Musicman008 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 So I have the opportunity to buy a Viola Bass at a big discount to current value. The only catch that I can tell is this mystery black line on the top of the body. Any bass experts out there seen something like this before? What is it? How much to repair? gifs upload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorod Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I guess that you are talking about that slim S-line running under and above of the control plate???? It would not bother me in the least, compared to the rest of the guitar. But Then....I am no bass expert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie chitlin Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 That's the finish. Probably started with tightening that screw on the control plate. Plastic (polyester is likely in this case) molecules tend to line up in long, orderly lines...so they crack that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
