Charlie H 72 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Nice! I wish all of the hardware was chrome, but then again, im rarely a fan of black hardware. I also like the unconventional pickguard shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian d Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Are those black flatwound strings? How do they sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblaty Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 yeah, the black hardware switched the customer from his second bass and the pg shape is traditional see 51´ p-bass (or Sting´s signature) an this is an audio sample Bass test strings are DR Black beauties - between nylon and flatwound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
