That is SWEET ! I love the Black Red Black Pickguard material. I wish I could find sheets of it. I had to pay stupid $$ for the 2 Cabronita style guards I had to have made.
I'm curious about the toggle switch. Does it stay in the forward position as it is in the photo 98% of the time ?
Wow, never seen any of these instruments before. Very impressive. Obviously unique and you can tell a lot of thought went into their designs. The quality Craftsmanship looks to be top notch also.
**Enjoy**

I usually play it in the middle, with both pickups engaged. It's the only JP I've got, and that's its special sound. But I was recording with the P last night.
My PG journey with that was interesting. JP90s came in three colors, all with a one-ply black PG. But those guards were a bit thin and the area around the jack plug often cracked, so the aftermarket provides thicker black ones to beef up the material. I had a triple-thickness black one on there for years, but then I called them back one day and ordered up a BRB one on impulse. I don't remember the PG company I ordered from, but that BRB material must be out there somewhere.
Without reading about the cracking problem, I'd never have put anything else on there but black.
I loved it so much I took some of my daughter's paints and filled the knob markings to match. I think it looks pretty nifty. As has been pointed out in this thread a couple times, black and red look great together.

My last bass of 2020 delivered on December 30.
Looks like it's in great shape.
You need to show that beauty off here too!
Acoustic bass fetish club Part 2
I’m surprised this thread is not a club. It definitely deserves to be. My 0.02 anyways.
AHA !!! Well that is humbling. I’ve now found a new fascination on TB. Thank You.
So I see this thread today, well just yesterday I got my first black bass ever, 2006 I think almost never used Squier Precision Standard, took well the needed setup and to me it looks so beautiful with its matching headstock and matte Pewter finish...
Sounds and plays so good for the price!

So I guess I can finally add another bass to the "Black" collection here on TB. Got it a few weeks ago in a trade.
Traded a Peavey Millenium BXP 5 string for this Peavey Millenium BXP 4 string loaded with MEC Dynamic Correction Pickups from Warwick and a Tone Monster 2 band preamp. Controls are volume/blend/stacked bass & treble.

Heeyyy, you tryin to pull a fast one with that picture? One of dose tings is not like de udder!
Am I remembering correctly that this bass had a little single coil pup in there previously?
Or maybe no...
Not to be a party pooper, but a matte Pewter finish is not a black bass.
But I still like it!
It had a Seymour Duncan hot rail when I got itAm I remembering correctly that this bass had a little single coil pup in there previously?
