It's quite subtle though, isn't it? I don't think it's all about getting the sander out and smearing filth all over the shop, but more like gently taking the shine and 'newness' off, and dulling the chrome a little, making the screws etc. look a bit aged, putting light scratches on the pg, and so on... there's the added advantage that you don't have to worry about putting that first ding in a new bass... it's been done for you!

Absolutely. I'm hoping my HW1 ends up like this in a few years.
