A mojo too far ... knackered 70s Precision

This is an example of the type of 70s Precision I am definitely NOT after!

There's a school of thought that says the worn ones are the good ones. There's another school of thought that says you shouldn't take a sander to your already slightly mojo'd bass. It could be the sweetetst Precision ever, it could be a dog, but the wear looks unusual to me?

Exactly what I thought. 35 years of wear & tear to expose all that fairly clean, pale wood underneath? Go back to Relic School, pal.

For whatever reason, people do seem to be prepared to pay fairly silly money for once-derided CBS-era Fenders, but why would anyone think that 20 minutes with the wet & dry will make them pay even more?

I like it!

I agree to the school of thought of worn ones being good ones, Especially when its happened to a custom shop bass :)



Then again the fretless is probably the best fretless i have ever played. :rolleyes:

The more I look at this, the more faked it looks. You can see the real wear - eg the little dark patch in the middle of the bare wood on the back shot & the rubbed & grimy-looking areas on the front. The rest's been scratched & flaked off by the looks of it.

And someone should tell him that "plenty of fret wear" [u]isn't[/u] a desirable sign of relic'ing! :)

i love the 'Yes, thats right, it's 34 years old' bit, as if from the approx 1975 date point, we'd struggle to count back.

It's the 'real deal' ahem.
NUFF SAID!

Why does it feel like if you bought this bass your wallet may well be missing by the end of the transaction?
