Question Grancino?

Show it.. Whose bass is that? Why was a Grancino re-painted? That is criminal. An original finish on a bass should never be stripped unless it's already been done before and needs to be done again properly. Basses should be touched up, blended or feathered in with original looking textured varnish and then at most clear coated or french polished. Stripping and re-finishing is for automobiles, not Basses or Violins.

Taking off the original Varnish depending on the instrument can knock the re-sale value down by 20-40% on any gived day!
