Oldman Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Finally, arrived 1st May, Gigged 2nd then went on holiday. Out to play this week. A kind of translucent black over the body fading to a matt finish on the edges, DR Black Beauties set it of nicely.

Oldman Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks Guys, it is a lovely Bass, its called Black Mamba after its "Green Mamba" sister, which was my inspiration for the build. Putting the Green Mamba up as a feeler soon [attachment=192264:Green Mamba.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldman Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Both Overwater Contempory Jazz with John East retro Pre's, but, there was a Black Sei Jazz on here that I rather fancied, that started the rot. But I bought the Green Mamba first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
