[i]This is a 100% Genuine Fender Mex Jazz bass originally put together back in 1995. It has however been taken apart, had a blowtorch set fire to it and put back together again. [/i]

self created relic, bloody idiot, , "distressed" reading about it

[GregBass]

"perfectly aged with the right amount of dings, road wear and grime"

If I had a bass that looked like that, I would called it damaged, not reliced.

[FinnDave]

One of the nastiest attempts at 'relicing' I have seen. I can't imagine why anybody would pay £155 for a piece of junk like that.

[Truckstop]

God, what a complete f***ing disaster.

[EliasMooseblaster]

Jesus H Christ, did he dislike the contouring on the body and decide to iron it out?

[HowieBass]

He mistook 'road worn' to mean dragging it behind his car for a couple of miles...

[Ou7shined]

I knew it was going to be him just from the title

[Beedster]

That really is a indication of what can happen once an idea takes hold in the brain in the absence of a proximal restraint mechanism*

[Beer of the Bass]

You've got to admire his attention to detail with the relic'ed strings though!

Not a trace of irony in the spiel either....

Perhaps it's postmodern relicing?

[Pinball]

people are bidding on it.........that must mean that someone likes it!

Maybe he was covering up a small chip!

He omitted to say "in the eyes of Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles.."

Sounds like the title for a TV documentary...

Even Hendrix's burnt guitars aren't this burnt and he used to burn em!

Looks like it entered the Earth's atmosphere at near escape velocity.

[Roger2611]

I think it is a good relic.....I imagine this is exactly what my bass would look like if I suffered a sudden unexplained pants fire mid gig

[itsmedunc]

It looks like a combination of a sacrificial burning and an acid attack!
