Green Aurora Knobs from Xentric Guitars on eBay! They've got tons of cool colors to choose from!
Beastly!
I rather like the idea of the tiny surface-dots along the upper registers. Neat-o-cool!
Its a Wrap on a Ray34.....looks pretty good huh?
It wasn't easy though
I don't believe I have ever seen a photo of someone's bass taken in their bathroom! I hope you don't leave it in there while showering? All that steam would not be good for it!

Ok, I'll bite. Why two ? They look identical (and very nice).
but seriously, my teacher's bass will always be iconic to me. being an endorser, he promoted it as a Carvin LB76F, but in actuality, it was an XB76F (35.25" scale) with a 24 fret(less) neck. he used to joke that he and a buddy of his "broke" the custom shop by ordering too many basses with these specs, and they refused to make any more.
he let me use it during a couple of sessions, and my performance... let's just call it "microtonal" and leave it at that.
may he rest in peace.

They had three black Classic SR5s at the shop, as it turned out all completed within a week in June 2010. One was pretty lightweight with a nice open sound, one was very punchy with the best B-string, one had a lovely growl to it. I liked all three, couldn't decide, so I bought two.
BFR's are best overall investment. Papa nailed that one. Very nice example.
