dazzajl Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hello Folks, Been pointed in this direction by someone here, from a photo forum. I used to play bass in a past life and these days I just play at it. I've just started a rebuild on the most manky and unloved jazz bass I've ever met. So far It's just been about removing some rusted hardware and sanding though may coats of nasty paint. Oddly, as I go down, each one nicer than the one that covered it. Also I'll be letting go of my Tacoma fretless beastie to make some room. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skankdelvar Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi dazzajl and welcome Ah the joys of restoration - you'll probably be able to date the refinishes by 'era' as you descend. At some point, you'll probably come across an incredibly rare factory finish - e.g. Paisley. If this happens, don't worry - we'll all be here for you with a nice cup of tea and some painkillers.

dazzajl Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks for the welcomes all. Luckily there were no tears on the way down to the wood. The very last layer was really lovely though. A very nice and subtle blonde lacquer with just a little wood showing through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
