Don?t know ! Think it?s original !

Wolfgang, It appears to be black in color but pictures can be deceiving. Asking differently... are the bridge, tailpiece and tuners all black (shiny black) in color? It certainly all looks original.

@artworks99
Yes,the tuners are black,but the bridge and tailpiece are not really black. Difficult to discribe !

Thanks for the close-up. They appear to have been plated, they still look good after 20+ years. Enjoy your bass!

Yeah, I think that's original. When Mesa Boogie was importing Alembic basses, they frequently ordered with black plating, especially on Koa basses.
