic cap I'm not sure they will do

 

[pbass6811]

Yeah, there’s that...

 

[singlemalt]

How we ever got by without that genius battery access cover, I just don’t know. But we did.

There would be plenty of room to stuff a preamp in that bass.

I see it!

I know that top. I was looking at that for my AB1 but opted for another. No regrets, but that one is stunning!

 

[johnsonabq]

I even downloaded it. Here's the bass with the raw wood...

 

[Jerry Ziarko]

I'm usually a fan of raw wood grain, but the finished version is so much better that the incredible original.

Question... On a Combustion, where would the closest to traditional placement for a P-pup be... Middle, or Neck?
