Using a safety pin, slide the pin through the screw holes on the plastic cover and pry the cover up. When the cover is off sand the edges wherevever it is binding in the cavity. The next time it will fall out after you remove the screws and turn it upside down. Cheers--Duke
To pop off those sticky back covers, I keep a thing with a suction cup on my desk. I stick it on the cover and pull and it pops right out. It was actually a thing my wife had to stick on the mirror to hang necklaces on, but I confiscated it for a more technical use. ;)
I remember those from the eighty's especially the last 1 the first base that you worked on some pretty good I was thinking maybe the pick up Potts could be cleaned. Ibenez really came out great good times
I have an Ibanez 7-string, It's insanely hard to get the back off, but you have to slide it to one direction, I usually use a paper clip, and put it in the small crack that you made by sliding the back to one side, then pry. ;)
Yeah.That thing is stuck on there like white on rice.I feel compelled to just rip it up and get a new back somewhere else.I've tried just about everything.I've come to the notion that removing the back without any cosmetic damage is impossible...
This bass sounded rubish on the previous vid, sounds really nice today. Mind you I have the same thing with my guitars! Sometimes just no matter how much I adjust 'em they sound bad! (I know it was the amp that made the difference) What happened with the '57 R.I. pickup by the way?
@davey4557 I have an Ibanez that doesn't have a pick guard.However, can't take the back off.I tried prying it open with a knife(a flathead is too thick),but I stopped to prevent any damage to the finish of the guitar.What should I do?
having an issue with my input jack from my fender jazz bass I replaced it a year ago and now I am having that issue once againg. It sounds like there is a shortage or a ground problem how do I resolve this problem.
Nice things to say??? Dave Is: Smart,Talented,Funny,The Most Interesting Man In The World and Never Afraid To Show Us His Legs. O.K. I'm done. Now go put on some pants ya hockey puck!!!!

I've been in came out with some really great guitar that is definitely a blast from the past
Good to see you playing some instruments again. I hope the arthritis I think it is isn't bother you too much.

Hey Dave, That Gash you got there on your left leg above the knee looks like a was a nasty cut at one time! Good job on the bass Repair.

Is it just me or does it look like the string don't align perfectly with the fretboard?
cool little guitar!
Nice job Dave, during the demo I was scared I was gonna see yer gooch! Oh beg my pard.
You'd have to be prepared to rout a larger control cavity. They don't like to give you too much room to work in there.

Not a bad little bass that.
how do you ground a bass?
oops, and I said it was a RB999,sorry Dave. heh.
"...and I don't even own a freaking DOG"
Made my day...Cheers! o/
C'mon Dave...you've never smelt a dogs arse.???..You should get out more..lol..J/K..
Or you can always just flip the guitar upside down and the back will probably come off ;)
D: did you try the other way I sent you?
wear some jockies fer crissakes :-)
there is enough room to chisel out a bigger cavity without getting another cover. I've done it before
If I owned that bass I would upgrade the pickup and make a Stingray preamp for it. then it would be a killer axe
