- Hey, everyone!
I'm sharing with you a story which started with buying a bass guitar. I thought it woulodn't be a big deal, but it turned out to be a real challenge.
I had to change the fingerboard and truss rod. It took a lot of time. When it came to the body I saw it was damaged with spray. I had no desire to repaint it and instead I made road worn.
Leave your comments on the result. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Extremely impressed and have nothing but respect for a man who can fix their own equipment.
Thanks!
Musima Instruments factory were located in my hometown Markneukirchen in formerly east germany. After reuniting germany the factory was closed in 1990. Since the early 90s Warwick Basses are manufactured in the same town. Also the headquarters of Framus Guitars are located here. The founder of Warwick is the son of Fred Wilfer, the founder of Framus Guitars. He reunited Framus in 1995, since Framus was shut in the late 70's.
No one asked, but i thought it might be interessting.
Thank you, not many people know this.
You live in an amazing place that is full of guitar building history. I dream to visit your town someday.
@@mr.k1t It's a nice place to study classic guitar building. The college is a beautiful mansion. There is also Framus Museum, i've never been. I grew up there, anyways the town is slowly dying like everything nice.. you might be disappointed
I have never seen someone so natural and fearless with this type of work. Your sensibilities of how to feel the situation, and then your knowledge and experience on how to do it, and then your well-trained hands doing the work. Plus you can play it well. I loved the flat wounds. The fretboard looks amazing. That was cool you did it with a CNC machine.
Thank you!
I love the straight ahead comments “And this is a disaster”. Another saying would be “It’s quite the scene”. Lol. Great vid. These builds give me lots of ideas for repairs I am doing.
Great video. I love repair videos more than build videos. Great to see people work with what is there and make the most of it.
The amount of work you've put into this one is impressive. This P-bass looks better than ever now!
Thanks!
Musima " Action Baß " ..... Großartiges Instrument, fetter Sound und spielt sich viel besser als man denkt.
Klasse Video,- Respekt!
Your video gives me relax and TONS of satisfaction 😌 Keep it up!! (Fretboard repair was awesome🎸🔥)
Thank you!
You sir are an artist!
This is very relaxing to watch after a full day of work. Thank you for sharing!
Stay safe. Much love! ✌🏻
Thank you for comment. Best wishes from Ukraine!
So so nice to see a weathered and neglected instrument receive some much-deserved loving! The whole music cosmos is smiling on you, for the care you have given!
Thank you!
What a great video - compulsive viewing. Cracking job on that bass. What you did to the neck was sublime. Well done!
that came out bad ass it looks amazing love the black pickguard too and road worn job thank you for the video
Awesome project man. Thanks for taking the time to put it together on film and sharing 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you for watching and comment)
The custom knobs are incredible!!!! You could make a fortune selling those as after market custom brass, bronze, copper or chrome knobs!!!
I will pass this on to my father)
You are obviously a professional, very nice work and a great video I couldn’t stop watching
Thank you!
Glad I witnessed this. Great job. Beautiful.
Excellent road-worn ! Some people go overboard , but I like how you did it a lot
Thanks!
Lovely montage, master Tadyka!
Dude this was epic
I kinda like how you didn’t put the fender badge on this just kept it real ..
You got skills man
I am learning lots from this
Love the video, excellent smooooooth background music and great skills displayed! G'day from Australia.
Thank you!
Best wishes from Ukraine!
Beautiful work and beautiful result.
Fantastic work! It gave me a lot of great information I need for my DIY project in the near future.
Thanks! I'm glad to be helpful.
What a satisfying video to watch. Amazing work!
Great job. Your skill and dedication are impressive.
I had an experience like this too. Bought a used bass, took the finish off, eventually learned that someone had carved and spray painted it. Didn’t know what to do after that and lost the electronics and hardware so it’s just been sitting in my closet for 13 years. Maybe this will be the year.
Go ahead my friend, the time has come)
To me, seems like the very best situation to have.
With an instrument that’s “gone” and of no value, monetarily or otherwise.
There’s nothing to fear for any less experienced guy to jump in and learn his chops, and gain experience and skill.
Go for it!👍🏻
Loved your work, those brass colored frets look awesome! Be safe out there.
Glad you like it!
Wow! What a great job in this bass, congrats!!!!
Well done! It looks great now. Nice work!
One of the best videos for repairing guitar... beautiful man!
Thank you!
Nice job! Especially enjoyed watching the fingerboard and fret work.
Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant! What a craftsman!
Thanks!
