Re: Old strings
For the relic vibe without the wait, just soak new strings in bleach!

Re: Old strings
Definitely a guitar. 40 year old bass strings would be just reaching their peak.

Re: Old strings
Quite satisfying this work (cleaned, polished frets and cleaned and oiled fretboard)

Re: Old strings
I thought he was having me on cause the Supreme doesn't have dot inlays and is at least two decades too young to wear four decades old strings
