I decided I really wanted a reliced bass - I've loved how they look for years, well, heavy reliced ones anyway. Only thing is I could never find a factory reliced one that I really liked, so I decided to make my own. I didn't want to buy a new bass to just relic it, so I actually made my own body and just bought a neck and did it myself.
Spec:
1 piece solid alder body
rosewood on maple squire neck
EMG-P active pups
Badass II bridge
Wilkinson machine heads
What do you guys think? It's my first relic so be nice!
I've done refurbs before, but only boring flat gloss finishes, never experimented with relicing.
The body and neck are both finished in tru-oil that has been rubbed down with wire wool for the matte effect.
I think I might have over done the back of the neck a little bit, it doesn't quite look realistic, but oh well.
Anyway, heres some photos:
