Very heavy relic project

Ah! thats what its now known as -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Squire-Precision-Bass-Body-VERY-HEAVY-RELIC-/111594314392?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19fb8a1a98

"Heavy relic" = "dragged it out of the river".

Shame as it's a rather nice looking body

In that case, I heavily relic'd a VW Golf on the M62 in 2007. Still miss that car.

Looks like the body's actually coming apart, or is that just a heavy finish cracking up?

[Bassassin]

It is water damage - the wood's swollen & split the lacquer, by the looks I'd be very surprised if the wood's not split too. The cracks are huge.

There's definite separation around the neck pocket - speaking of which, you're not going to get anything in there without considerable work, even then there'll be warping, meaning a neck's unlikely to sit straight.

Total ruined garbage - it's too wet to even be firewood.

Yep, and given the hysterical relic obsessed culture on eBay, I bet it'll go for well over £30

Fair play to the seller though. There's nothing wrong about that description that I can see.

Yep. I just wonder what it was doing in the garden. Did he plant it and grow some more?

I see someone has actually made a bid, just wondering what he is going to do with it!

Here's the same guy relic'ing his BMW
