Richard Jinman Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 It’s probably a decent buy at £190.... if you can live with the look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paint stripper ran so he painted a white stripe around the edge to mask it. Presumably with a tree branch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Jinman Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 People accuse Yamaha basses of being a bit generic.... this one not so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Possibly less the perils of paint stripper and more the horrendous job it is to remove those think poly finishes! All those nasty relic jobs on cheap Fender / Fender copies, a complete nightmare to sort out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Ran out of paint & had to resort to chalk for the stripe. Happens to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Chalk? Nah mate, reckon that's Tippex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I do quite like the look, if it were better executed. To be fair he was trying to repair a problem rather just thinking this'll look cool, he just ran out of f**ks half way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
