Aging Oly White

hey where in Ohio are you? if its close to N. Olmsted I could walk you thru a few things.

 

some have found a tanning bed will work, I have yet to have the nerve to take one in haha..

let us know if it works.

 

take up heavy smoking, like a 3 pack a day habit. Keep your bass with you. Should do the trick.

 

What some people do to yellow it down a little, is to lay the body on a sheet of aluminum foil and leave it out all day in direct sunlight. Then flip it over and leave it out again the next day.

'Course, you'll have to wait til the weather gets nice again.

 

That or go play in smokey bars.

 

Or to a good old fashioned BBQ Joint! Hang it by the exhaust!

tone to make your mouth water!

 

Imagine the looks you'll get at the tanning salon when you show up with your bass.

 

Too bad. Too many players try to do the whole 'relic' thing with their instruments, but forget that in order to do it right, the amp, and, most importantly, the player needs to have that authentic 'relic' look, too. Rule of thumb: If your bass looks like it's 50 years old, then you need to look at least 65, and your amp needs to look at least 40 years old.

 

nothing like 3 packs a day to make you you look 30 years older lol

Aw, everyone has that one buddy that smokes alot in his car...you know the guy who never cleans his car and has that permenant haze on the inside of the windows. That would be the perfect place to leave that body for like a week or two.

 

We could strap the bass on the back of this Engineer I work with; he smokes 3 packs here at the office each day!

 

thread revival:

Is there any chemical that will age the white prematurely?
