I've got a 'Road Worn' series P-Bass and although I wasn't too fussed about the 'ageing' thing, it was a lot nicer to play than the brand-new sparkling 'Classic' version. It had a much more 'played-in' feel and it looks pretty cool as well. The other advantage is if it picks up the odd knock or two, it's not really an issue. In terms of actual Custom Shop Relics, it could be the difference between actually taking it out and using it and keeping it safely tucked up in it's case through fear of that first ding on a pricey instrument. Other than that, many people love the look of vintage guitars.

Hi I'm Dan. Been a bassist for about 5 or 6 years but I've been playing guitar for around 15. I'm pretty-much a 6-string convert and unlike a lot of guitarists who end up on bass, I actually prefer it. I play in a couple of bands varying from pub rock covers to original stuff. My top players include McCartney, Entwistle, Peter Hook & Mani. I use an Ashdown ABM 500 Evo III head and ABM 6x10 cab. My bass is a Fender Road Worn P-Bass, but I'm on the look out for a cheap MusicMan Sterling. Looking forward to using these boards.
