The Bass Doc Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 OK this is me at age 60 (two years ago). The bass is my main gigger a 63 Precision (with added Di Marzio Jazz - sorry!) The bass has been playing the same length of time as me but as you will see is in slightly better condition than I am. The relicing is entirely natural in the case of the bass but in my case there was some deliberate damage caused by tabs & beer.[attachment=23746:Mouth_of_the_Tyne.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
