The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

It came on the bass when I got it, so unfortunately I'm not sure. It is definitely a nice touch and really goes well with the "sugar flakes" and the roasted neck.
My BFR came with a black PG and a ebony FB with a roasted neck. Looks like a different special run of MM. I like the "Sugar flakes" too

No same run... I just don't think many chose the solid roasted maple board over the ebony. I picked it up used here in the classifieds. The original black pg had already been replaced. Btw... Nice job at capturing the "sugar flakes" with the camera! That isn't an easy task. Nice bass!

This is a Framus bass guitar but I don't know anything about it. Found it in a storage unit. Can you help me with knowing the model, the year and it's worth?

Pretty cool - is the lever (?) at the bridge/cover for a mute? I'll guess 70's maybe late 60's MIG.
 
Time for an update.

It is just basswood but the finish (IMHO) looks very walnut. The proper Rick bridge was purchased sepearte from the kit to give it a truer Rick sound and look.
 
My three babes. The SR405BCW was almost perfect out of the box, the other two got a lot of work. The black one is about 15 years old, the other two almost new. Purchases coinciding with my new serious dedication to the instrument, not just a thing to mess with now and then. I love bass.

Posted a NBD, but I guess I should have put it here(new here, still not too sure). My first "real" bass (I've had a really bad Rouge...let's forget about that one, shall we ;) ). This is the one I'm going to learn on for a very long time to come, I really like it! It's a Yamaha TRBX304MGR Mist Green. It's a sweet player and came very well set up from Sweetwater, nice to see they care :)
