Wow, you've damaged the finish the exact same way Wooten would. I'd be proud of those scars, they show you've played it a lot

I certainly feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to play this bass for many years. With the exception of the special(some extraordinarily special)people in my life my bass is the most non-replaceable element, without doubt.
It's going to be re-fret time soon. I am looking forward to playing this bass with some fresh, small frets.
