rizzo9247 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I think this road worn thing has gone a bit too far... Fender Roadworn Distressed Leather Strap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Maybe I should sell old strings and picks as "roadworn strings" and "roadworn picks". How about "roadworn cables", guaranteed to short out in the middle of show, just like in the old days. "roadworn speakers" with holes in them. "roadworn microphones" with dented covers. The possibilities are endless. I remember once someone was selling Jaco's bass strap on eBay for some ungodly price. Free download of my cd!.

b5pilot Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 What? Oh you gotta be f'ing kidding me! I have enough sweat stained straps laying aroung. I don't need to go and buy them. Sheesh!

SteveC Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Yeah, that is a little much. I still say the RW Jazz I played was one of the best sounding passive "jazz" basses I have played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davio Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Does it come with the strap holes already "warbed out"? (thanks Flank) I like the idea of Fender Roadworn Toilet Paper. Then everybody could express their oppinions about the Roadworn line in their own unique way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamy ALB Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I really do think this whole roadworn nonsense and recreating certain artist models as they have damaged them is the most absurd waste of time, effort & money. It is just mad!! Here buy the pre-beaten guitar for that piece of crap look!! It is madness!! You should buy brand new and wear it down to suit you over time, make the dings and dents your own! http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Little-Bitter/185235472447 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basshappi Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Yes, I have never understood the whole "reliced" fad Playing a beat-up guitar won't make you a better musician.

1111000 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Yes, I have never understood the whole "reliced" fad. A guy on another forum explained it really well once, or so I thought. He said it was a way Fender could begin capitalizing on the collective disgust some people felt about the period when CBS took over, which was when pre-CBS vintage instruments really came en vogue. Somehow for lots of these customers, buying a new relic was better than buying an instrument made in the CBS period, even though that CBS instrument probably has more vintage mojo...

anderz Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 My opinion: Buy a plain red Ernie Ball strap and you're good to go for a couple years. That road worn strap doesn't make any sense.

Mike19 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I have a case for a 1959 P Bass (the bass was stolen from me in 1964). The case is in less than fair condition. I wonder how much I could sell it for. "99 And 1/2 Just Won't Do" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BargeOn Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 It will all make sense one day my children. Davo And so it does. You can't, you just can't, play a beat up bass, especially one that has been specially designed to look beat up, (maybe to match your jeans?) and then attach a shiny new strap to it. People notice. They'll say things. Here, drink this Kool-aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butcherNburn Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 If the Road Worn series becomes a long term line I foresee a Pre-Road Worn line to follow. I feel guilty to admit I like the idea of a leather strap that's already worn-in a bit, for comfort reasons only. I think one of the companies (Ibanez?) had a Road Rash guitar a few years back. Let's have them sue Fender for and take part of the proceeds and spend it on Fender Basses. If you think my playing is bad, you should hear me sing!

Rocky It will pick up when the Road Worn fad is over, and people realize that having equipment that looks beat to shit doesn't impress bar crowds as much as having equipment that is sleek and shiny and new.
