yorks5stringer Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-100-genuine-USA-Fender-5-string-Jazz-bass-thru-strung-relic-with-case-/271109465745?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3f1f622691"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3f1f622691[/url] Wow, is that a real 1964 5 string Jazz Bass? It looks soooo authentic. "This is better than a custom shop model" Should have gone to Specsavers? Exactly what natural process have they reproduced by putting a bloody big burn slap bang in the middle of the rear body? Sex on Fire? Live in Montreaux? Is it a Fender-Burns? Did someone use the ashtray and it burnt through? Edited November 24, 2012 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Barf!!! I don't mind relicing if done well, but some people...... Well words fail me. I think that there's a gap in the market for relicing tutors. This is just pain nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashborygirl Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) What he says it's not is exactly what it is. Awful, awful, awful, ruined a perfectly good instrument. Edited November 24, 2012 by Ashborygirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassPimp66 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 It looks like sh** . On the other hand, at 99p start price, I may consider buying it for 5 GBP for spares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Are you guys joking??? that bass is awesome!!!! I cried just admiring its beauty. Nah, it's a wind up - it's horrible. Having said that. I'd gladly have it cheap and remove that finish if I still played 5 strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaFunk Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I don't get the relic thing at all so whether it's a custom shop or a bloke with a sander they all seem as pointless as each other to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Sam Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 He must have been confused. He use the back as an ashtray instead of fitting them to the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I don't understand the attraction of a pre-roadworn bass? IMO It's analogous to passing over Katherine Jenkins in favour of Jocelyn Wildenstein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalMan Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 More evidence of the horror & butchery [url="https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/103790762953751177073/albums/5809487362827813873"]HERE[/url] I am afraid I REALLY cannot see what anyone sees in this sort of BS [quote]Q: Hi - how much does it weigh? Was it relic'd at the factory, or is that something you've done? A: Weight is 4.25KG And yes i relic'd it, I relic guitars for a living, so its a very professional job.[/quote] - for which read "I totally f#ck up guitars for knobs like you so you don't have to.

Ultima2876 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Wait, it ended at 99p with no bids? I'd have took it for a quid... what happened? Wish I'd have read about this yesterday... Or did it have a reserve? Edited December 3, 2012 by Ultima2876 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalMan Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Perhaps a blind person bought it direct from his website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mep Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Keep an eye out for it's re-listing. Bet it goes for few quid with some of you keen to get your hands on it for spares! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
