If you’re offended by relics, don’t read any further and don’t post any negative comments. if you wouldn’t have one, or don’t think they look good; you’re entitled to your opinion and I won’t try and change your mind. if you have one, or are planning one, post your ideas and pictures here. here’s mine I used the back of a kitchen knife to roll the fretboard edges, a bradle to do the rsndom dinks and the same knife back to do the edges. I was careful to think about end grain. Bare wood was sponged with tea. I used a green dish sponge to take the gloss off the paint. I thought about the strap rub points. I did nothing with metal parts. No belt sanders were harmed

I’ve not seen one yet, tbh and I’m not that picky

Ich liebe das total I totally f ucking love it. This is mine - I’ve not done a relic before

[blush] If you put a thin wind of ptfe on the shaft, drilled out the knob and then put a dot of silicon in it, it would conform, grip and also be removable

Drill them out, use ptfe or use some silicone sealant to get the Splines right @ikay

Why not just wind some PTFE tape around the shaft ? ** ** I’ve paid good money for this ...

That’s a bit unusual

Are the pups the same size (exactly)?

Good call

Hard metal, not cheese metal or death metal

Those look like the ones I got (packaging v similar) . They were usable

Nothing wrong with that

Suggest you look up Kate Davis and also Post Modern jukebox - in one vid they have two guys playing a double handed bass solo on just one bass. It’s the one with three girls singing in glam dresses

It’s not called “the dusty end” for nothing....

A Japanese 62ri jazz that I bought from the late oldgit. Also a natural 75 ri jap jazz scored for just 300£ on eBay because stupid scheduled it to finish at 2am

Yes get metal ones - best for playing metal

That’s glossary 1.0, ready made, right there. Good work mister

It worked out for Sting ...maybe it’s okay because he is already in the police ?

It would be helpful for any newbie if you could explain at least the outline of what they’re about ? Kind of like “showing him/her where the toilets are”? figuring out some of “the darker magic” of basschat could take quite a bit of thread archeology. I’ve been here ten years and I still don’t know the reference behind “a waste of TIM”. @ped could we consider adding a glossary? We are getting to a point of jargon-load where there are too many references to obscure things that no newbie can expect to unpick and so integrate ?

Take A look at this @julietgreen She’s not tall and managing fine

@Harryb0201 you should be aware that “is that bass any good for playing metal?” Is something of an in-joke around these parts
