TheGreek Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Really need to get those nails cut.... Quote
GreeneKing Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 That's what happens when you try to lacquer over an oiled finish Taking it back to original would be the only way methinks. Quote

[/quote] Me too. He recons £400 to strip it and refinish it? I'd be happy to do it for half of that. But his price is a bit optimistic I would have said. Quote

If it had been nice condition okay but who knows what horrors might lie beneath that finish. A project bass and should be cheaper. Quote
warwickhunt Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Must be about the 5th or 6th sunburst from that period that I've seen with that blistered/knackered finish... if you find one undamaged, don't tap the finish too hard! Quote
Pedro1020 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Seeing as I've been looking for a 5 string SSI, I thought I'd contact the guy.. although in it's current condition I'm not interested in it. Nice chap, however I'd be careful with this one. It appears whoever did the refinish sanded away the serial number. Usually for this period it's located behind the headstock between the tuners. Originally it was honey violin. Surely that's affected the resale value? Quote
Trueno Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 I think I'll just stick to waxing me Thumb. I did once think about laquering it up.... naaahhh! Quote
funkyjimbob Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 I know the owner of the bass and I'm pretty sure he bought it in this condition. He's a nice chap though and completely legit. I think I suggested to him to get it refinished and I think he's considering it now. Quote
