Materials:

This old Fender Music Master Bass was resurrected by Kip Scarlett. I'll let Kip explain the work he did on the bass,

"I removed the purple RustOlium and severed black pickguard

I stripped and sealed it with Behlen's sand and sealer.    Painted a base
coat of white nitro cellulose to create a canvas for the color.   Used 2 cans
of color and blush remover when need (often in Florida).   Then  2 cans of
clear on the body.

The NECK:    I sanded the edges that were chipped and unsightly.   I sanded
the face down making sure I didn't hit the logo in anyway.   Then re-colored
the sanded bare areas with Guitar ReRanch Fender Neck color  (which was a
perfect match!).   I did this with a brush lightly dipping it in some color
sprayed in a cup then drawing from that.

Then about 10 light coat of clear over 3 days on the head only.   That
created a very natural un-refinished look.   Now though, it looks like it is
just in really new condition.

OTHER STUFF:   New screws (important for a new look), new handmade pickguard,
new knobs, new jack imput,  new frets (since the old ones were ripped out and
not replaced)  new nut, new strap buttons."

A great job as usual, Kip!
