Question for anyone that knows this kind of stuff...

The new '08/'09 basses have a new thin poly finish. It sure dents easily but will it wear off like the old nitro finishes did? You know, where your arm rubs it and where you plant your right hand. I got small dents in mine from just having it rest against the buttons on my shirt when I sit down and play. Never had that with the old thick poly. Is this new poly softer or is it just so thin that the wood gets dented easier?

i dont know about the wear, but for my finish to crack a tiny little bit, it took a hell of a hit from the tip of my lead (accidental of course), and even then there was only a little ding. i do hope that it does wear like the old nitro finishes, that would be awesome! :D

I'm hardly a finish expert, but it's only the undercoat that's thinner, not the outer finish, so I don't think it will wear away like nitro finishes. The outside is a satin Urethan finish, which is quite different than nitro finishes.
