Show your Gold hardware Basses

[Watchootognbout]

I've always felt that dark walnut wood basses look better with gold hardware.

So both of my basses have Ultralite tuners.
The Wolf has a gold Hipshot bridge.
The knobs on both are abalone and gold.

The bridge on the six string fretless is stock.

Its true. I currently have a red Mk2 on order and yes the gold option is over £500 which is = $730. I had a hemorrhage over that one, but I will not have this new build any other way.

I assume there must be some real gold in the hardware then? Eh, you only live once.

Gold plated brass I think. Alembic does it to, for a price.

I was never much of a gold hardware guy until I bought this Carvin SB5000.
It came with black hardware & the longer I looked at it I thought to myself,
man this would great with gold on it. And it does.
SORRY THE PICS ARE SO BIG

Man, that is the 4004 I am on the lookout for. I really like the look of neck pickup set back instead of all the way up at the neck. What year?

That is the bass that got me kicked off of the RickResource forum ... I sold to someone who wasn't part of the secret handshake club over there

My first instinct in replying to that bit of news would get me a TB warning. It would have been funny, but warning-worthy nonetheless.

So I got that bass in a trade ... I wanted to convert in into a 5 string bass ... But before I could I needed money so I put it for sale on eaby ... and it don't sell to one of the Rickresource insiders ... After that I got openly harassed on that forum and finally even the moderator turned against me so I basically told them all to screw off ... and they banned me for life.
