well i got brave! (read bored!!!) and curious so i thought i'd investigate a tiny area on the back!!! Looks like the green finish 'may' be still under the black afterall! fingers crossed [attachment=105363:IMGP0015.JPG]

'It's a warwick' !!???? really!!!! surely he means an Aria STD with the logo sanded off and replaced with an 'apt' alternative!!! bless

just acquired a nice washburn status, and its had a re-paint at somepoint in black - not the best job but not horific. Anyhow, on the lower part of the body theres some natural wear on the black and beneath there's a faint sign of green!! I know these basses were available in a green clear finish, so i'm wondering if when it was painted whoever did it simply sprayed on top of the original finish!? Is that possible?? if so hows the best wat to try and remove the black without damaging what finish may lie beneath?? Ive been following the other thread on here about the washburn status refinish and i would like to have a go at mine, but if its still got he original green finish underneath i'd love to keep that! any suggestions/help greatly received!

Its a warwick fortress one, it was my first proper expensive bass wen i bought it new in 94. The neck is the best neck ive ever played, fits like a glove and sounds awesome. Oh and my missus took a pic of it to the cake makers and got a model of it made and put beside the 'groom' on our wedding cake... How cool!!!

My first bass was a marlin sidewinder so def never goin back to that! My first 'proper' bass was a yamaha rbx870a sold it to a mate for £100 back in '94 then went straight to soundslive and bought a brand new warwick fortress one! Its been my main bass ever since and i'll be buried with it!

I use picato flats, cheapish and nice sounding too

Lookin good so far, i'm watchin this carefuly as i fancy doing mine now!

i'd be interested

jammy git!!!
