Here ya go - last week's gig with three black Gretsches. Just right for our surf band!

Post by: Hornisse on September 19, 2009, 02:26:59 PM: I love black P basses. Here is one from November 1979. I was going to St. Andrews College in Laurinburg, NC and we had a band called Abdominal Trauma. I had bought the '77 P bass that summer for $300 and it was like brand new. I was using a Kustom III head and matching 215 cabinet. I also had one of those cool Schaller clear coil cords. Wish I could find another one! (note: Mr. Bill Tee Shirt)

Post by: Pilgrim on September 19, 2009, 05:55:39 PM: Our drummer has the only set of green Ludwig drums I've ever seen - carefully chosen - so he's not up for Gretsch drums. On the next gig I'll break the black Gretsch theme and play the gold top Casady, which will still look great with those black Gretsches.

Here's a black Turser '54 P clone with added chrome stripe:

And carefully chosen or not, +1 on the Gretsch drums.
