How much would this cost to repair

[ash2008]

I'm afraid i can't take any photos at the moment but its similar to the top one here:

its only the paintwork that has been chipped off, the wood has remained ok.

Is it jus a case of re-painting or will i need to take it to an expert?

Any ideas how much this costs to fix?

Leave it, it's relic'd!

Whack it one eBay for £2,000 more than it's worth!

True, I have got over it and rather like it now.

But this guy I know did it and he says he'll pay for it to be fixed but i have no idea how much to ask for.

An invisible repair on a modern finish is tricky. Although the old nitrocellulose is evil stuff, just about invisible repairs can be done, by the best guys.
Unless the bass is worth a lot, I'd say leave it. As to what your man should pay, tell him it's essentially unrepairable and ask him for thirty quid in reparation, or whatever figure strikes you as fair...
