Can you make a video on how to clean the bass pickups, mine are getting a bit oxidized and I've been trying to look for the best way to clean them, but i can't seem to find any good tutorials at all.
For a bass such as the Ibanez RDGR 500 that doesn't have a pickguard or anything, I'm guessing you just do the same process by just removing the backplate. Correct? Also, is there any special way to clean knobs with a pull out function?
i've owned a bass for over 10 years and i had no idea about most of this... only reason why i'm watching this is because i got my bass stolen and im buying a new one and i read on a review this guitar sounded great after setting it up.... TIL
Hey Mr Carruthers. You've been over using that Bass too much for these videos. I think you should get a new one, entirely to provide variation, and give that one to me! I'll see that it gets a nice retirement home and gets played nicely. Thanks for the Vids. Big value!
I watch Mr. Carruthers' videos from time to time just because it is so relaxing.
Thank you Mr. Carruthers, I am trying to restore my old pbass and this is invaluable lesson.
Excellent!
that tip about pickups and screws thing is amazing, thanks!
Very helpful!!!!! I never thought about using the pickup magnets to hold the screws!!!!!!!!
this guy is the bob ross of bass repair
Thanks for all of these videos, I'm learning a lot.
God bless you mr carruthers. Thanks for educating us all

Sorry you didn't get an answer to your question 11 years ago! Here's a video that deals with these issues: th-cam.com/video/oRdHsigtqlA/w-d-xo.html
My question is my jack is also dirty what should I do with that?

Bring back the POLYWEB bass strings. The current lineup sucks.
