Thanks, Charles hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 468 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 05, 2008 - 5:33 pm:    D'Addario Chromes? This pic isn't great, but it's the only one I can find of the headstock: Or is the color you're thinking of darker? crgaston Senior Member Username: crgaston Post Number: 477 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 05, 2008 - 6:25 pm:    Hard to tell from the pic on my screen, Harry, but I think it is darker. Almost like the blue in the "add your message here" bar. flaxattack Senior Member Username: flaxattack Post Number: 2103 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Wednesday, November 05, 2008 - 11:59 pm:    i would tend to guess chromes too. georgie_boy Senior Member Username: georgie_boy Post Number: 562 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Thursday, November 06, 2008 - 4:46 am:    I've just checked my Curbow fretless, and........Yep.......they are D'Addario Chromes.

Hard to find since it only lists last poster and not thread started. adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1991 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, November 06, 2008 - 8:00 am:    I think Jimmy meant the Bass of Doom on the Custom Archive, not the FTC threads. The picture of the (chrome finish) tailpiece shows off the blue windings very nicely. keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 1158 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Thursday, November 06, 2008 - 8:19 am:    Or you can look at mine as I also use Chromes. Keith adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1992 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, November 06, 2008 - 8:27 am:    Nice one, Keith. But if I may say so - all that spalty spectacular takes away some attention from the strings. crgaston Senior Member Username: crgaston Post Number: 483 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Thursday, November 06, 2008 - 8:36 am:    Oh, yes, that's definitely them. Thanks, guys. keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 1159 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Friday, November 07, 2008 - 5:51 am:    Adriaan, That was one of my concerns when I ordered the bass and you confirmed it. The string wrappings get lost in the wood. I guess I should have just ordered it in white. ;-) Keith adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1993 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, November 07, 2008 - 6:58 am:    Olympic white? keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 1162 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Friday, November 07, 2008 - 7:52 am:    Of course. People have to be able to pronounce it. adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1995 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, November 07, 2008 - 8:26 am:    What did I say?
