Ok - I didn't appreciate the distinction other than in terms of being hard wearing or not. My p bass body is painted in nitro but I want to fake 70s wear as that's what its supposed to be approximate replica of. I think a best of breed wear pattern is good enough for my tastes I am thinking about how to mimic the paint dings - steel ruler, perhaps, for the wider ones and the pointy end of a pin hammer for the small ones Still at a loss about how to age chrome. Any suggestions?

Sure - I realise the heel might be a bit overdone but it's not that far from the 69 jazz above

Doesn't the 69 above has this same wear in the neck pocket ?

See this eBay listing 111410948590 Do ppl think this looks realistic ?

I'm with you - just play it

Plates and knobs might be different I would ask mckendrick - he seems like an expert on things CIJ to me

Good player and she's hot as well.

It's not unusual

Sure but my point was that lapsed players, or young people will then know he exists, they might not go looking for him

Letterbox leaflet drop? Takes time but I'd call someone who was local and made me aware of them

I have had a few and it's the rolled edges that make the difference

That's in my neck of the woods- thanks for posting

I have a 12 string acoustic which is even better for writing. I don't keep sixers in the house

I was reading that a brass plate in this spot changes the sound subtly - is this true ?

I'll knock his block off if he makes any more weak puns

You get quite a lot for your money - easily enough to do one bass Because the glue conducts you don't need to solder, just overlap the pieces slightly then wire to earth somehow . On mine I get zero measureable resistance from the shield to the jack earth And it looks shiny

Might be worth taking some pics for Klohon so he knows exactly what's in there now
