41Hz Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Thinking about picking up an SR1300 with the ash natural flat finish. Just wondering how durable these are compared to a shiny poly finish? Will it pick up finger prints, get shiny patches or develop beer stains? Anyone have one of these or the similar SR600 who can shed some light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, “flat”, “satin” or “matte” finishes tend to show up scratches/marks/dings a little easier, depending on the colour of said finish. However, as the bass you’re referring to has a natural wood grain, the random busy nature of the grain will mask a lot. Shiny patches are pretty much an inevitability though depending on your playing position. I wouldn’t worry about it really. All my basses have satin finishes - I much prefer them.
