stingraybassman Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hello people, Im after a bit of advice. I have a new 63 vintage reissue pbass, it has a beautiful thin nitro finish. I am shooting a music video outdoors on friday and obviously it might be quite cold. I have major fear that the fish might check, assuming I let the bass acclimatise for a while before i get it out, will it be ok? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG3 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Hey, yea as far as I know if you let it get used to the temperature slowly then it should be ok like you've said. I think I've heard it checks or is at risk of checking when it changes conditions pretty quickly, so example from a heated house not in a case straight out to the cold out of the case. I could be wrong so I'm sure others will be along who know more than me Have you got any pics? Sounds like a nice bass, I love nitro finishes. Good luck with the video!

BigRedX Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Checking to me says: time to get the old finish stripped off and replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
