I posted this in the setup/repair forum but i'm thinking this forum may be more appropriate.
Recently got my hands on a Modulus Q5, and while I love the bass, it's got some aesthetic flaws. I'll probably replace (or replate) the bridge. The front and the rest of the bass is basically flawless, but the back has several dings/scratches on it. They're not just surface scratches, as my fingernail can feel the ridges of the scratches.
Out of curiosity, would there be any way to refinish only the back of the bass? The front of the bass is trans black and the side and back is black. I'm not exactly sure if its feasible since the finish is poly and not nitro.
Can any luthiers chime in?