Always great to see a craftsman doing their stuff
I am glad that you like it
Wow! This is one of the most hardcore repairs I've ever seen
Great job! Looks and sounds awesome
Nice work! That bass was a better candidate for the trash bin than a restoration when it came in, but it looks like a pretty sweet bass when you were done. 👍👍👍👍👍
I had to drink a beer after watching video! A real cliff hanger. The result was great! Good work.
Cheers😉
Omg, this is so satisfying to watch.
On the bright side, you got to challenge yourself repairing it ;)
It`s true)
Great work!👏👏👏👏
Your work on this bass is first class
Thank you!
Great job! I love the video. Keep them coming.
Thanks! New video in progress)
Awesome job. Turned out great. I may have to try my hand at it.
Thank you. I believe you will succeed!
Super niiiiiiice video man! amazing work on that pbass
Thank you!
The result is absolutely fantastic. Tons of vibe, nice vintage look. Personally I would have kept the aged white pickguard, but that’s just my taste.
I prefer black)
Beautiful result!
Thank you!
I'm not seeing any "mistake" there, that is some brilliant work! I love guitars that are saved from the bin for future players to enjoy.
Thanks!
It was a mistake not to check the condition upon purchase, in which case it would have taken less time)
Great job! Thanks for sharing.
Why was it a mistake?I think you had the chance to bring it back to life and you did an amazing job!!! And the brass nut? A touch of class!!
Thank you!
Excelente trabajo
It’s cool with the brass nut. I discovered it adds a bit of “warmth”.
On the other end of the spectrum,
I just completely rebuilt and modded a 5 string Jazz bass, and one of the things I did was build a stainless steel nut, and it seemed to add just a touch of extra “aggression” to the overall tone.
It was a fun experiment.
Amazing! You’re an artisan and very talented luthier.
👏👏👏👊😎 🎸
Thanks
Really top notch work. I just did a Squier Bronco bass that had stuff carved into the finish. Cheaper to do the worn look than a refinish. Especially on a low budget instrument.
Thank you, it may be harder for you to achieve the same result, since the squier has a polyurethane coating, which is more difficult to do the worn.
@@mr.k1t heat gun and a paint scraper.
@@mr.k1t you really have to sand it down pretty deep then polish it out. Not ideal but better than the time spent on a complete refinish.
Congratulations, your bass is amazing. I liked that you didn't remove the name of the bass in the hand. The body turned out very nice, in the vintage wave.
Thank you, it took me a lot of time and I'm glad that someone liked it.
For an old dog like me,
(Playing since ‘71, modding since ‘82 and building about 10 years)
I love bringing something back from the dead almost more than anything else.
Way more satisfying than buying an overpriced “name” that I’d still have to mod to suit my preferences.
Nice work!🤘🏻🫡
Great job! I like watching this kind of videos
Thank you!
Great work and attention to detail, would love to try it out!
One thing I've learned with these, make sure there's no paint or finish in the neck socket on either side (body and neck). Bare wood to wood contact, as level as you can make it (that piece of paper was supposed to help with a botched job of that). I bet you'll notice a diffrence in note stability.
Cheers from Poland!
Great work!
Nice! And you put the warwick frets on this! Also the brass nut is awesome!
Amazing work 👏
Very cool! Great job 🤘
I can't see how the paint disaster was even a consideration next to the state of the fret board. I've never seen anything in as much of a state as that. Well done, sir.
Thank you!
The neck immediately caught my eye, I was not mentally prepared for the turn with the body)
We need more mistakes like that if they result in awesome basses. I love how it turned out. Hope it plays well. Sounds pretty good.
I bought another bass, let's see if it becomes a mistake)
Hopefully I'll be done with it and editing the video by the end of the month.
Man, you did an excellent repair job. And the video is top quality as well. Very very good. So, please, NEVER use the words "big mistake" again, when you did great!
I enjoyed the video! I appreciate your skill as a luthier! learned a lot!
Thaks!
Amazing. I'd have thought it was destined for firewood when you started.
A true artist always uses his 3rd and 4th hands to complete the job
Fantastic job
Great job!
awesome work 👍
Brilliant work thank you so much,,,your a master at your job!
Thank you!
Great work and lots of patience!
Thanks!
This is a masterpiece thanks for sharing..!
Greetings from Berlin
Thank you!
Best wishes from Ukraine!
That’s amazing work….a lot of it, but the finished product is great.
Thanks!
Kudos brother you repair it yoursrlf❤❤❤
I really enjoyed this 😊 great job
Thanks!
amazing work!
wonderfull ! very good job ! congratulation !!!!!!
