I've been using a Brandoni acoustic bass with my band recently and am really pleased with it. However, I'd quit like the wood on top to be darker than it currently is. Does anyone know of a simple way to darken the top? I'm guessing some kind of wood stain might be easiest. Thanks.

Football is rubbish.
depending on the shade, you can just leave it in the sun for a bit to darken the wood and lacquer. If you want it properly dark you will need to spray some lacquer. A nice tobacco tint would look great on that
Wood stain won't work without stripping the top first

This is my OM home built next to the dreadnought I built for our band's vocalist. Same wood bought at the same time from the same plank and finished in exactly the same way. Only difference is that the OM on the left was two years old and the dreadnought had just been finished when I took this photo:
Of course, it does depend on how old the Brandoni is to start off with....
