Let's see those beautiful Black Basses

[HeavyJazz]

A Sadowsky NYC. She just celebrated her second birthday this last Wednesday.

I've got some black basses. Unfortunately they are cell phone pics, but here you go.
Ibanez SR670

G&L M2000 GTB

Sterling Ray 34

Dean Rhapsody Q4

BC Rich Warlock NT

ESP/LTD TA-204 FRX

The Quilts on the Rhapsody and Warlock are amazing, too bad the camera phone couldn't do them justice.

What is the second one from the top? That is sharp. Like 'em all actually, especially that Dean!drooldrooldrool

That Dean Rhapsody Q4 looks beautiful up close. Pictures do not do it justice. If you're asking about the bass in between the Ibanez SR670 and the Sterling Ray34, that is a G&L M2000 GTS. That bass sounds absolutely authoritative. Very sweet sounding and looking bass.

Edit: Oh yeah, and thank you.

This is my 1973 Fender Precision with Alembic Series I electronics. Bought her like this in Petaluma, CA in 1978.

I so hate you. Can only imagine the roar from that Titan.

Wow! Looks like it was done by a professional. Nice PG too! So I'm assuming active? Is that foam on there too?

Thanks Guys!

Yes, this beast can roar! With steel rounds I can get into Entwhistle territory. With flats I get an extremely detailed and clear Pbass sound. A Pbass on steroids.

I'm pretty sure the electronics were done professionally. Yes, they are Alembic Series I so they are very active (18 volt or it's own power supply). I had a new pg made to move the neck pup back from the neck, more like an Alembic, to get into Pbass territory. The foam is on there to tame it a bit because it can be too hifi for my taste sometimes, but it does so much so very well! Glad you like her!

Does it have that “leather” smell?

 

[Blind Dog]

No, It does not have a leather smell, it is sealed.

Is that T-bird logo back-lit? It looks like it's back-lit, or possibly UV reactive paint.

Remote controlled battery operated LED unit under the cut-out pg separated by a thin piece of translucent white plastic.
