My holy grail fell into my mitts today. Pretty overjoyed. all-original 1962 P. Incredible mojo, with local history, and essentially one owner (now in his 80s) prior to me. She's quite filthy right now, but I will gently clean her up in the coming days. Sounds as good as you think.

Dang one owner! That in itself is amazing. To put that much mojo on something. Congrats!

Thread 'SHOW YOUR DISTRESSED FINISHES!'

Nov 5, 2013

OK, before I start, please refrain from posting your opinion of how you feel about distressed finishes right out of the gate. I am so not interested and there are other threads to vent your opinions so please, read on and decide if you would like to contribute.

What I am simply requesting are pics of any bass or guitar that has a distressed finish. It might be your bass or a picture you might have downloaded of a distressed bass or guitar. It can be a real 'time and use' induced distressing, or your own DIY cosmetic "relic" job. I will not judge the DIY finishes and would like posters to...

BEAUTY. One thing the reissues and custom shops never get right on the slap board stuff is the extraordinarily wide 12th fret markers. Unique to only the pre cbs stuff.

I has me a new project!

 

[fretno]

It’s getting all the spare parts here. A black BA and some Sadowsky knobs. And maybe this WD pg with yellow bevel. Also a set of Bart 9s.

Out of all basses I've owned, no yellow. Both pics look different - which one is more accurate?

 

[BassicJazzy]

They both have a tint of green in them. In a laser those would be around 573nm wavelength.

Canary Yellow Rays look really nice. I've seen a few of those. Especially nice with all Chrome HW.

 

[fretno]

It’s greenish. I think it was the main attraction. I believe they were going for an aged white look but nah it’s a pale yellow with a hint of green.

Ok traded my Ibanez black and maple for this MIM Vintera II body and 95' MIM neck. Has Fralin pups and Labella Flats. A close Jamerson tribute bass. Second pic, matching Latina MIM booty shakers Road worn 60's Jazz with Lollar pups and Labella flats as well. Finally got my matching P and J combo I've always wanted, and everything is genuine Fender..at least to me that's important.
