aged finish
3 decades on stage
For our aged series we have developed unique techniques and special varnishes.
These skills give our instruments a true long time used look and feel.
The very authentic looking aged series is available in three different versions.
| type of aging | description |
| 1. SOFT AGED | slightly worn, some scratches and minor damages, 10 years on stage |
| 2. HARDCORE AGED | heavily played, worn and torn surface, 30 years on stage |
| 3. HARDCORE AGED MASTERPIECE |
same as hardcore aged including aged hardware and fretboard. All MASTERPIECE build basses are getting vibration treatment to reach an authentic old school sound. |
