  1. Hope this is right forum..sorry if not..Schecter stiletto session 4 in excellent condition, body's been sprayed & lacquered in a matte black. Mighty fine for a rattle can & took ages to do. Small plate between pickups is there to try and reduce marks/shiny spots developing on finish whilst playing...its 2mm thick aluminium and stuck on with double sided tape. On the rear theres a plate covering the ferrule holes..when i removed them prior to paint i managed to take a couple of small splinters around the holes aswell...again its 2mm aluminium and screwed on. The bass weighs in at just over 6lb...open to offers on this as need gone. Pickup or post..Reduced £180 or trade for a good set Jazz bass pickups

  2. Brand new Sterling StingRay, bought for me just before xmas, plastic still on scratchplate/ tuners. Can't get on with neck...prefer jazz size...all specs on sterlingbymusicman.com. A John East preamp is also included and ready to fit and sealed in bag. All in Santa musta spent over a grand...maybe next year they'll listen....Could be interested in jazz part trade...i'm in Fife pick up preferred  but will post at cost or meet up...cheers

    So maybe paint finishes are safest when refinishing a guitar thats been painted with this sort of finish.

    Could be bud, as some more experienced folk say it could be sealed prior to paint or stain..i'm going for the leather dye alcohol based stuff something with a bit o bite...

  4. Fiebings dye next on the list, what i've read is its alcohol based...i'll sand it back down again & use white spirit to wash it down as Christine said, i dunno about that Crimson stain it says spirit but don't smell like it could be acrylic..anyway good luck Mr Fish hope you get some worms

  5. @Fishman what colour was bass body before you sanding down ? Reason i'm asking is the Schecter i was at had a aged satin finish...sure its a finish where waxed shellac thats had a tint added is used. It aint very durable as anchor point for thumb was wearing through and couldn't get rid of marks. I've been trying to use crimsons stains but no joy smells like nail varnish and not the meths kinda smell i was expecting anyway might get a gas axe and do some toasting. As  for ingredients to the ebony dye think you'd have to go back to 1942 with ration book and hava word with Mr Boots
