Relicing a Bridge

[namraj]

Normally I don't like the whole relicing thing, but I have a 1983 Ibanez Blazer (P bass style). Was found in a skip or something. The old bridge and tuners have been replaced and the shiney new hardware looks out of place. How would I go about making them look of similar age?

Get the body refinned.

S.P.

I am a student, I have virtually no money to my name, and the body has been relic'd naturally, and looks quite cool, even though its not normally my thing, i would quite like the bridge to look a similar age if thats possible to do myself.

you could hit it with the steel wool to take away some of the luster

steel wool and judiciously brush saltwater onto the likely spots where sweat can be contacted? I dunno, not sure, but I figured the salinity of the sweat and salt had to do something with corrosion
