Here is another of mine, all original! Beautiful and pristine 1978. I almost forgot about this black bass being black. I have to add, she is offered up for purchase in the classifieds right now here on Talkbass.

Love a pristine naked fingerboard. Side dots are all you need.

How do you guys make your black basses black? I swear mine don’t look that dark.

It depends on what you want @Captain Chaos

Hi Gloss, Satin, Flat....Polyurethane / Non Poly Finish?

Hi Gloss with a Poly, like that Ric above is probably the hardest....if you want to DIY, it's not to hard, but will take a some skill

Talk to everyone you can including the local paint people

Here's one I did that was Hydro Dipped with about about 3 coats of clear Poly......I didn't have that the skill to do this all by myself.....I needed a lot of help to get this finish
