1983 Squier P-Bass Restoration: Fixing the Ski Jump and More!
Join me, Pimpmeister, as I take you through the restoration of a 1983 Squier Precision Bass from the legendary first series made in Japan! This vintage beauty, inspired by the iconic 1957 P-Bass, had its fair share of issues:
Ground noise from removed shielding
Crackling electronics
Unbalanced pickup response
A troublesome ski jump in the neck
High action and worn frets
Watch as I solve these problems, upgrade the pickups and electronics, fix the neck, and bring this bass back to life. With new Kloppmann pickups, Richter electronics, fresh frets, and Pyramid FusionFlats Strings, this bass now plays and sounds better than ever.
