Age Sonic Blue to Surf Green?

If I were to purchase a Squier Classic Vibe 60s P-Bass in Sonic Blue with the idea of artificially accelerating the aging process so it would turn into Surf Green? I realize it's not a nitrocellulose lacquer on that bass, but would that happen naturally over time and what could be done to hasten the process?

UV light?

Ummmm. A UV lightbulb is the main way.

They have them for plants, fishtanks, etc.

Buy it a membership at the tanning salon.

I was actually wondering if that might be worthwhile. Are we being serious here, or is this some good ol' TB snark?

I was kidding .... to a point. I think it probably would have some effect & I'd be the type to try it. People induce checking in finishes using "super-cooling" aerosols, kind of in the same vein.

Maybe a one-month trial membership?

You would have to spray it with amber tinted nitro because I don't think the polyester is ever gonna do what you want it to.
