I'm trying to get an idea on what aged parts go for.
See below and let me know.

I would trade an unreliced MIM bridge for it if that is what you need.

If you're thinking of making and selling them as a "thing you do", then I'd say you could add one hour's labor to the cost of the bridge. Your labor in this case might be worth $10 or so.

Thanks for your input.

I'd pay $10 per aged part. I want to age a ashtray, bridge, control plate, and eventually tuners.

I've been having a devil of a time ageing my tuners. For some reason I can't get the same result, as the other prts I've done.

what method are you using? PC etchant, salt water brine, others?

how much are you selling this for?

I placed this in a sealed bucket with a top. Inside the bucket was a cup of myriadic acid. The fumes attacked the metal, and I left the bridge in there for 12 hours.

Will I sell it? Not sure. I really have no use for it. I also did a bang up job on a neck plate and string tree.

First attempt at relicing

I guess I could sell it. Not sure if I'd sell them separately or together. I will think about it. Not even sure what a new MIM bridge goes for. Make me an offer.

If you ever decide to offer the service, let me know. I'd like to relic the chrome parts on my p-bass. Not a lot, just enough to take the newness off the parts.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm barely understanding the process. God forbid I screw up someone elses parts. :P
