I herewith distance myself from the contents of this thread - only black is beautiful!
Actually, I like chrome or nickel on some basses (I prefer a chrome mudbucker to a black one in look if not in sound - variety is the spice of life).
Sorry you'll get nothing from me here for at least a week....... :'(

My screen-name is a bit of a misnomer. I actually prefer nickel plating, but I'll go both ways! :)

Nah, it's an ObG. I added the pickup rings just recently.
Just a tease, this bass has way more chrome on it now......Some new shots soon.

Pickup cover? Chrome pickguard?
not a bass, but at least a Gibson. did I hear pickguard?

Love the Chrome Lp pickguard.
Looking through these pictures, it's clear to me, Chrome, makes a bass look better, in my opinion, its bling and jewelry for the bass. With Cherry it looks really nice.

Bridge cover and pickup/handrest, both N.O.S. parts. The chrome just gets me hot!

I always knew law school was a breeding ground for evil!! :o
Wonder if George still has that chrome pick up picture with his member's only reflection on it?
I remember that. It was huge. I think he had his chrome parts custom sized to capture the sheer enormity of it.
Uwe
Yeah that was interesting. I advice sensitive viewers to look the other way now.

Wow, he really was excited by the chrome!
Mmmmm...... Me Too!
EEEEEEEEWHEW!!!!!!!!!! :o
Did someone say chrome?

Yes, it's a 90's Limited Ed TB with Gibson pups added to it. It was George's and he was kind enough to sell it to me awhile back.

Oh come on, isn't that a thumb?
