Another relicer is at large


Recommended Posts

Interesting that he has time for all these proprietary techniques for aging the hardware, but didn't bother to get the marker pen off the case, although, of course, he thinks it will come off easily.

If any of you are interested, I am developing my own techniques for aging basses, which includes soaking the parts overnight in a bowl of my own urine (patent applied for) and smearing the fretboard with a compound I've been harvesting from between my toes. I'll be marketing these basses as "Organically Reliced".

But do the guitars enjoy it?

I am sure he is a lovely guy, but I personally think that anyone who does this to a guitar is a knob. Its just my opinion you know. He might think I am a knob for not liking what he does to wonderful pieces of kit. He is welcome to think that.

Calling ebay sellers that we don't know knobs is the entire raison d'etre for this section of the forums, so yes, yes there is! :)

For example, this "professional" job that GAK are offering for a mere £1500.

It's a respectable hobby for some folks (and some 'knobs, too, perhaps..!) to 'relic' scale models to give them some degree of 'authenticity'...

...some are better than others, and anyway, to each his own.
As far as basses (and guitars, drums, amps etc...) are concerned, I have enough patience to wait the 30 years or so required to get the 'real thing' (my drums, bought new in '74 or so, no longer look 'new'...).
