So many players fail to realize that I’d say a good 80% of all problems can be cured by a real good setup. I’d say, knowing how setup and intonate your own instrument is a really valuable skill, especially after you’ve been playing long enough to understand what exactly you like and don’t like, as everyone’s preferences are different.

Nice restoration job,quite clean. To my opinion,a lot of people,who want to buy such an instrument,in restored condition,start doubting its originality .They expect worn and a kind of fly rusty conditions to such aged basses. I had a 1978 Fender Jazzbas de Luxe, original and in pretty good condition, especially the neck,which was stamped by its builder "R.Friend".So i'm curious who stamped this neck,which isn't shown in this video.

I have a '65 Jazz bass, LP Blue (looks green) on the body & headstock. It has corrosion on pretty much every part. The metal piece that holds the knobs has cracks in the plating and the bridge is downright rusty. But I wouldn't want to touch any of the metal parts.

Pat, I have 79 P bass that I bought new in 1980, and i put on a Badass bridge on with EMG P/J pickups and I don't regret it because it sounds killer and was and still is a working bass. If I had the same bass now in original condition I wouldn't touch for resale value.

This is the part I wondered about too. I'm not familiar with vintage fenders, so I don't know, but I'm wondering if this was a body that was made before the micro-tilt was born? I thought to myself.
@texasviking1 2 жыл бұрын
Most likely the regular 4 hole plate was put on because they’re more stable. Often the neck may sway one way or the other because in reality there’s only two screws holding the neck in place on the three hole versions. The four screw version holds the neck nice and solid.

Looks like the file has a safe edge, but I’d still use tape or a fret protector just in case

I think he should have protected the edge of the fingerboard with tape, it doesn't matter if the file is smooth on its edges or not.

@Andybassguitar 4 жыл бұрын
I think it's best to use a file to sharpen it. If you put tape on the fingerboard to protect the fretboard, the thickness of the tape will not chip the frets. It is not protected by tape, such as I would recommend that you use tape for protection.

It's a mechanism for quickly tuning the E string down to D by flicking the lever. It's not a stock feature for this model, so the client probably asked for it to be removed.

@pneumatic00 4 жыл бұрын
One of the holes, the hole next to the middle hole on the plate, is where you stick the allen key to adjust the neck tilt on 3-bolt necks. You slightly loosen the center neck bolt and *barely* loosen the corner neck bolts, stick in the allen key, and twist. At :51 you can see the word "adjust" stamped into the perimeter of the neck plate. Better pix: www.amplifiedparts.com/products/neck-plate-fender-chrome-3-bolt-70s-f-style

Эта гитара напомнила мне мою молодость, когда работал в ресторане , поэтому и захотелось написать комментарий , хотя понимаю , что ты его не прочитаешь . Вряд ли ты владеешь русским языком. Отреставрировал ты её великолепно , нет слов. Хотелось бы такую гитару в руках подержать ...... прикоснуться к настоящему исскуству . Мастер ты хороший , а вот слэпом играть не умеешь ! Для тебя это не важно , ты хороший реставратор ! Удачи тебе и учи русский язык -- пригодится !
