Show your blocks!!

I hate some of you TBers! Not only do you have awesome looking basses (with very nice blocks) but you take better pics than me too!

The secret is in the lighting. Unless you have really good lamps, you want to use natural light, and lots of it. Another thing that's worth trying is to take your bass outside just after dawn or before dusk, set your camera up on a tripod or other stable structure, and take a picture without flash. Your camera should automatically select a slow shutter speed and you'll end up with something delicious.

S.P.

please enlighten us to how those inlays are magnificent blue!! I've never seen blue inlay material and I've been looking for ages!! and is that that kahler fixed bridge? how do you like it?

jinithith2,
When I took these pictures I didn't use flash and the Abalone really came out a deep blue...In real life they are more a lighter silvery blue. As far as the Kahler goes...It is a very nice solid bridge. The reason I ended up using a Kahler was because I wanted very wide string spacing and it was the only bridge that would allow me to get the spacing I wanted. It is not a very user friendly bridge. You have to take the strings off to adjust string height and intonation. You have to play around with it alot to achieve the above, but once you get there then its great. Again, It will allow you to get the widest string spacing af any bridge out there....Of coarse the neck width starts to factor in also...

I like Scott Reeder's bass when he auditioned for Metallica. Anybody knows the brand?
