there is a scratch on one of my basses that's about 1cm long and .5cm across. Is there any way to to repaint that one small scratch without (1) repainting the entire bass and (2) knowing what the name of the color is.

Why not take it to a luthier and see what he/she says? |

if it's a less expensive bass, and you are up for the challenge, go to the guitar reranch site, and you can get tips on how to repair scratches and other minor stuff. It involves the right paint, lots of sandpaper, and lots of drying time...
best of luck!

The bass is a TRB6 with a burst finish. I'm not sure what you would call the burst but it goes from orange to red, in to out. I'll get some pics up tomorow to show you guys.
