Yellowing on bass

Post by Lemmy4ever »

There's a 4004cii Bluebloy I'm looking at buying, which looks to be in pretty great condition. The finish has a bit of yellowing, which I don't mind. Can I expect this to get worse over time?

From the early 2000's? Hard to say. Some people actually like the Mint Boys though.

Blueboy (BB): RIC's color of the year (COY) in 2004-05.

I had a cii that was greening up, an issue with the varnish IIRC.

I kinda liked it. For those that don't, I think there's a remedy to remove the greening.

GLWTP. :mrgreen:
