Question about finding parts....

[erv]

Soooooooooooooooooooooo I have this beautiful golden/orange musicman sterling 4 string bass that I would like change just a little bit....
I was wondering if anyone knows of where I could order a black pick-gaurd, black chrome tuners, black chrome bridge, and black chrome knobs for the volume and tone knobs???
any help would be fantabulous....

i think its a powder coat

You can order a black pickguard from any number of places, including your friendly neighborhood Spiderman EBMM dealer.

Tuners, bridge and knobs....might have to go to Allparts to get something that fits. As far as I know, those aren't available from EB. There was a limited run Sterling (Onyx) that had those features, but those aren't being made at this time.

Try emailing customer service at Ernie Ball to see if they MIGHT have some leftovers, but I think you might have to search the 'net for everything but the PG.

Good luck!

I work in a auto body shop. No go on painting over chrome. There's no way to make the paint adhere.

alright, so I should try EB Customer Service. I'll try that, yeah... and I'm planning on hitting up guitar center down the street from my job too...
I'll post pictures as soon as I get this all hooked up! It's gonna look so pretty when I'm done!!!

High quality pics! Professional lighting! Amazingly large resolutions! MM basses deserve it.

I'm not sure if we do have any of the Onyx black parts, but if we did, it would have to be a direct replacement only with the old part returned to us.

hey, if you could check for me that'd be uber sweet of you! I'd give you a hug. I'd totally be down with returning the old parts to you once I'd get the new ones on.
let me know what's going on duder.....
hehehe, wanna sponser me? bwahahahaha........

Sorry, I should have been a little more clear, and although we all need a good hug now and then, the replacement parts would have to come off a black onyx bass....Exact replacement parts. For instance, if you needed a replacement neck and your neck is maple, you could not get a rosewood neck. Same with hardware.

I would look into powder coating if you REALLY need the black hardware.
