paul h Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I am in the process of putting together a parts bass with my radioactive orange SX P neck. I am not overly concerned about the David Dickinson finish but I guess while it's in bits I could try to do something about it. I don't want to take the finish off completely as I am too lazy but I wondered if bleaching it would work at all? Any thoughts? Paul.

ezbass Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I don't think that'll work, but you could try a small area just to see. You could tone it down by using a very fine grade of wire wool for a more satin look (and feel). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I don't think bleach will touch it because the orange dye is under a coat of laquer. I sanded my SX neck down to the wood and then just put a coat of clear laquer on top of the natural wood. It looks much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
