Eek, bubble!

Post by nattiep »

The finish on the back of my bass is starting to bubble in one spot.. well actually the bubble has been there since I got it over three years ago, but it's bigger now. So.. uh.. what do I do about it?

I hate to "burst your bubble", but I have no idea!


I know, cheap joke........

"So.. uh.. what do I do about it?"

You can start with more information...how big is it, where's it located? Pictures would help, too.

Yes, the doctor cannot give the correct diagnosis unless he knows all the symptoms.

Nate, I recommend posting this in The Vibrola section, which is where it will be seen by the resident luthiers. Oh, and include pictures, too!

I'll take pics tomorrow.. my camera sucks without natural lighting.

The bubble isn't very big.. maybe the size of a dime. It's located on the back of my bass next to all the buckle rash.
