Brian, is the gold guard from Tony @ pickguardian?
Looks cool on the JG...

The bass came that way to me courtesy of another forum member. It has a gold TRC as well. It would not surprise me at all if Tony did indeed do the work.

I have all the white plastic as well but I also like the look of the gold.

Nice! Is the the black fretboard standard or modded?

That's how they were made, Ken. Like the Blackstar, Redneck, and Tuxedo it has a maple fretboard finished to match the body, and microdot position markers.

Me likey!

Wait a minute. Which are we talking about? The "Blackened" Laredo that Brian shows was custom refinished including the black fretboard, so it ain't "how they were made." I think it may have been a maple fretboard to begin with, but don't remember exactly.

Man, whenever I see black Ricks, I think "Wow, I need one of those!" There are some excellent examples here! Weird that I've never owned one, I guess I always get drawn away towards some nice looking wood grain...

I think he's referring to Jeff's Glen Frey.

BTW......my Laredo is a 2005 with bubinga fretboard.

Isn't Jeff talking about his own bass -that Glenn Frey?
That's how I read it...

An alternative title to this thread could be "Tony's Nightmare Finish Thread".

Nice looking pics all around. Thanks for sharing!

These aren't dark enough but here they are anyway...

I really thought I'd go for a Jetglo but...

I fell in love with some wood grain!
Sorry...

Matching cat and bass...
