    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.

    15:15 ...this bridge is definitely an aftermarket, 3rd-party replacement, and not your stock 70s Fender part (brass sadles, hex screws, dark springs & intonation screws). Same with the brass nut.
    Otherwise a great job, and I love your attention to detail. A true labor of love!

    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.

      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
      @texasviking1 2 роки тому

      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.

      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.
