I have become a sucker for the chromalusion finishes (black fire being my favorite) but sadly there are not many pictures floating around.

If anybody owns an instrument with any chromaluson finish please share some pictures with us! :-)

Andy, thanks for the links! They are not bad at all :-). Bob, I have seen the rogue at bass central before. It is great you posted the link so we have them all together here.

I am still desperately looking for a SC black fire which was displayed at the Alembic online store very early and has never been shown since it was sold. I was hoping the owner could possibly post some pics - or maybe even Mica would be kind enough to share the old pictures again?

Apart from that, keep them all coming!

Oh, you mean this bass! Bass NorthWest had it - it is amazing!

Oh yeah, might have been this one. Great find! Although I must admit none of the above photos show off the chromalusion effect very well, if at all. The best picture is in the rogue link where you can see how the colors change at the neck.

I think the major problem of the photos is that all were shot with flashlight coming from the viewer's angle, whereas the chromalusion changes color when the angle between the light source and viewer are different.

Mica's original pictures of the SC showed this effect really well.
