My acronym translator isn't working today….BABP?
I like Labella white/copper tapewounds on my fretless Tune WB4. I have a set on the walnut Cheyenne too.
Been thinking of trying a set on my frettted jb2.
Special edition made in collaboration with a bass forum (forum no longer exists). Here is one of the L2000s that they did. G&L L-2000 Limited Edition Bad Ass Bass Players #6 2007 - Blackburst | Reverb
Friendly reminder to sure to oil up your wood every now and then!
I do mine every Halloween while I wait for the great pumpkin.
I Love those, there was one for sale on Reverb for a while but just looked and it's gone. Really cool bass !
I always say no one does metal flake finishes like G&L, and I stand by that. But their Blackburst is also the best Blackburst out there. Just gorgeous!
I have a very similar L-2500. No matching headstock but has natural binding.
That's one thing I like about my maple fretboards, oil free ! Pretty board you have, what model bass is it?
That's really pretty. I do mine about once a year with ye olde F-One oil.
Extremely, totally cool; what a great job!
You've got me jonesing to do this with my Trb Kt4.
Wow.
I'm totally into bursts and love the finish on the SB-1, but that's a great blue on the JB, too. And the straps make them look even better.
I think I might have asked you once before what straps they are, but I'm not sure. The one you have on your SB-1 looks like it would be a great match for my honeyburst Stingray and my vintage tobacco burst Sire V5R. Mind me asking (possibly again?
) where you got them?

I know I'm probably late to the game, but I didn't know Dee Murray played G&L.

It's a strap I had made for me special for that bass, Orangish Snake scale design on leather, solid orange leather backing underneath. Padded about 3 1/2inch, but they use centimeters. Made by a guy who makes custom straps in Mexico, called Fafnir Custom Strapps. I would recommend them, it wasn't cheap however I really like it, very well made and perfect. They have many different styles and colors, different widths, almost anything possible. If you want one the same as this one I'm sure they'd make it. Show them the picture of it if you'd like. Here's their facebook link, the strapps are artistic IMO

New pickguard day.
I blame @Ricky Rioli for putting the idea in my head. Stumbled on a guard in the classifieds here.

(I need to get it in the sun for some better "after" shots.)

I have always preferred a black pick-guard on a Burgundy body over white.
I like them both, each definitely gives a different vibe.
