In his eBay ad ( [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Jazz-bass-1975-reissue-heavy-relic-rosewood-neck_W0QQitemZ260430820183QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item3ca2e2f357&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1683%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Jazz-bass-197...%3A1%7C294%3A50[/url] ) he does say its been "given a professional heavy relic treatment". He's not passing it off as a "real" vintage. As to why people do this, it is a matter of personal taste as evidenced by the many threads on BC about this!

PS, what a collection! You've spent nearly as much on basses as I have on beer over the years

Didn't mean to imply any funny business on the seller's part. I suppose the relic treatment game is a bit like plastic surgery, fine if the end result is OK, but with the possibility of a disastrous outcome.
