Love the BT, unfortunately, I'm just going to have to look since I don't have one... yet...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Re: The Official 'Show Your BT' Thread
Here are a couple that passed through five years ago. Shoulda kept 'em, I suppose. The MGBT I found on eBay was spotless. Sold it to Jeff Rath, and he moved it on without converting it to a fiver. The maple was really light with no yellowing. In some photos, it looked like a White BT.
The JGBTFL was an oddity. Seen only one other like it. Sold to Jared Nakanishi in Hawaii after toying with it for a few months. Guess I'm not a fretless player (yet).

This was among the recent one-offs from RIC, the "Honeyglo" 4003, the first to feature 4002 CB body wings:

I don't post much here anymore either, but I'm around!
Here's my 4003S/8 JGBT:


It currently resides on the opposite coast at my friend's studio, but I'm heading back there in a couple of weeks and hope to take some new pictures.
My Autumnglo is "pseudo-black trim":

Although the hardware is chrome and the binding is cream, the plastic is black. I'm actually not totally sure what "trim" refers to - usually it seems to mean plastic and hardware (and binding?), but sometimes you see the black plastic with chrome...

Re: The Official 'Show Your BT' Thread
From what I can gather, "BT" means black trim, which would include pickguards, TRCs and binding; "BH" means black hardware, such as tuners, TPs and p/u surrounds (and may also include jackplates and surviving bridge covers).hieronymous wrote: I'm actually not totally sure what "trim" refers to - usually it seems to mean plastic and hardware (and binding?), but sometimes you see the black plastic with chrome...
