BACK IN BLACK

[SKATE RAT]

I have posted my '75 P-bass before but i had a white p/g on it for like 10 years.i've owned it since '93.i decided to restore it back to original.so i put the old black one back on.it has Bartolini's and a Badass.i've been looking for some old Fender pups but no luck yet.and yes i have a half finished motorcycle in my livingroom.i also live in a fourth floor walk up.

and my tribute to Dee Dee Ramone though his where always white.

I like it better with the black guard!

You can find 70's grey bottom P pickups on eBay for about $200. I know most of them are offered with $300-400 asking prices, but keep looking. AFAIK all grey bottoms are the same, it doesn't have to be a '75 to be correct for your bass. Any 70's pickup will do.

Those Chuck's look just like mine!   When I'm doin' the "guy" thing!

You dress up as a guy sometimes, Mark? Shocking!


Love the bass, but the Triumph is even better! Nice hotrodded one!

[Rhythm N. Bliss]

Nice black vinyl collection you've got there too, SkateRat!

I've got a '78 Fender P Black on Black with maple blankplank.
The pickups kind of match the maple...modded with a J too!!
I'll post a pic tomorrow...

Hey~ AC/DC's got a new album! btw ...& they're touring.

I've ruined everything!

He's a man, baby!!

I'd leave the Barts in.  Are you using the 8S?  I put those in my '64 when I had it.  Best thing I ever did for that bass.

Time for a little Rodney Carrington tune

I love it when guys ask to dance with me.

Chucks - they don't make 'em like they used to. Oh, how I long for a pair from the early 70s with the black label, double stiching, two-layer canvas and cushioned arch. Sniff 

[SKATE RAT]

i do like the Barts but i'm gonna put 'em in another bass.and the old Converse were made in the US the new ones in china.not only do they wear out faster they're not as comfy as the old ones either.

The Triumph on the other hand..................

[SKATE RAT]

is still a work in progress.but its gonna be fast as hell. it's a 73 with the original "unit" 5 speed tranny hacked off and a 1950 "Thunderbird" 4 speed grafted on.(Brando rode a '50 Triumph Thunderbird in "the Wild one") a hard tail.Ceriani racing forks,a mix of British,Italian and American parts. its 4" off the ground .if i stand next to it the tallest part of the bike comes to my waist.  LOW RIDER ! the engine has racing history. still need a bunch of parts and kinda low on funds now but i should have it done by next summer.

I often play my Thunderbird, wearing a Triumph t-shirt. Never knew they made a T-bird too! Thanks, man!!
