Anyone have a ballpark figure on what a nitro re-fin of a 50's Precision would run? I mean professionally.

Warning - don't do it unless the bass has already been refinished.

Removing or finishing over an original 50s finish will knock several thousand dollars off the value of a 50's P. Better to buy a new P.
