Clarky72 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So I have this natural stained bass (left), it looks ok, but i'd love it to look like this stained finish (right). Does anyone know a company capable of refinishing and or staining to do this for me? Thanks in advance 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cribbin Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Personally I'd forget about staining it. Problem is, stain needs to soak into bare wood. To do that every bit of the existing finish / sealer has to be removed, otherwise you end up with a patchy / spotty finish where the stain has failed to penetrate in some areas. Ask me how I know that .... If you really need to change the colour, a respray over the top is probably the only realistic solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky72 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Yeah I thought I;'d deleted this post though as I thought it should be in the repair/technical section instead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, its gorgeous, but I've always wanted the other finish and with Peavey Custom Shop closed, and the only Cirrus production now being the Indonesian ones I have no option, even a guy at Peavey suggested finding a local luthier to sort it.

Guest Marcoelwray Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I can do this, but for now, unfortunately I don't do gloss finishes... Can't correctly varnish anything without a good tempered room and with an antidust system... But stain ok, refin too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
