Ripthorn Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hi everyone, on my current build I am taking the neck from a past bass. I am going to ultimately add ears and a front veneer and backstrap. In order to do so, I need to remove this ugly veneer/overlay stuff. I was thinking of using either a hairdryer or an iron on low with a cloth over it to loosen any kind of glue and then using a thin metal blade or something to peel it up. Anyone done this before? It's thin stuff, but I don't want to try to sand it or anything. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psw Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 By the look of the spray in the tuner holes...it would appear to simply be black paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Man43 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Agreed, that is just black paint. Btw am I mistaken or is that an Ibanez iceman bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripthorn Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Don't know why I didn't see that, it does appear to be paint with a nice coat of nitro over it. Any ideas on removing the nitro besides just sanding or is that my only option? This is definitely not an Ibanez, it is a cheap generic bass (the headstock just comes to a pretty ugly point). Thanks for your help guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