Thanks!
Was a little surprised you didn't sand it all off and repaint it, since you had already spent that much time reviving it, you did say you had no desire to repaint it though!! Very nice job beautifully done!!
Thanks you!
Painting is always a long time, I already spent about 2 months and when I discovered a problem with the deck, I had no desire to delay another 2 months)
Great work. That bass looks 1000% better.
It now looks road worn but well taken care of. 😁✌🖖
I like how you work, friend.
Thank you!
Nice job! 👌
👏🏼 Great Job! Every time I see a video like this , I can’t help but wonder “🤔 what if Leo Fender was never born?”
Nice job 🎉
Would’ve loved to have seen another maple fretboard, but the new one looks so good I don’t even care! Great job
Thank you, I would like to leave the maple, but I had no choice)
A lot of work for an off-brand bass. Probably worth very little but the experience is priceless! Congratulations!
Thank you. Perhaps for you it’s an off brand bass, but in my area it was an enviable bass guitar.(now these factories produce warwick,framus and many others)
@@mr.k1tI am not saying it was not an enviable bass or not worth your effort. Only this, the man hours and materials costs spent likely do not cover the replacement costs of a mass produced instrument. Since it was for your personal use, your valuable time could be considered as 'no cost'. However, for those of us who professionally repair these guitars and basses, time is not free. The cost to the customer would be excessive as the labor costs are high. You did a lot of great work and spent many hours to repair this bass! But to me, Time = Money. If I were to do this repair, my customer could probably buy a very nice condition used or maybe even a new Framus or Warwick or even a real Fender P-bass for less out of pocket cost. I would tell them to not waste their money (paying me) unless it was a sentimental instrument or had a storied history (used by someone famous). This does not diminish your efforts. It is a very good repair. Again, congratulations.
I understand you, I have a guitar in repair now, which I sincerely do not want to repair. And I'm trying to dissuade the client from doing it)
great job man! I habe one of those but im red color and the neck need a lot of love.
Most of such basses are lack of love, a little care for copies.
Wonderful job !!! Two thumbs up ! (I have only to units, I would of course give you more if possible... )😉
Thanks for your feedback)
Awesome work man! 👌🏻
Thanks!
Чудова робота! Цікаво було спостерігати за роботою професіонала) За майстрові ручки - окремий респект, виглядають кайфово! Як власник такої ж моделі, можу сказати, що в цілому це доволі цікаві інструменти (якщо вони не в убитому стані, що рідкість в наші часи). Єдине що звукознімач як на мене звучить занадто ретро і його рамки зроблені з дуже м'якого пластику, який сильно стирається доволі швидко. Ще з їх стандартними ладами зазвичай біда, вони вилазять з накладки і їх треба, або одразу міняти на нові, або загинати і підклеювати старі. Коротше після заміни звукознімача і ладів, можна отримати перемогу)))
Дякую)
Я думав замінити звукознімач, але під рукою не було нічого, щоб мені сподобалось, а так, я з вами згодний, ці музіми це дійсно хороші інструменти, після невеликого ремонту я віддам перевагу такій музімі, ніж якомусь новому скваєру.

He liked the work and the custom potentiometer knobs,
He has the same bass and doesn't like the pickup.
I answer that I also planned to replace the pickups, but in the end I did not find anything that I liked and left the old ones. I also say that I would prefer such a bass to any new squier.
Молодець!
Якраз і подивився як знімають з басу накладку! :D
Nice job!
love your work magnificent :D !
Thanks!
So much work!
Now that's a master guitar luthier!
Solid work!
Thanks!
Man this fingerboard was so disastrous at first I can't believe how it's possible
Beautiful. I don't even play Bass, but I would add that to my stable of guitars.
Play guitar and bass and if I'm honest, bass gives the best feeling. So important is bass in music.
I’ve never seen anyone cut the strings off a bass under tension - that was impressive.
Some people do that, and say it's not a problem. Maybe. But I sure as hell would never release that tension like that. It only takes a minute to loosen the strings.
Tremolos release the tension at the same speed. You're not gonna break a neck from snipping strings.@@krmhayes2893
With a bass in that condition there was nothing to worry about.
That bass was a complete mess, and it really turned out beautiful. I generally hate the faked wear and tear, but it worked out so well for this one.
It`s semi-faked)
btw, most of the scratches and chips were left by time, not me.
Klasse. Glückwunsch. Nice .
Awesome! Bass Guitar Life Saver.
Most relaxing 20 minutes ever.
Thank you
