Great work, Bart, I'm enjoying these and I'm not a huge RHCP fan by any means.

Loving that Gretsch, great work 👍

If the the finish just wore away as the result of you playing it, that’s not relic’ing, that’s real and honest wear and tear 🙂 Relic’ing is fake wear intentionally applied to achieve the effect of looking aged when, in truth, it’s not old or worn at all.

What I enjoy most about these things is the "mistakes" - the fluffed notes, loose timing and scuzzy tone which should teach us all to never let the quest for perfection get in the way of playing with passion and personality.

Is Scott the one trying to sell you the underwear?

There's lots of harm but where are the lodics?

I’ve never heard Careless Whisper interpreted in such an individual way before.

A couple of things to bear in mind about old Aria SBs is, firstly, the ones with fretboard dots tend to have incredibly narrow string spacing at the bridge, which may or may not be acceptable. Secondly, there is a problem with a lot of the old MB pickups where one of the coils dies, meaning your E and A or D and G strings don’t get heard. Since the pickups are epoxy sealed they cannot be repaired. Aaron Armstrong makes a replacement which is the right size and shape but it doesn’t sound anything like the originals. I’d second the L1000. It’s a beast with the pickup in the right place but also comfortably the most versatile single pickup passive bass out there.

I don’t want to be around when they spend 7 years in D minor, the saddest of all keys.
