SHOW YOUR DISTRESSED FINISHES!

But it does sort of read like marble. I also see animal hide with the curvy bumps being leather stitching. A lot going on with that simple item.

Making a mold of it would allow many options... pie crust form? Jello? Pizza dough? (for the marble version) ... I wonder if the seller would accept an offer?...

Ok, I found this and thought it would go well with the Jazz bass body kayak since the guy who would have one would likely have both. It's off topic, it's distressing, I'm done. I'll focus now.

I cant give that enough "likes". The bass, the Mike button, that is just a good portrait.

That's "Jaco" Sock Monkee (he prefers the real spelling) He's constantly woodshedding... sez' Watt is "the man in a van with a bass in his hand".

But he's a bit taken back with this...

That white Precision :drool: the 'burst Jazz :thumbsup: and the Jazz that the Phillip Morris CEO owned :sour: are my faves, but I also give cool points for the "Anvil" pick stuck on the black P as I'm guessing it might be the bass's name. It's heavy and you can hammer out good sounds on it? A nice pile of finds.

Haha!

Wow! what a drop. That black P has some interesting are wear with that island in the middle. That arm wear looks like it runs in the opposite direction one would lay their arm. Maybe the player liked picking and muting with their palm on the back of the bridge a la Dee Dee Ramone? I'd happily take any one of these home.

It is interesting, and looks like it had a spring mute like the old Jazzes at some point on it. Oh, and DeeDee was the business :thumbsup:

Is that related to the green colour?

Instagram - I get regular alerts because of Gildaxe and there is always a distressed bass among the choices. It usually is one pic w/no info.

I played a '63 J at Chicago Music Exchange years ago - it was pretty exceptional, especially the neck. The price tag was exceptional also ...

Looking at the back of the neck is like lifting a girl's skirt :)
I am astounded when that particular shot is missing from a for sale gallery.
