I have bought a 70s Greco Jazz Bass in sunburst, I want to take it and sandpaper it on the top to make look as if it had been played 5 hours a day for the last 30 years, any reccomendations to do this?? just buy the sandpaper and go with it? |

I bet someone could make a lot of money if you could "smoke treat" your bass to look like it's been played in the smokiest bars for 15 years.
