Way to go Jeffery! That is a nice one you've got there!!

I can't get an answer from the "ritamcdonald" Shadow on the 'bay right now.....no answers to my e-mails...

If this one is a "new" one....the list would go to 22.....

The Shadow has everything going for it.....checked binding, hot pickups, slim/fast neck, black dot neck....and it's... BLACK.....what's NOT to like? Image

Whether there's 50 or 5000, they're an exceptional bass and vastly underrated in my book....I've had 4 of 'em and I WILL have more ;-) ......BWAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Sean...I had DR blacks on one of my Shadows and didn't care for them....they LOOKED cool, but I certainly didn't like the feel OR sound of them....they are all "show and no go" as far as I'm concerned....don't like 'em.

What, no black frets?
