I wonder where Fender32 is, he has one of the coolest all black basses that I have ever seen. I think he calls it the "JazzRay."
Anyone else seen it yet?

This was my main gig bass for 5 years while in my previous metal band (White Knuckle Trip - Milwaukee, WI). I sadly sold it a couple of years it ago. I regret it, but needed the cash BADLY at the time.

She is a 1978 MusicMan StingRay with original pickup, hardware, pickguard, and electronics (black epoxy preamp...holy grail in the vintage StingRay world & very tasty ). It was originally in natural finish, but the original lacquer was in bad shape; cracked in a spider-web pattern over 80% of the body. I stripped it and refinished it in black ReRanch Nitro.

When it came time for a fret job, I decided to replace the neck with a Status graphite replacement from the UK. I really wanted to stay with the 3+1 headstock since it is an integral part of the StingRay sound. From what I'm told, the Status does not violate the MusicMan patent since it is made overseas. The neck was PERFECT from day one. It never, ever budged.

The only down side to this bass was the weight, a whopping 13lbs. No wonder I have cervical vertebrae problems, thrashing around the stage in that band! The body was heavy ash and the Status neck was no lightweight either, although they did balance each other well.

something about Graphite Status Neck and Stingray conjure up memories of the Stealth Ray that was floating around TB for a while

Just figured out how to post a pic, I know it's sad, but I learned sumpin' new....

I'm surprised there aren't more lefty basses on here, since we can get our basses any color we want as long as it's black, most of the time. 4 out of my 6 are black.

Hope you don't mind Sparkley Black Basses. This is my Peavey G-Bass in HaloFlake. 35" Jazz Graphite neck/Pau Ferro FB, Single HB Pup, Cirrus Preamp, and strung with GHS Heavy Boomers (115 - 50), for that AWESOME C# dropped tuning! I am in the process of upgrading the preamp to the Millenium unit, for the Added Bonus of Sweepable Mids! Yummmmmm!

My Sandberg Terra, black mat finish, ebony fretboard.
I'm thinking about getting black hardware, but I'm not shure yet, and its also a bit complicated to get them from Sandberg.
