I will commit another 75 cents. That's all that's left after paying for the 21-fretter!

Seriously, I have used a Tesla coil and a largish ceramic kiln in the past. Works great. Cost $415 total used, not counting the low-pressure paint gun that I already had.

I like the idea of the BT option, but I think the black paint or powder coating looks kinda cheesey. There are places that do black chrome. I think THAT would be cool.

I wish the hardware on my 4001S was black, at least the treble pickup surround anyway.

How about a sharpie or maybe black shoe polish for the fretboard. Get that Blackstar look? ;)

Marc, completely "Blackstarring" it has crossed my mind. When I first saw this S out of the corner of my eye in a music store, the first thing that I thought of was BLACKSTAR...then as I looked at it reality set in, but a very cool bass anyway and a great player. It just needs a fret job.
