99ster Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) It's enough to make a grown man cry... How to ruin the look of a very special vintage bass.

The 'super cock' sticker kind of says it all for me... Edited February 7, 2008 by 99ster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Pretty hateful. I wonder though if there are any old Fenders which people customised like that nearer the time they were made, without knowing how valuable they would eventually become. I suppose if this bass, for example, was covered with stickers and so on in the 70's then the owner could be forgiven, sort of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noisyjon Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 How much do you think it would cost to have it re-finished and relic-d to its original colour & look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Don't think the neck was even taken off to strip the original colour, looks a bit like Mr Sheehan's old P bass finish. At least it's just stickers. Does John at Bravewood still take on vintage restoration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebo1 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 No, Bravewood have stopped doing restorations. This one is overpriced, it should be half that figure for what it is. You can pick up a 64/65 in the US for about $4000 get it shipped, pay the duty and you'd still have enough money for a few pints and a curry.
