I finally got around to defretting Black Betty, my first bass. It took a week to do. I was initially inspired by Caseys `how to` post. I found it really helped to heat the frets with a soldering iron, then tap them out sideways with a small screwdriver. I filled the slots with Milliput epoxy...
This was our first gig.

Hiya, im currecntly ordering new black hardware to replace my chrome hardware.
Im looking for black pick-up selector in the shop but cant find it, how do i go about ordering one?
In case you are ridiculosly meticulous about your bass and want it to look great again read this. i personally do not like to mess with my pick up screws since the paint tends to come off easily and this leaves many times some of the underneath metal to show through and eventually these rust and...
Wow, look at this $$ :shock:
I love the Black dragon...simply great... even better than the white Dragon...
Edit: Just noticed the inlay...it is the best I have seen in the custom shop so far ...small, black, great :lol:
I wanted to have noise-free passive pickups and a true Active/Passive mode, so I upgraded to a set of Bartolini 9CBJD3 Pickups and a Bartolini 3.4 preamp, running at 18V.
To maintain the Warwick knobs and have a Blend control with the Volume (instead of one Volume for each pickup), I replaced...
I've just taken delivery of this wonderful unit but I am puzzled by the lack of effect that the tone controls have? Even at the most extreme settings they have very little effect on the sound, this may be a design feature so that you can't mess up your tone but does anyone have a similar...
When I got my new gold bridge and string anchor I noticed a few differences... Theyre both 6 string broadneck... But the Gold string anchor has a regular W on it... Not the warwick W, Kinda weird eh? Also... The black string anchor allowed me to have regular strings without having to get tapered...
Hi , It is the first time that I play Warwick strings....I love the sound...but they are hard on my fingers.....
Does the EMP have the same sound & feel a little better under my fingers?
What about the DR Black Beauties?
Any opinions?
is it possible to have black inlays? simple inlays like dots, sharkfins, bull skulls, dolphins etc. would look cool on light colored woods :D
..and a black W would be great on a matching ash/maple/afzelia headstock 8)
Well I was looking around and saw Florin's post on making the hardware look aged... So I tryed it and it looked pretty cool... But I tend to do stuff overkill if you have noticed my other posts :P So I "chromed" out my black hardware on my 6 string thumb bo. I took some 600 gritt sandpaper and...
