Tee Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) A month or so ago i acquired a knock on the upper horn of my P bass (not done by me as far i know). Anyway, paint has come off and exposed the wood and there are some fine paint cracks around the area. It's all pretty small really. One might say it's taken its first step to 'Relicdom.' ^_^ I was thinking however, in order to prevent any further spread of the paint chipping/coming off, that i might sand down the immediate area to smooth it off. I was thinking an ultra-fine sand paper? Has anyone got any pointers/advice? A quick pick with my phone, as my camera is out of juice.

crez5150 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yeah I agree..... as the song goes....'the first cut is the deepest'...... you'll not worry so much after the 3rd or 4th..... I don't trust anyone who has an immaculate instrument.... I don't see them as pro players! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other guitar, people expect them to be as-new when they're second hand, whereas Fenders almost have to come with a few dents and dings. I guess that comes from them being thought of as "vintage". In short - dent it up a bit more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
