Nah, mine was black with black pg, unless that pg is new.
Also, mine had the slightest scuff on the back of the neck, right at the 5th fret.

My newest project parts bass. Bought the neck right here in the classifieds. Lakland GZ neck, Squier body, blacked out hardware with Hipshot ultralight tuners. Sounds and plays phenomenally and is only 8.2 lbs (as opposed to around 10 like a normal Lakland P/J).
Where I've landed for now, taken awhile to accumulate.
Short-scales, grab-and-go whatever depending on gig.

Tell me about that amp. I’m looking at getting a small ampeg rocket myself for the living room. I’m thinking of the smallest one, the one with the 8 inch speaker I believe. The 1x8 30 watt.
It’s 50w of all vacuum tube architecture.
Cabinet has an Eminence 15” driver and a 1” compression horn. It has a big deep warm sound. My P bass is voiced with Seymour Duncan SPB-1 pickups. It’s a throwback to that vintage tone I grew up with.

Just added #5, it’s a Schecter Sam Bettley Signature.
Good Craigslist score for my bass to leave at my job.

Cool collection, I'm really digging the Reverend.
Hey y'all! Technically new here, but I've been coming to TB for forever to lurk and learn. These are my two main basses of late, and I adore the heck out of them.
The pink one is Skully: The body was handmade by Allan Corona, and I tracked down an MIA Fender P-bass neck to have the fine folks at Portland Fretworks add the inlays. It's my own version of this bass, that I first fell in love with back in 2001. Having my own has been an absolute pleasure, and a stellar conversation starter at shows.
There are a couple of finer little details, to me, at least: The Basslines pick-up cover (which SD stopped producing a decade or so ago) and the inlays. I worked with a graphics designer friend to track down as many high quality photos of the original Skully as possible, and he went about replicating them. Which makes this the closest replica to Mark's original pink bass around. (The color isn't totally right; I don't think there will ever be a perfect color replica, but I think it needs a dash more purple in it.)
The blue one is Lani: I just bought this one a month ago. It's an unintentional replacement of the first bass I bought with my own money back in summer 2001. I just handed that old bass off to a close childhood friend, to give to his kids, so it was shockingly timely to have stumbled upon Fender's new version of my old Essex Jazz bass. It is shockingly bright—I have the tone knob cranked back below the half-way mark and it still might be too much. But hot dang, the clarity in the low-end is unparalleled.
I'm working now to get the right amount of growl for both basses with the VT Bass DI. I'm running them through the Ampeg SVT-CL, but to get the growl from that, it needs to be louder than is reasonable. And I can't risk my guitarists continuing the arms race—we're in a cold war at the moment, and an escalation would lead to destruction.

There is a little bit of everything with my basses
The Reverend is a really nice bass. Worthy brand to look at for sure.
Though I just sold the FSR on the left and ordered this CIJ OPB...
Everything ON the couch.... Gorgeous!

Haggie neck on a Coral longhorn hollow-body?
