I like the weathered but I want it black! Im going to combine it with a black Juggernaut from ASP and have the bastion as an extra emitter basically and not use the blade.

One of our fellow members have an all black Bastion. I forgot who. I'm sure he will remind us. :)

I like the Bastion too. Ordered one the next day when it was launched officially - standard finish, Champion Deep Blue.

Your idea sounds sick!

I'm not sure what you're suggesting, but it sounds close enough to part-swapping that I'm going to say this: The apprentice sabers are only two pieces, saber and pommel, and I don't even know if the saber and pommel threads are ASP compatible. Meaning you can't just have the Bastion emitter.

There is no way in hell, that any saber company would be ok with part swapping. Though, I don't know if any are big enough to defend against it :pinch: Though alot of companies will follow the ASP lead, or go out of business

It's a great saber. I really want to get two of them rocking yellow for my double bladed saber.

Do you mean part swapping between companies? I think both TCSS and Ultrasabers use the MHS threads, but TCSS isn't okay with that, IIRC.

I was only thinking he wanted to swap the Juggernaut emitter out with the Bastion one, which would be within one company (Saberforge), but impossible.

I was going to use a coupler on the Bastion and Juggernaut like a staff but just not use the blade.

Would be a claymore with the Juggernaut emitter with the blade and Bastion emitter as the pommel

Actually, since there is a single staff coupler, all the pommel thread sizes should be the same, and thus be the ASP pommel system. So, yeah. Go ahead.

Ahem, black Bastion is the way to go, picture for proof. It gives the saber a stealthy look.

Except they dont list the Bastion in black so I guess you have to go through the custom shop?

Not sure Im willing to pay another $80 just to change the color. May just end up getting one from US. I do want black and their Malice with one of their basic black sabers would do. They even have windows in the emitters for an extra $5, hehe

My error. I apologise. Maybe my foolishness can be forgiven or maybe it won't.

I really dont think mentioning a company is" direct promotional material".

I would obviously prefer a SF Bastion and thats why I had asked the question but seeing as they dont come in black and black is what I want it leaves little recourse. Once my income tax comes in Ill make my final decision. The ASP system would solve my dilemma but Im afraid it wont be available for months yet.

I don't think mentioning the stock of another sabersmith is considered "direct promotional material". Someone with knowledge please correct me if I'm wrong, but If someone posted a link to a sale or a specific saber order form on some other website, that would be frowned upon. I don't think saying "yeah Ultrasabers has black sabers with emitter windows" is really the same thing...

Nothing overtly wrong yet, but lets not fall into rancor trying to decide if a rule was broken.

MHM's saber is powder coated black sandblasted and anodized, but you could see if you could order a weathered one and ask them not to strip the black anodizing (SF makes weathered hilts by anodizing the whole thing black then stripping some of it off).

Try anodizing or spray painting. It's pretty simple and it looks pretty good.

Jaden Korr, that's inncorrect. I debated this topic with some other members a week ago. I agreed to email Justin to find out from him.
MHM sabers finish was lightly sand blasted, then anodized. Finish is not Powder-coated!
