xgsjx Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Do what I did. Chip all the paint off of it & oil the wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 You can do a [url="http://www.reranch.com/101.htm#spot%20repair"]spot repair[/url] on a small chip, but like everyone else I personally wouldn't bother. Keeping a working bass blemish free is near impossible, and you're just setting yourself up for more anguish with the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Another fo the nail varnish route, to keep the wood protected, but other than that, wear the wear with pride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBob09 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Wrap your bass in cotton wool and don't play it again. This is the only sure fire way of keeping your bass pristine. I'm in the "workhorse" camp - And you'll find no bigger, sturdier workhorse than a Stingray. Get over your ding, go out, gig it. If you ding it again, that kinda stuff happens. But hey, at least it shows you've used it and it works for you rather than it's hung on your wall as an attractive ornament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lettsguitars Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Again, this is the problem with poly finishes. It is a hard plastic coat which if knocked hard enough will crack and chip. Nitro is much more forgiving and is the easiest thing in the world to fix up. Nail varnish is nitrocellulose and works on nitro finishes fixes, not polyurethane. Super glue would do a better job of sticking the surrounding area together as nail varnish is a flexible material and much weaker than the plaggy stuff but as has been said, best left alone really.
