Deep Thought Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I suppose I have been quite remiss in not participating in this thread before, considering that I don't possess a bass that isn't black. I therefore give you:- My first bass, Westone Concord I, circa 1984-5. Still played on a daily basis Fender Mex Precision, rosewood board, Wizard Thumper Shuker JJ Burnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algae Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Mmmm that Shuker would go nice with my JJ Burnel head , how does it compare to your Fender? Edited March 9, 2011 by Algae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighter, more powerful, better sound, better made. Tone switch that actually does something. The Mex is, to be fair, my backup bass-before I got the Shuker my main bass was an '07 US Precision (in black, of course). I was perfectly happy with it, but the opportunity to get the Shuker happened, so the P had to go. I like the look of the JJ amp, but TBH, even if I was in a position to get one, I don't think I would. My GB Shuttle suits me so well, amd I think having JJ's signature bass [i]and[/i] amp is taking things a bit too far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical P or thinner Jazz style ?[/quote] Typical P, as it's based on his green 60's Precision. I'd seen comments about the width of the neck and was expecting it to be huge, but being used to P's, I took to it immediately. Slightly rounder profile than my US, pretty much identical to the Mex.

Algae Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Mmmm sounds good but you are probably right - having the amp and the bass could make me look too much of a JJB anorak (eventhough I am ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thinking about it, black has been the most common colour of all the basses I have owned. Here are all the ones I can recall (and have photos of): Gibson G-3 Epiphone Les Paul (not so) Standard Yamaha BB300 and BB614 Yamaha BB350F Gibson SG-Z G&L El Toro That's it, I think. Still got the Yamaha BB350F and the G&L El Toro. Miss the Epi a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonEdward Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 [quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1290266455' post='1030505'] Not got one myself, but I figured that we didn't want anyone accusing us of being racist (bassist?) with the white basses thread lol. Plus there are some nice ones out there. So... what you got? [/quote] OK. It's a J.D. custom four in kinda black... matt black, opaque black, translucent black...
