Drilling was required due to USA Hipshot being different from Licensed Hipshots. 811952 Senior Member Username: 811952 Post Number: 2302 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Thursday, May 23, 2013 - 8:44 am:    That's a beauty. hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 1280 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Friday, May 24, 2013 - 7:18 pm:    Wow - that looks amazing. I'm a little surprised on the gold straplock, but at the same time I sympathize - I have a chrome set on order for my Fender... I know you have probably already given the details of the bass in the original thread, but is the fingerboard ebony? That thing is just sleek. I used to be more of a "non-more-black" guy myself - but even my black-trim jetglo Rickenbackers have the standard bubinga/rosewood/whatever it is fretboards. dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 1514 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Saturday, May 25, 2013 - 5:09 am:    Thats just the strap. Black straplocks too.I swapped them out first. 24 fret. brass nut, ebony board, 6 bolt neck, hum cancellor, vol pan tone, bass mid treble, bright sw, mid freq switch, now with blk hipshot hardware. I have other black straplocks new for such emergencies, ie maker not offering black. I still have my wood showing Alembics but I enjoy black. Goes with everything.
