I don't mind how much playing wear a bass has, but when it looks like careless neglect/abuse, I'm turned off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah same here, i quite like some play wear, but if it has dents and gouges I steer clear , especially on the neck or fretboard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While fiddling with a recoding device, I once placed a glass of wine on my 1966 Fender and the glass (or more likely the detergent) caused a ring stain on the finish of the bass. Sometimes you just couldn’t explain these things to people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely qualifies as neglect/abuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
