Geek99 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Im thinking of building my own battered looking 73 style precision - has to be sunburst or maybe natural Does anyone have an idea where i can get a nitro body to wear out myself in time, or someone who does respectable relic jobs ? Just doing some window shopping, not buying immediately Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were you, I'd get a body made and finished by one of the many talented makers on this site. Browse the Build Threads part and ask a few. The Jazz I had finished by a gentleman in the US is starting to age nicely after a little under two years of mild yet frequent use. I'm in the middle of a P build (I'll do the painting myself this time) and expect it to be similarly aged after two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 It might be possible to pick up a Highway One/1 body from ebay - they had very thin finishes which were intended to wear quickly. It'd probably mean importing from the States though, where far more basses seem to get parted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
