My 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro Bass, that I guess still qualifies as black, even if some grey and silver visual mods have been added, which is strung with the 5 thickest strings of an Ernie Ball Bass VI string set, gauge .090 to .030, and tuned in F# standard tuning, as in 2 half steps above regular standard E 4 string bass tuning, meaning F#1 to D3, and got it's 2 stock J pickups wired in series. Poplar body and a bolt on maple neck with a jatoba fretboard :

And my 4 string Ibanez GSRM20 Mikro Bass, in regular standard E tuning, with a set of P/J EMG Geezer Butler pickups installed, though the Geezer P pickup is soon to be replaced for a DiMarzio Model P, even if I guess it could be argued that it isn't really all that black anymore, despite that actually being it's original stock finish. Mahogany body and a maple bolt on neck with a rosewood fretboard :

I do like black basses, here's my old partscaster Squier Mustang.

I had a black VM Mustang and a silver sparkle Mikey Way signature Mustang and took the best bits from both and ended up with a one-off black Squier Mustang with matching headstock. It was nice for a short scale, but lives in a mate's studio now. And someone out there has got a silver sparkle Mustang with a maple neck. That was nice too :) 1935790891_unnamed2.jpg.517a4ef8c6050073e3c8f20a3e2c01ec.jpg IMG_3145.thumb.jpeg.a0691e7c9e4772090635a85936370e97.jpeg

My '99 Yamaha BBG5s owned from new. It was my only bass for 10 years. The gold hardware has worn to a very silvery gold so looks really nice now.

An old picture in front of my old bi-amped 4x12 & 2x15 rig. 😄

Here are my Black Basses/Guitars

 

Very nice indeed, but the fan frets are making my eyes wonky....a bit of false perspective going on.

But it's a cool wonky !
