this seems like buying jeans with holes ripped in them. what the fuck? play the thing long enough and any guitar will look like that...

1540.00 shipped, and yes, the fret wear was somewhat of an issue for me too. A little overdone, but acceptable.JesseJames wrote:how much is he wanting you to bench press for it? Although I will say from those pics that fretboard looks VERY fakely worn.
Ahhh... well it's your money bro, you can do whatever you want with it. It's certainly no SX, but I guess you will have to make due.PABassPlayer wrote:Rocket Fire, like other relic companies ie: Nash or Relic Deluxe products hold their value quite well. My guitar player who turned me onto the "relic world" had a Nash Telecaster paid $1800.00 for it and flipped 3 years later for $2100.00. While they don't appreciate (like a real one) they do seem to hold their value.

P.S. ebay is a bad guage for this type of product, you usually find these on collector forums (where this one was found)

I'm not terribly big into the whole Relic thing. I certainly think they look cool but I'd never buy one mostly because I'm always going in the "newer, modern" direction with music gear.PABassPlayer wrote:
Fender has been making the P & J basses since 1951.
I'm going to try something different Motorhead, rather than criticize, I will attempt to educate. Here is the history of the Fender Precision (or "P") bass.

As far as why you would want "the relic" look...it's just a look or "charactor" that shows the nostalgic look of what most '59's would look like now. My other options would be play my current P basses for 20 years untill they wear like that or buy a '59 for between 15K to 60K, and while I make a decent living, I'm not willing to shell out that kind of $$$.
I own 4 pristine fender bases (2 p's and 2 j's) and now I want to add a relic to the collection.
I am curious to what Pfloyds opinion is on this. Btw, Pfloyd, thanks for the advice, I am playing the song to a "T" now.
Playing the notes is only 1/3 of of it, try timing and feel.
