Yes thanks - the tiny scratches are quite well done by a scourer, and they are also good for aging plates. On the body I try and rub in the same direction that a limb would move over it to get it looking right I'm working from home today so might get a moment to try the zoom to see what it can do in my break. The bdi is only 26 pounds on amazon new but it might come to that. Thanks for the feedback

thanks to everyone for posting. I came up with this rough distillation of everyones wear plus what I know I would do (over time) myself blue dots are flecks and blue lines are erosion. No buckle rash as I dont do that.Thumb rest wear as in Skol's as I do use the thumb rest quite heavily. I've not overdone the rear upper bout wear [url="http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/EPSON002_zps95bd8ad4.jpg"]http://i1149.photobu...zps95bd8ad4.jpg[/url] I've taken off the shine a little using a scourer to better resemble the flat patina of an older bass - I do need to research more carefully how to do the fingerboard. Now all I need is some wire wool and some time.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1404252901' post='2490914'] I really liked it. I also had the album and that was good as well. [/quote] And she was hot as well, bonus

Yes I heard that too. Alannah currently residing in the "where are they now?" Files ? Pity.

Thank you all so much for your input

No pic for me

Thanks - although all that club member stuff seems a bit sad

@skol Very helpful thanks and it's exactly like my own replica precision Could I have a photobucket link so I can look closer up ? Thanks

Thanks - very noticeable that there is no forearm wear on the second one

Thanks - very noticeable that there is no forearm wear on the second one

I think that's the sort of thing I was after, lozz

Does anyone who has a genuinely worn p bass have any pictures of it they can share ? I'm interested in where they do wear through. I've taken the shine off the paint nicely but I don't want to make it look like a belt sander job (which is what Google might show me) Thanks

I would like one but only if it could be certain that no one of average intelligence or more could be deceived further down the line than my ownership

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1403782715' post='2486257'] If (If if if if if if if etc) the original sale was the sale of a counterfeit good, then all subsequent sales would be too. It doesn't turn into a legitimate item just because it's been bought and sold. The item itself would be illegal. [/quote] I have a law degree, I know this. And actually the second purchaser without notice does get title. I was just saying that the unscrupulous could use these easily to fleece people. I'm saying mark could do more IMVHO to brand them (in the cattle sense) to prevent this - not to detract from his otherwise fine product I hasten to add

I was talking about resale further down the line

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1403781357' post='2486220'] I remember reading all the PRS -v- Gibson stuff. Functionality didn't come into it. Gibson lost because their lawyer famously told the Court "Only an idiot would get confused at the point of sale" on account that the PRS Single Cut and the Gibson Les Paul are actually very different and have their own names on the headstocks and the different shapes. Point of Sale doesn't have to be from a shop - it can be any subsequent sale as well. But the Limelight ones use Fender's proper logo and headstock shape. I can't imagine that scribbling Limelight on the back in biro would be enough. I don't like it. It's too easy for the next owner to remove the Limelight bit and try and flog it as a proper Fender. [/quote] I do agree about creating fertile ground for fakes, but I was talking about a future argument not some past argument. I'm not sure that I could tell the difference between a limelight with the marker pen removed and a real fender. If he was to metal stamp "replica by limelight" into the back of the headstock, neck pocket and under the pickguard then I would have no problem with his work and neither would fender, I imagine
