Let's see those beautiful Black Basses

[ppiluk]

Here is a new addition to my collection...i just replaced the pickguard with a White Pearl one and I think it looks amazing! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a full body shot with the new pick guard but you get the idea!

Not terribly beautiful, but it's black. 1988 Japanese Fender Jazz Bass Special. It was a gift from a good friend for helping him move out west. I defretted it, and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of a Warmoth Jazz body with flame maple top that I'll be finishing in black dye and oil. That should actually be closer to the legal definition of beautiful. I'll post pics after, too.

Wowza! Except for the name on the headstock, that's as black as is possible for a bass to get. It wins the thread IMO.

Not stealth but the black pickguard was the right call

Wow, that's like a dream come true to me. I didn't know they existed. Thanks

So far there's only one ;-)

I've been looking at your work on your website and I'm very impressed with all your instrument's. You have excellent taste.
I wish I could afford to have you create me one. I'd love to have a Noir. The only changes I'd want would be a Babicz Bridge, different control knobs and the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Stinger Stacked Pickup.
I can dream . This Carlo Robelli UBD-410 I modded is probably as close as I'll come. I've got $150.00 US in it.
Sounds and plays excellent.
**Peace**

I like how the white ply of the pg hooks I with the last fret... looks great!

This ‘pops up’ quite a bit on the TB Forum one of my FrankenFenders (Amer. Spec. P body w/rebadged Geddy Lee J neck, SD QP pickup, etc.)

... actually- wasn’t so pretty ‘beautiful’, one night, when I popped a callous... but ‘the show must go on’!!
