I'm just wondering here if Warwick would make a special burned finish on a bass if requested ? I think burned ash corvette would look stunning 8:

OMGWTF BBQ! that's awesome!
I have seen a similar effect with sandblasted ash that then has colour applied then lightly sanded off.....but charred bass under a satin finish LE DREWL.
 
What's the cheapest wick you can get with an ash body? any rock basses? could be a nice home refinish job for someone with patience and a blowtorch. (ie not me, as I have little patience an amnot allowed near blowtorches for the safety of m self and those around me)
 
O.K., I tried it yesterday at first with a non-Warwick bass. I'm not that happy with the result.

Lol that's not what I meant by ash :D
 
Haha!

But seriously, you can take any used ash corvette and convert it to the "burnt" look pretty easy.
 
I would be worries about applying that line of heat to it to get the finish and warping the wood
 
I'm pretty sure that Ritter wasn't torched but stained and then sanded. I've used the torch method on Ash a few times... and on bass cabs too (made of marine-grade plywood) with good results. No real way to harm the wood as you only need a few seconds of exposure to make the grain black, not enough to warp the blank.
 
So I got a new to me used Corvette $$5 NT. Needs to be refinished BADLY. Kinda wanting to try this!
 
Yeah by all means make your instrument look like furniture. ;)
