hectorUK Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I have always liked the look of battered and aged guitars and have i like the idea of having a bass that i had worn down naturally myself. it seems that with the poly finishes just dont wear down the same way nitro finishes. I have just got a 2010 jazz bass and i have been trying to find a nitro finished body online but havent had any luck. anyome know where i can get one?

skankdelvar Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Mark Jenny have got a nitro 3-tone burst Jazz bass on the bay but it's a US import, obvs https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MJT-Official-Custom-Order-Vintage-Aged-Nitro-Finish-Guitar-Bass-Body-Mark-Jenny/313143689095?hash=item48e8d17f87:g:67UAAMXQwMdREqcO Another option is to buy a bare wood body (plenty of those around) and drop it into a spray shop like Martin Sims https://www.sims.guitars/spray-shop/overview If you keep plugging away on Google and eBay you'll find something eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuzzie Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Get a blank and finish, or get an existing one, strip and refin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want it to relic back, surely you don’t want a very pro finish on it, is it not better to spend £10-20 On a ratttle cam from Dartfords? You can still achieve a high quality finish with these if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuzzie Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I got that, but tried to cover both angles saying that you can get a great finish with a can too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, Brig, not a clue. Best give them a bell, spec out your needs and presumably they'll give you a price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
