The Black Christmas Bass

[projectapollo]

Almost got here for Christmas..... NBD from Pete DuBaldo, Big Al Roasted BFR 4SSS. Played her for a few minutes -- Yikes, forgot what GREAT tone this thing has.

First Look Under the Hood, Lots of Goodies:

The little Striped Kitty looks on approvingly:

Yes, a BFR special bass specimen:

The Front:

The Back:

The Neck that was Roasted like chestnuts on an open fire:

Black Christmas Bass hanging proudly in the music room along with the 25th BFR and the 30th SR4. Notice the art with project apollo moonwalker autographs (my dead astronaut collection).

Lastly, for those of you wondering about the Black Sugar -- it definately does NOT photograph properly with a flash. The finish is subtle and very professional looking. Not gawdy, at all. I worried about that from some of the photos I saw.

Beautiful! That neck is awesome. OK Pete, where's mine?

 

[LawDaddy]

Sweet! I see the cat approves

 

[Freddels]

Gorgeous neck. Are the new 4's made with the mahogany body like the 5's?

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

That's a nice collection you have there. Is the SR5 HH a BFR as well? If so, that would mean you have 100% limited edition/Anniversary basses!

That neck sucks. Yes indeedy-do.

 

[Powman]

Congrats!

I can feel with you, since my late christmas present looked a lot like yours...

And dang they sound fine!

 

[Manfloozy]

Yay, congrats Bill! I'm glad it finally made it's way into your hands. Now the tough part, deciding which one of your beauties to play on any given day.

Merry Xmas, and congrats!

The Albert Lee bass in all black is probably the coolest thing I have ever seen. It is so "The Jetsons" in an awesome way.
