JJW Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I love the colour of this, what are your thoughts?

Happy Jack Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I think that's the least-credible wear pattern I've ever seen on a 50-year-old bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Doesn't look real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthedoghouse Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Maybe it [i]might [/i]be that old but it's a very poor relic job done on it :-| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I would be wary, although I suppose that you need to consider that the wear is not from fifty years of playing, as it has been refinished a few times. It's difficult to be sure by just viewing photos. If I was keen, I would be making contact, asking questions and if at that point felt it might be the real thing, then I would see if the seller was willing to let me inspect and play it.

smaz Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 That's a basschatter... I bought a bass from him & he was telling me about his pre-CBS precision & it's neck that's to die for. He's a top bloke & deal with confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Fair enough, but Basschatter or not that is a completely rubbish piece of relic'ing ... looks like 10 seconds with a belt sander for the upper bout, and another 10 seconds with a Dremel multi for the thumbnail wear. If you want to know what that bass should look like: [URL=http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/media/Basses%20CURRENT/Fender%20Precision%201966%20CURRENT/DSCF4281.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Basses%20CURRENT/Fender%20Precision%201966%20CURRENT/DSCF4281.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smaz Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Judging by this photo (not on ebay), the wear near the neck is from picks & the upper bout is natural from his playing style, judging by the wear on the jazz: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
