Cuzzie Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yes Me - if they are turdburst - that colour should be wiped away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuzzie Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I was finding this cathartic - seems I am on a chocolate swirly downward spiral. I certainly don’t want anger to lead to fear, hatred and then madness. You May be right, I caught myself looking at a ....burst bass the other day, and not wretching like the crying game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a somewhat yet not entirely abstract description of the colours on one particular variation of a well known bit of popular Americana. Me? I think that colour scheme looks more like someone has prolapsed rather badly onto a big sheet of blotting paper and then put a sheet of tortoiseshell down in a poor attempt to cover up the stain. There is no doubt that we both should seek professional advice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure really, I know a professional player that plays most nights and all his kit is still quite tidy really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Fair play to the player. Weirdly I think I take better care of my relic basses for dings as opposed to the non relics - but me and @SpondonBassed are going to therapy for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I don't think it's that hard to achieve, guitar stands and cases have been around for a long time now. Lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuzzie Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I think if we had a Shaun of the Dead moment - I would actually use the non-relic bass as a bat, mainly because it’s a Hohner.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubit Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Belts, bangles and beer. The unholy trinity that will make a mess of your finish. Well these and a few years of hard gigging. It’s just that modern finishes don’t wear in the cool way that the old ones do. Edited March 11, 2019 by ubit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 It’s all down to taste, innit? Some like pristine, some like worn looking. Some like worn looking but only if it’s natural. Some don’t care, as the look is what matters. Who’s right and who’s wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fighting talk. 1 hour ago, Stub Mandrel said: Or more strictly, because you can hit a zombie with a Hohner headless and it won't go out of tune... Oh okay. Fair enough. It's a valid point and it means that Cuzzie and me are still cool. Plus... Hohner paddle basses don't fall over because of the two strap buttons. They aren't going to get the usual knocks and dings as a result. They keep their finish a bit better. Is tw4tting zombies about the head with a bass a recognised relicising technique then?

Cuzzie Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 My kind of therapy would be a good chinwag and a beverage of choice! I have 2 Hohners, a passive white and an active black with Drop D tuner - love them. Zombie Bash - That would be a fantastic colour I may work on, or get someone to!

My Hohner is natural finish - that way the paint doesn't get chipped (although a bit of lacquer has got knocked off one of the corners. Damn).

Nope, just the outside. It's a special rust paint. You brush on a base coat, then spray a mixture over it and it produces real rust on any surface you want. I bought the stuff for artistic experiments. I rusted candlesticks, picture frames etc. then decided to try the old guitar. It still plays beautifully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
