philw Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Black and gold looked right on a 1973 Lotus 72D (with Ronnie Peterson drifting it through Woodcote), and nothing else. The one rule with gold hardware is, "Never!". Edited March 10, 2014 by philw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazy_olie Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm not a fan, usually, but does often work of black and some natural woods. I'd quite like to see some bronze hardware, that's very rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. Do I spot some obsessive detail in the placing of the string balls at 90 degrees to the slots? I'm just off to do the same...!

EliasMooseblaster Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I notice JHS are still shipping the Vintage VS6 with gold hardware...afraid I don't have a photo of my own, pre-Wilkinson one, but I'm sure the body finish used to be a shade darker than the one pictured. Closer to burgundy than to cherry, if you will. I reckon gold looks alright against a suitably dark background. (That said, I'm glad my tobacco-burst T-bird has black hardware...)

I think that, crucially, the fact that the body is a darker, Vintage Gold probably makes all the difference in that respect . Very, very nice looking bass all round, and I have no doubt it sounds great, too. Edited March 10, 2014 by Dingus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I wouldn't really notice that too much myself, but it is an easy fix. By the same token, that same bass with chrome hardwear would still probably look just as good, albeit in a slightly different way. Black hardwear would look wrong, though.
