Black basses

How I love a slab bodied MM!

I was going by the transfer on the P. Sounds like an ace gigging bass, certainly looks the biscuit.

Two very nice basses, glad to hear you use them.

Just noticed all those other MM bodies on the wall. Quite a collection!

Not really played Ricks, so daft question I'm sure, but what's all the chrome gubbins around the bridge pickup?[/quote]

Chrome gubbins just about sums it up! There's not much point in looking for a reason behind a lot of Rickenbacker's design quirks :)

That's gorgeous! The only black bass I've ever had was a 78 P. It used to react very strangely to UV light. Should never have got rid. I swapped it for a T-40 which wasn't a bad trade apart from the difference in value. The T is the better basd though.

Very cool bass. I like the way there's a contrast between the pickguard and body even though they're the same colour. The builder has pulled off the same trick in white [url="http://www.lighthouse-bass.com/Lighthose_Basses_ENG/Gallery.html#34"]here[/url].

And that's a very cute amp. I want one of those despite the fact I have a more practical (for me) markbass 1x12 combo.

Come to think of it my new (to me) Corvette $$ is also black. I didn't plan a collection of black basses, honest!


I don't want to hijack the thread, but I'd like to put black strings on my Warwick. Any suggestions/recommendations?
