Mattspacebass Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Lol what a piece of sh..........ah looks like it was a great little bass at one point not bad price at the moment if you want to do a refinish tho :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 It's worth 25 as a project. It's not worth 25 postage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubit Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I think it looks ok. It's a copy ffs, good on him for making it unique! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder though, if a bass ever got quite that tatty after 30 years of genuine regular use? Also, isn't personalizing an instrument really about making it that way for yourself, not for selling? I wonder how long he's kept it since doing the improving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPTroll Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 From the pictures, I can only assume his belt buckle is a nail gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregBass Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 "She now looks as though she has been gigged and played and loved for a good number of decades."

[/quote] not a problem to make it unique, but... it looks sh*te That doesn't look like it's been gigged for decades as he claims, it looks like it belonged to your ex, the one who dumped you in the middle of the jungle and left with the guide... so after months lost in the jungle you finally got home, saw the bass, and decided to attack it in a moment of madness. That's what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Still, if the neck has been done well... for £50 it could be ok. Just spray it over, no need to polish, and it'll look decent enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Why are the string winds like that ? Unless it meant to mean after 30 years of playing the owner still couldn't fit strings properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassistclem Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Looks like its been left in a room for a week with 20 toddlers 80 packets of haribot 20 blunt scissors and a sand blasting machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Guitars are meant to be original. This guy has done that. It's better than some mass produced clone of a clone. I don't think it's terrifically natural looking, but not many relic jobs are. The Rory Gallagher strat, for example is horrible. It has stickers on it to replicate the missing paint from Rory's original! Now THAT looks crap to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoo Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I particularly like the way he's put the tuning key in backwards and then mounted the whole thing on the headstock backwards as well. You just don't get that attention to detail from these boutique relic shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
