SHOW YOUR DISTRESSED FINISHES!

My P bass from pages 79 and 80 (SHOW YOUR DISTRESSED FINISHES!)
Almost 3 years after, the wear is advancing nicely. Too bad I don't have a back photo, but the wear is much more pronounced there too.

How did the pickguard layers get so yellow?

It's a different pickguard - Spitfire. Just got it this week. It was custom ordered with aged/yellowed edges.

It's a nice one - the yellowing will wear-off where you interface with it. It's some sort of paint, or at least it was on mine. Looks good either way.

Yah, but we've all seen much worse - at least it still looks presentable...

Indeed . And honestly, I wouldn't even mind the shape if I didn't know that it came from a 1965 Precision. If someone scratch built that, I would think it was just fine looking. Not my favorite, but not hideous.

It's like the ancestor of some of the Serek body shapes

I shall like those, but the previous I shan't. I can't. But those, a lot!

I have a real soft sport for Fiesta/tort/RW P's
That Gold one would be a real nice match for my FCS J.
