Owen Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Now we are talking! I polished mine up from years of grime with Chrome polish and a buffing wheel on my drill. I realise this is unorthodox, but it brought it up lovely! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediocre Polymath Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Hello. I've just stumbled across this thread and I'm intrigued. Any updates? I found myself in almost exactly the same situation with a perhaps even more battered old bass a few years ago, and managed to get it back into playable condition – I could probably provide some tips that would be helpful (and that would probably strike fear and dismay into a serious DB luthier). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
