Restore

Sorry for going on about this but you never answered one of my questions.
If I don't have the ambition to make the re-finish looking pro. done, what could I do after cleaning and sanding the area a bit to give it somewhere near the look of the rest of the bass? Could you sell me something that could help me get a nicer look on it?

By Law, we cannot sell or ship our finish mixes. You will have to buy some oil/varnish stuff on your own. This is our formula we worked on for years. We don't give it out, sorry.

So, Jens, what will you end up doing with the finish on this bass? Have you decided?

Ended up cleaning it from the grease, sandpapered a little at some places, polished it with steel wool and last I rubbed it with some Smith-waxpolish I use for my BSR6GN and fretboards. Not as recomended but happy with the result.

Before:


After:


Evened out the colours a bit. Far from good but I'm satisfied. Can't tell from a distance any more. The bad camera makes it look purple.

Looks better and as long as you are happy with it that's all that matters.

Yeah. Hard to do anything about them deep cuts though but i were only looking for a little improvement...
