Hey guys, i know i don't post much round here, but i do come on everyday and spend most of my time reading and learning from what you guys say.
I thought it would be nice to see everyones BT basses together in the same thread.

I'll Start off with mine, She's A 1998 4003 MB,BT:

Bring on the BT

Love the BT, unfortunately, I'm just going to have to look since I don't have one... yet...

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).

Not mine, but still showing on the 'bay by OV:

And let's not forget this little number (not mine, but "The Bass that Ben Built") featuring 4002 CB body wings:

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...

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).
