The above is the body of my project, a two pickup, sunburst Mark bass. It's got plenty of finish cracks, nicks and dings, a few wrong holes drilled and some icky and badly touched up gouges. This project is a recreation of the bass I used in my first band in 1976.

I used it through my first 3 bands, trading it for an acoustic 12 string after the neck cracked.

I don't much care about vintage originality, as I never plan to sell this bass, so what I really wanna know is. . .is it cheaper to have the existing finish touched up, or have the body stripped and refinished in 3 tone sunburst?
I also live in the SF Bay Area, and know of only one place the work could be done. Input, advice and pricing info would be greatly appreciated.

I've noticed that my clickable links don't seem to work, and I have no idea why. . . .nor do I know how to post pics here. Dang these new-fangled contraptions!!!!

i realize that I'm a bit late replying to this thread but there is a guy named Pat Wilkins who does amazing restoration and refinishing work. He could bring your bass back to looking new without the thick finish that was prone to cracking. I have 2 Mosrite basses, a 1965 Ventures that had what I believe is an automotive paint finish and a later 60's bass that had the thick clearcoat finish over sunburst. My sunburst bass has cracks all over the finish.
