bassbiscuits Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Right - slightly odd question but one that's been nagging me. How much of the weight of a modern poly finished bass, like a Fender etc, is the paintwork itself? I know nitro finishes are often super thin, but most poly/lacquer finishes are pretty thick. I wonder how much weight could taken off a bass by refinishing it in nitro. I'm not about to hack into mine, but it did make wonder wheather the weight difference involved would be significant...

Len_derby Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Funny you should mention this. I used my Mexican Fender jazz 5 string last night and wondered how much of its weight was due to the thick paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
