Touching in scratches

[Ken Smith]

I'm confused. First you mentions a Hawkes bass and then you show a Czech plywood bass.

Is this the same bass both a B&H and a modern laminated bass?

There are touch-up sticks in dozens of colors available from Art Supply sellers but, you need to match up that shiny finish. It might be a lacquer or even a urethane of sorts. This is a factory sprayed finish from the looks of it so perfectly matching it up is not possible without a re-finish. Ask a local luthier what supplies are available there for a bass with this type of finish.

Can we see the entire bass? Just curious what a modern bass by that company would look like. I have seen them from the older Hawkes & Son but they were +/- 100 years old.
