Black on black is kinda played out, but always looks quite cool.

Check some of the custom threads scattered around the forums for ideas.

Rento Rizoli has been doing some nice custom jobs lately.

White with Black pads looks pretty cool



those are the infamous "bacon pads" right there... probably the first of many bad product choices akai started making a while back. :lol:

yeah... why couldn't they just put the black pads they used on the mpd16 in there... the paint job is not bad though...
