Really really really, no touch up paint for the Bongos??!

[strummer]

Add more dings - call it mojo

Awesome, can we see more of that one? Did you do intentional relicing or is it worn?

 

[njhammer]

If I recall, our man stumbled across this naturally worn beauty at a local store and couldn't resist it. Who could?

To the OP, sorry for the thread hijack. My point is that something bad, like a ding or scratch, can be something wonderful. I've touched up a few with markers, but my SR5 is beautiful because of its scratches.

Don't apologize. The original poster did a threadcrap and run. He hasn't even logged on since the 23rd.

Your post is much more interesting, anyway.

You can tell by eye that the SR5 [somewheres above]
is NOT any sorta "instant relic" job. The are SO MANY
subtle goings-on of a nature that NEVER carries over
to the bogus jobs [inclusing the vaunted "Nash" jobs].

Yep, that bass was PLAYED to get that way. It's old, too.

It's old, too.

So is its current owner...

BIG fan of bass mojo!

Unfortunately the current poly finish is very unlikely to end up looking like that SR5. It's specifically designed not to, so to speak.

 

[Soulkeeper]

That's nitro? I used to have a trans red SR5 with metal battery cover, but I'm pretty sure that was poly. When did MM change from nitro to poly for the SR5?

 

[TNT]

TNT was that a jab? There are 22 to 27 coats of finish on the bass....and it is a polyester. If we sold you something it would be no better than a sharpie fix or nail polish and would not hold up questions posed like this one wont get a speedy answer....

Just got back into town!! BP, of course not, well not exactly, and certainly not at MM (as if I needed to say that).

I was simply/anxiously awaiting a "definitive" answer, just so that I could have it in my file. I already know what "substitute paint" procedures are out there, which is what the responders were helping out with. I was awaiting "the" answer, so that I could actually buy the "factory" paint if available.

 

[tkarter]

Can BP commission a Rolls Burgundy sharpie?

TNT the answer is no just as you thought.

I thought BP was just working on his line of "green" touch-up paint... We all know how hot that market is.

threadcrap....love it.

 

[kamakazee]

What about paint for the lefties?

 

[five7]

lefties know how to paint?

Why won't this thread die?

Someone otta kill this varmit.

 

[JayDawg]

Can I order custom touch up paint for the colors that EBMM doesn't offer?

 

[Soulkeeper]

I wish EBMM would make basses in common car colors. If I had a bass in the same color as my car, I could use my car's touch-up paint to fix my bass. Plus it would look great when playing while driving.
