Hi,

I know of belt buckle rash on the back of a bass and cigarette burns on the head stock, but are there anymore classic markings of a vintage/relic bass? If so, what's there meaning/causes?

Thanks!

1) if your strap comes loose and the guitar hits the concrete floor, you can get a pretty nice "bruise" on the bottom edge.

2) when you bang your neck on the drummer's cymbals, you get dings on the edges of the headstock and neck.

Cool! I'm noticing the marks you mentioned on my Roadworn!! Great to see there is a rhythm and reason for the relic marks.

Thx!

My old 1981 Tele has 'teeth marks' on the body where the case lid fell closed before it was fully in the case. This happened several times....and the case I had was orginal and had a centre clasp with a 'tooth' in the top section. I used to get some black nail varnish to cover the dings....this was well before 'relic' was in vogue. :(
