[quote name='MacDaddy' post='1267522' date='Jun 13 2011, 04:44 PM']years ago there was a Yellow Pages advert, in which a French Polisher[size=1]*[/size] was called to deal with a nasty scratch on a table.

If you have a spare bit of cash it might be worth giving one a call?

I'm a french polisher (no euphemism)
French polish (shellac, made by beetles) dinks can be made to look like new, as the new shellac and solvents bond with the existing shellac. Your bass will have a modern finish where this won't be doable. I'd follow Mr Foxen's advice, an iron is fine, but this will only work if the wood fibres have been compressed (ie a dent) rather than chipped.

Yup, that's what JayDee told me, mine is one that I have to live with.
