Recommended Posts

I have an old Fender Squire bass which is chipped and a horrible colour. Was looking at getting it sprayed in sunburst. Could someone point me in the direction of somewhere I could send the body too to get sprayed? Even a rough price would be great. I don't want to sell the bass ;-(

Sims custom have a good reputation, tho' suspect they're not the cheapest: [url="http://www.simscustom.com/html/home.htm"]http://www.simscusto...m/html/home.htm[/url]

Should give you an idea of cost though.

+1 Sims are excellent. £250-300 is about right.

Bear in mind that if you bass was originally finished in a solid colour, the wood (and how the pieces that make up the body are joined) might not be attractive enough to stand being visible through a sunburst finish.

That would be my concern too!

As for refinishing, should you go that route, I can't speak highly enough of David Wilson:

Contact him, great guy, superb job, and not as expensive as some of the others although you would never know looking at the results!

Dave Wilson is a true expert when it comes to re-finishing, if the body wood isn't nice enough then you could consider a thin veneer over the top and bottom, the burst at the edges would cover the join, this would add to the cost though, a home refinish in a solid colour would be much cheaper.

if you really want sunburst then the suggestions of buying another bass are a great option.
