Professional guitar & bass maintenance, service and repairs.
This beautiful gem came to me from a friend of mine that had issues with the neck pocket and, as a result, needed some pretty gnarly work. It seems that from the factory it came with the neck pocket routed pretty poorly and too low on the body side so it needed to be filled and flattened. The bass itself was in immaculate condition barring that; it definitely didn't look like it was 30 years old! So, I filled the neck pocket with wood filler then painfully worked it back until it was flat and uniform. It took some time but eventually I got it to where I like it. Put some black nylon flat wound strings on it and gave it full service and tune up. What a gem!
Side note: the electronics on it weren't standard P-Bass controls; it had the TBX tone circuit in it, found normally on Clapton Strats. Very interesting mod on a bass. It definitely added a nice character to it.
