They get very good reviews too I think the Nate Mendel has a 41.02 nut, it also has a 7.25" fingerboard radius which I find too curved for me 😒 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went onto his website and clicked the English version but it still isn't very clear. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 It is nitro. I’ve never seen a poly relic job that looks convincing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, and to be quite honest, if I had a bass thats finished in nitro then it would wear naturally after plenty of playing anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peety Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I must have been lucky I'd already had a couple of LImelight basses when I saw this on Marks website , was a special build he'd done , I had spoken to him before about a sunburst relic but he had always said it was very difficult to do. Probably a bit too heavily relic' d for some people but I like it and it plays beautifully Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassApprentice Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Just stumbled across this page on Facebook. Guitars come out at roughly £300-500 and there was a bass on the Facebook page. Worth getting in touch to see if he can do what you're looking for. http://dyguitars.yolasite.com No idea what components he's using but if they are good quality I could be interested too Edited February 22, 2019 by BassApprentice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LITTLEWING Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Each to their own, but I still don't understand it. Might as well tow it behind your car for a mile or two and then rub it down with wire wool and T Cut. A real honest old guitar is dripping with mojo and every bump and scratch has a story to tell. Still, just like plastic surgeons, there's always a customer who loves getting rid of money. Oh, must go, just got to pick up my Porsche. Got a guy to put rust patches, holes and fade the paint and crush both front wings in. I'll be proud as anything driving that down the road just as it is.......oh yeah....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
