I just got a used non graphite Status Energy 5. It's been modded with an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp. Should I do anything to protect the finish where the clear coat has been worn off? It's a thin satin poly finish. {} {} The bass is really easy to play. A bit on the heavy side though
Handsome bass! My favourite bass is a Status Energy 4 string with a graphite neck. (In my avatar) The body (mine's walnut: is yours the same?) is in much worse condition than yours : you could experiment with beeswax or a light oil, which would do no harm I think.
Good Catch, congrats! I had an Energy 5string, it was my only bass for 11 years straight until 2005. Great instrument. Heck, I even chose my screen name after that bass. The body ist swamp ash. I'd Just leave the finish as is if I were you. It tells a story.
