JoeEvans Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I find the concept of relic basses bizarre and annoying, and many of them look awful. But I actually wouldn't mind owning one because I like the look of battered old instruments. Consistency isn't really my strong point... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, to me the JMJs are incredibly well done, really look like genuine wear - in fact all of my bandmates in both bands thought I’d bought a really old vintage instrument the first time I took it to rehearsal. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm there too, with the added complication of being too precious about my basses to allow them to get into 'relic' condition organically. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Mark Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 (edited) I do have a few relic basses, which have been done really well IMO. I couldn't buy a Pino P any other way unfortunately. I'm okay with them because I don't get stressed when they pick up dings on gigs. I hate scratching pristine basses. YMMV of course.
