josh3184 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Was just having a think (as one does) about listed houses and it occurred to me that it would be great if there was such a thing for basses that prevents fools from doing horrible things to classic instruments (like spraypainting a 60's fender neon green, etc). Whilst musing I thought of two rules: 1) Custom basses may not be altered except by original luthiers 2) Basses created before 1975 may not be altered in any way This is incidentally all tongue in cheek, I know there are little teensy things like, ooh, human rights to prevent this sort of thing, but what would your other rules be?

leschirons Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'd ban people from covering their basses with stickers that don't peel off and make it illegal to wear a bass lower than the knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaver Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Bear in mind that 'listing' has different grades that works roughly like this: Grade 1 - you can't muck about with any of it Grade 2* - you can't muck about with any of it, unless you really, really have to Grade 2 - you can't muck about with the outside (you can do what you want with the inside as a long as you ask nicely) Nearly all listed buildings are Grade 2. You can have your thread back and enjoy yourselves now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 People should have to ask for a permit to make any modifications from Basschat which will be reviewed and undersigned by Nellie She'll get to them eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjb Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Do not de-fret fretboards unless you know what you are doing, otherwise you'll end up with lines that look like an old garden fence. Edited February 6, 2009 by rjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
