"Professionally burnt on purpose" misses the mark with me...

[Neo1]

I wonder how much training a "professional" needs before attempting such a service? Do they charge much? They did get the headstock as well, so points for that, but this looks like a total fail to me (but maybe that's the idea?). Definitely looks best being gigged in a very dark club.
(FYI - bass is listed for $315, down from $350).

Here's the write-up on Facebook:
This bass sounds badass.neck is straight as an arrow..plays and sounds amazing!! Active,just recently set up, and yes..it looks bunt up..was professionally burnt on purpose to make it look as metal as it sounds!! Comes With hardshell case.Will consider trades.



So based on their description, it must be the "best professionally burnt on purpose bass for metal"

A variation on relicing? I'm familiar with roasted necks, but this is something entirely.

 

[Killing Floor]

Lucky the neck survived the fire.

 

[5StringBlues]

Those are just crack pipes scars.

Whoever buys that has been “professionally burned”. Thanks, I’ll be here all week.

The dollar store stick-on cross really ties the 'badass metal' look together

He probably just found his old bong from college.

Professionally? As opposed to what? Pulled from the burning wreckage?
Attacked by a monkey with a welding torch? Accidentally left inside a hot car in Miami? (Florida people understand this one).

It's this kind of that gives relicing (sp?) a bad name.

 

[micguy]

Professionally burnt? If you just stuck it in the oven for a while, what's the worst that could happen?

answer: see photo above.

There's a fine line between faux wear and "that looks like manure". That line was crossed here. And they kept on going, hoping it'd get better at some point. It didn't.

Here's an amateur job I posted long ago, but always remember. It was originally posted on my local CraigsList under musicians:

That abomination was done by a rank amateur.

That abomination was done by a rank amateur.

Amateur comes from the Latin root “amare” which means “to love”.

That bass isn’t a work of love. It’s a work of hate.

should have used a roasted maple neck on it...I'm just saying...

Actual image of the professional at work. (He also does other music gear)

 

[Ggaa]

Hadn't thought about my Ken Smith Burner in forever, now they done it.

 

[vvvmmm]

So I got this new job, see, I'm a professional bass-burner.

I don't make much dosh and I get laughed at a lot, but I always smell ...

... unique.


I love the smell of burning poly in the morning.

Also, shouldn't that cross, for consistency, be upside down?
