Why would he spend all that time aging HALF of a bass guitar body?
-
@bigtimv thats why its his signature bass...

Guess the guy at the ending plays bass by himself for slappin' that bass so hardly

Many artists go for the whole "aged" look. It's like when we go out and buy stone washed or torn jeans or T-shirts that look tattered. I don't think it's much different. It's just a preference. And, I don't think these artists want to appear as though they've "toured the world" or they're "lying" to an audience. At this level of musicianship, does it really matter what they can afford themselves? I'd LOVE to have this "lying, non-touring-the world" guy in MY band! :)

A piece of wood, no color, no strings, no hardware, sanded and pristine.......it holds so much hope and beauty! Ready for part 3 and of course the baptism.

@frickinbejesus No. They have to make other basses too.

I dont get whats deal about faking battle worn guitars/basses, its just a big lie to yourself and the audience(or the any one looking at it) that this bass has been tossed around alot on tour all over the country the last 30 years or whatever. every scar/wound have a story etc
but i may support the idea about making the wood older than it really is...

@dytakeda and of course spares you back, down the road :)

-So what do you do for a living?
-I bang bits of wood and sand them down.

Lighter bodies resonate more, which means more harmonics, which means richer tone.
I don't really like that whole aging thing. I just feel like your instrument should earn those dings and scratches.
