What should I do?
Last updated on 8 years ago
I agree with MOO, get a professional or send it back to Status, or as advised...sell it and get a matt one!
The gloss will go right round or is the idea to do sides and back too?
Too risky IMHO.

Unless you ABSOLUTELY know what you're doing, do not attempt that on your own.
You will ruin a beautiful bass. Personally I think it looks 1,000 times better full gloss but that's a personal opinion and has little relevance.
It's a stunning old bass. You're going to struggle swapping it because you're limiting your options. I would suggest just selling it and finding something new that suits you!

The be honest, I'm not completely satisfied with the color of my SII bass. It has a Bubinga top with a high gloss finish.
I'm considering to sand it down completely and give it a matt finish It now looks like the picture below:
Hoping to make it like the one below:
What do you guy think of this? Are there risks (btw: it will be carried out by a professional luthier)
I've seen nice pics of matt bubinga and matt carbon.
I appriciate all of your opinions
