Is that blackened hardware? Play it Healthy! wolfgang New Username: wolfgang Post Number: 7 Registered: 2-2012 Posted on Sunday, February 26, 2012 - 4:44 am:    @artworks99 Donīt know ! Think itīs original ! artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1673 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Sunday, February 26, 2012 - 8:44 am:    Wolfgang, It appears to be black in color but pictures can be deceiving. Asking differently... are the bridge, tailpiece and tuners all black (shiny black) in color? It certainly all looks original. wolfgang New Username: wolfgang Post Number: 8 Registered: 2-2012 Posted on Monday, February 27, 2012 - 7:43 am:    @artworks99 Yes,the tuners are black,but the bridge and tailpiece are not really black. Difficult to discribe ! wolfgang New Username: wolfgang Post Number: 9 Registered: 2-2012 Posted on Monday, February 27, 2012 - 8:02 am:    Lookīs like that ! Like dark brass !? artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1675 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Monday, February 27, 2012 - 8:28 am:    Thanks for the close-up. They appear to have been plated, they still look good after 20+ years. Enjoy your bass! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7644 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, February 27, 2012 - 1:45 pm:    Yeah, I think that's original. When Mesa Boogie was importing Alembic basses, they frequently ordered with black plating, especially on Koa basses. wolfgang New Username: wolfgang Post Number: 10 Registered: 2-2012 Posted on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 - 8:18 am:    @mica Thank you very much !
