As far as black Rics go, these are the pinnacle - I have a couple that are close - a 1993 4003S/8 and a 2004 4003, both in Jetglo with black trim & hardware. The 4003 was made for the Japanese market - they weren't doing anymore BTBH domestically, maybe using up parts?

 

[mindwell]

Two of a perfect pair: mid-90s, with serial numbers within a few hundred of each other.

 

[Brother Goose]

Black is beautiful.

Medium gecko fretted w nordstrand pup and Seymour Duncan circuit.

Wide gecko fretless w big singles and OBP3.

A delightful pair!

Just love this whole shot, not just the bass itself. Unfortunately, at least for me, it also inspires some proper biblical ol’ timey sinful jealousy drool

 

[bdplaid]

I've had a couple...

Fender AmPro
Warmoth "Cracker"
Schecter Studio
Spectorcore 5
USA Custom Guitars "Black Betty Bam-A-Lam"
Yamaha 425X
Warmoth Rat Bass
My newest and bestest, G&L JB

These are but a sample of The black basses I've had over the years. I still have a few of them, and have some others, but some found better homes.
