Royal Mail is getting insanely expensive, and ebay are getting very greedy indeed. I really do think buyers are genuinely put off by even no-profit delivery costs on listings

[/quote] Yes very funny - I always wanted a tired looking 70s fender but better made with better components than the real thing (cue the bass doc making me one)

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1375707261' post='2164499'] Hey Simon, here's another vid with some ideas. I'm pleased I got to rescue the Fender Jazz from you before you went off the rails. ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=o0i-Yz4Cm4A [/quote] I'm very glad you're enjoying it- I sold mr g a very nice cream/tort/rosewood mex jazz with copper shielding so its both smooth and non-noisy

@Fat rich That's very helpful - thanks

It's not a genuine fender, its a bitsa painted purposely in nitro to get it to relic quickly, and to be a fair replica. I'm not going to sell it,

I would like to, but as I said, real life and responsibilities are intruding on my having-fun time. No band, no gigs, little practice time, much frustration

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1375442894' post='2161382'] If you've never done a relic job before the result is likely to be 'variable' at best. Why not get someone to do it for you? [url="http://www.guitarangel.co.uk/servicesDetail.php?Relic-work-10"]http://www.guitarangel.co.uk/servicesDetail.php?Relic-work-10[/url] [/quote] Thanks - I just wanted to start the ball rolling and break the surface on it.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1375440217' post='2161290'] Why not take some pride in it and look after it instead? [/quote] Because I wanted one that would age quickly rather than look like a reissue

Just don't want to work on the wrong bit and make it look like those belt sander efforts on eBay

Pitch it up one octave

Sure I just wanted to start the ball rolling

Its a precision, it would survive

Thanks to pobrien-ie and iceonaboy for their helpful suggestions

[quote name='iconic' timestamp='1375392599' post='2160799'] Lots of blingy jewelry?..rings, bracelets should help rough it up [/quote] Partner would not approve - she doesn't even like me wearing her underwear (did I type that out loud?)

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1375392500' post='2160798'] Keep playing it. [/quote] Sadly real life is getting in the way

Anyone got any ideas for speeding up the natural wear on my nitro bodied and nitro necked p bass ? Particular fabrics , that kind of thing ? I don't have sandpaper sleeves

Clowns.

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1375097151' post='2156575'] I think he is asking about some kind of joinmyVIRTUALband.com rather than where to publish it ? [/quote] Didnt realise sound cloud did collaboration, sorry
