Unhappy 2008 fender Precision bass body finish repair

Sign in to disble this ad
Fellow low-enders!
It appears that the previous owner of my new Fender P had used his bass to try and anchor his motorcycle. Take a look at the photos - there is extensive scratching to the body and although it doesnt affect the sound - id like to touch it up and improve it.
Any suggestions.....?

Unfortunately those dings are too deep to touch up. That body needs a refinish.

Yup, the body has been abused. Rather disgusting.

Complete refinish is needed.
