I keep seeing these and up-chucking, I'll get to go home from work early!!!DavC is right. A black finish gives a Precision the respect a boom stick needs. Like the Ancient Egyptians said, only cats can direct such dark powers. Cool bass.

Love it! it's got some serious 'tude going for it.
Sound clip? Pretty please.
There is some recording happening at the moment, not finished yet and you will need to like 20-minute prog tracks

As soon as I get me a heatgun, that orange poly finish is coming off...
P bass = good (unless it's pre-1960, then it's awesome)
Tort = just ok (I actually prefer it on other basses and guitars, more)
Flats = depends on the song/bass/style
My Precision had tort and flats, now it is wearing DR rounds and will be getting the black on black treatment,
but I can see why folks prefer this setup.

I am a progger from way back when the the prog gods still walked the earth and wretched neo-classical excess was the rule.
Bring it on. We are NOT afraid.

Agreed
BTW, what is with this painting? I think it will give me nightmares..
Well it is the same color as carrots, so it is the perfect bass for TB...
It is from the Most Holy of Prog documents,King Crimson's debut album.
LOVE the album, never seen the cover. A buddy of my shared his CD long enough for me to download it!
It's a very creepy bit of art ain't it? It's found in the interior of In the Court of the Crimson King.
But hey! If you want real nighmares, give Robert Chambers short story collection from 1895 (!) titled The King in Yellow a read. There were always those who insisted this album took it's inspiration from Chambers' book.
I don't see it myself. But Chambers is still a good read if your tastes run to very unique horror themes. There's a free copy available from Project Gutenberg. Look here.
Yes indeed. Unless you were plugged into the Brit prog scene at the time, In the Court of the Crimson King and ELP's Trilogy formed most American's introduction to prog rock back in the late '60s - early '70s.
