That's nice! What is it?

 

[Debased]

Beautiful lines on that R-Bass - looks very comfortable.

I love a nice slippery satin finish too. It's the 'all-weather' finish that doesn't gum-up on those sweaty gigs . Here's mine:

 

[DerHoggz]

How would you do a satin finish like that all weather one mentioned above?

 

[sarnz]

i hope this counts as satin - my very pretty hwy 1 jazz - (which is for sale!!!)

i love what the sun does to the color

 

[Mark Wilson]

I'm such a sucker for satin finish!!!

ESPECIALLY when they start wearing down!
MY GOD.

Unfortunately, my basses all have a poly finish that could stop a bullet.

I really like the smooth feel and easy care of this fretless. Even after 7 years, it still looks new.

 

[ironrat]

Thanks, it's an Rbass

where you bought it? who made it?

 

[precision punk]

Hi. How are the finishes on your basses holding up?

I bought an SR750 no less than a few months ago and I have already begun scraping off some of the satin finish from the back of the bass. A couple spots are already down to bare wood. If I so choose I can make an indent with my fingernail. I'm thinking it will look "relic'd" within a few years of steady gigging.

The Cirrus should be an oil finish.

Oil finished basses are more than welcome to this Suave Thread.

Gotcha. I wasn't hatin' or anything, just figured "satin" applied to the various poly finishes that weren't buffed to the glassy feel.

May I ask what the AS stands for?

You are right technically, I've owned both finished style basses and if you finally got a pro-results like my DB with an Antiqued varnished finish, you will get a smooth finish anyway.

*post your Cirrus if you want to.
