Anyway I'll definitely study first before touching the bass with a brush /I'm in no hurry .
Out of interest what finish would you use if you had the choice ? |
First off, I would like to see the bass and make sure it's French as you claim.
Then, Arnold has had many of these thru his shop. If your bass is French, ask him what type of Varnish is usual on them, Spirit or Oil. French polish is usually not considered a finish but has been used including on furniture. He is currently working on my Jacquet and touching it up. He would be able to guide you much better than I can.
