And that was what it looked like BEFORE it left the factory.

Actually I once left a very old german viola next to a spot lamp and the the finish bubbled in a small circle where the lamp was most concentrated. These things are not fixable so you have to just go with it I guess.

Well... to avoid this problem, next time, you could either adjust your strap to "geek level" and play your bass waist high, or you can adjust it almost down to your knees so you can look badass but risk the occasional carpal tunnels.

I know how you feel. The first few times I hit my bass against a blunt object by accident, I almost nearly cried. But you know, but these little mishaps makes your bass yours, so you're going to have to just live with it.

Or he could just play naked........um....nevermind...

I just NEVER wear anything that could damage the back of a bass. You know, no big belt buckles, shirt always left out over any belts or buttons and at home I am always in shorts, jammies or sweat pants...

Same. I never tuck in my shirt, so it covers my belt (which doesn't have a big belt buckle anyway) and the rivets on my jeans.

For times when I have to dress up, I'm not wearing anything that would scratch the bass anyway and sometimes rotate my belt so that the metal bit is on the side.

It is better to have scratched and lost than never to have scratched at all
