Gust0o Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I've managed to kick the wife out for the weekend, armed with one of my old credit cards and my mother for company - it's a risk; they're expensive creatures; but it buys me some quiet time. Quiet time to get some work done, at any rate. I've been tinkering with a bargain BCR ST Bass I picked up from Ebay. Some of you have been kind enough to lend advice when I've asked, and we're stripped, wired and almost ready to go... but I still have to paint the back of the neck! I'd thought this would be relatively easy, through the haze of naivety - now I'm not sure. My big question is: should I remove the fretboard for painting? I'm a little too novice to do such, with any real hope of reattachment, so it would need to go somewhere. But, I had thought I'd just be able to mask the fret board then paint the back - before finally applying clear laquer to the rear of the neck and the side of the fretboard, leaving the body of the board untouched. We've still a few days before I get into this, but any help or tips would be more than welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 mask it and paint carefully, removing the fingerboard is a huge nasty job which may end up damaging the neck if you don't get it done properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
