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.

Pickup cover? Chrome pickguard?

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

Um, Uwe probably knows of a little shop, somewhere in Bavaria, that can powder coat all that sparkly chrome black

One of the few left...

Not a Gibson or Epi, but it's got shiny bits!

Ebony and ivory, er, chrome can live together.

A nod to my past...

My favorite EB. Needs a better picture. I feel a session coming on.

I'm working on a virus in Marvel supervillain mode that will turn all chrome and nickel of this world irreversibly black ... (play tape with mad laughter ...)
