Dude that bass is freaking METAL looking!!!
LOVE that black headstock and the block inlays.
Wish there were more black vintage looking basses out there...I get that people also want sea foam green or orange, but you should have an easier time being able to get a road worn looking bass in black IMO...
Thanks! \m/

Purple and it's factory. I have a few by Marty and he's great but it's a Fender FSR Adam Clayton signature. They did a P bass too but the Jazz numbers were smaller and it even came with a black/white hounds tooth print case so double fun. I just have a thing for flake.
It’s a really nice player so I thought i’d dress it up a bit.I like the ashtrays and tugbar on the Redline Noir P there.
My black J bass with black pickguard, black hardware, and roasted maple!
My Sadowsky MV5 in cherry burst.
If the referees allow it... Dingwall's version of the Jazz (Super J) with a maple fretboard and black blocks. The "Geddy" color scheme.

Nothing fancy, just a 2017 MiM Geddy Lee Jazz. It was bought because it had a maple fingerboard and a Fender version of the Bad Ass bridge. It's been modded since then with Seymore Duncan 1/4 Pounder PUPs, a 920D stacked control electronics, a fancy pick guard and tungsten weights added to the back of the headstock, under the tuners to remove a dead spot on the E string third fret.

My Lull M5V. I wasn't seeking out a maple boarded bass (in the past most of my favourite basses have had non-maple boards) but when I tried this one out in the shop more than eight years ago I was instantly smitten.

LOL, you've found the perfect emoji for looking at fanned frets! Dingwalls are very well-made machines, and they sound great. But yeah, really hard to find in shops - you might look for TBers in your area who own one to try out. The frets are easier to play than to look at... it's an adjustment but not as much as you might imagine!
2002 American Deluxe. I love this bass more than anything else I’ve ever had other than the Alembic Orion Prototype I had that unfortunately was not fireproof and was lost in an inferno 12 years ago. I still hurt from that loss.
I lean towards maple, but come on you really "need" both. LOL
