Hey guys,
Well, my Lakland 55-02 is heading to Chicago due to the neck issues I mentioned... In the meantime I've brought out my trusty 2001 Stingray5 fretless... It's got a very friendly feel to it...
Anyway, a few years ago a sound tech bashed the back of the bass around the tummy-cut really hard with a cutting tool.
After that the finish in that area began to "lift" and very sharp, thick and brittle chunks of finish began to embed themselves in my shirt while playing
- also it's creating a powdery residue around the chunks... Now that I've pulled it out again I wonder what the best way is to sand the stuff down and stop it from "lifting"...
The rest of the bass is in great condition - although I admit the neck has been "nude" for many years (the oil finish is long since rubbed off the back)...
Any recommendations on what to do such that I don't ruin the wood?
