I don't like plain black basses

[Micha84]

Okay, I admit it: I really can't stand a black Fender with a white pickguard! And you know what worse? Black with a brownish rosewood fretboard! And natural headstock! Come on! That looks like somebody just pieced together all the last parts he had left in stock on a friday afternoon and couldn't be bothered anymore.

I'm sorry to all you guys who play and love their Fenders like that, I am sure they are great instruments, but to me they always look like toy guitars. Cheap ones.

Sorry!

Sorry!

Sounds like you need to focus more on playing...

I don't like them, either. I'm more of a natural or translucent matte finish guy when it comes to basses.

However, I do love me a black matte finish on a guitar! As long as it has a rosewood or ebony board!

I don't like plain white basses.

Plain black looks elegant.

It's kinda like tuxedos - there are white ones, and there are black ones, and which do you prefer?

It's all subjective, right?

Powder blue?

Big fan of all black.

Ebony fretboard too.

SDMF!!! What type of Schecter is this?

 

[Clark Westfield]

It's a JD Deservio Signature.

It used to have a BLS flag on the body, that I painted black to make it more gig friendly.

Installed a Sadowsky preamp at the same time I painted it.

No regrets at all.

Aaagh, there's always one. At least. I mean, I need to focus more on playing, too, but we're talking cosmetics. For instance, there's a black Sadowsky Modern 5 string in this thread that is, no doubt, a fantastic instrument. But if I was ordering one, I'd order a different color.

I like to think of my black bass as being outstanding in its field…….

Ohhh, not fair! Even I have to admit that that's stunning! Of course, the black/gold thing looks great on that bass.

That is beautiful! Looked at their site, they made one, and you got it. That is so nice.

Your soup strainer looks great there Jeff and it matches your toupee to perfection loll

 

[metron]

I'll pass on black and brown. Especially with a pale wood headstock.

Black and maple is good. No matching headstocks on maple necks.

Also, this one was very cool
