Bass Restoration

[IguanaKahuna]

Thank you for your comments. It was a loooong time because the luthier that was working on the bass died few months ago, so I had to found another one to finish the paint job.

I have the bridge cover but I cant "mute" the strings with the cover installed. I also have two knobs but without chrome. What you mean with posts and inserts?

You can see that there is a missing bolt, the problem is that there is no hole for the bolt. We installed the pickguard in the original position using the existing holes but one of the holes is not there, just the routing.

I will put more pictures later. The paint its amazing, it was painted it on the old way, tha means gold and then transparent blue.

Forget that I mentioned those I was thinking more of tuning-post bushings (are they bigger for Mosrite?)


These are tuningbushings forum member oigun made himself.

A little video playing the bass. Camera didnt make any justice to the sound.

Thanks to all for your comments. I played the bass live last friday. It was a friend's meeting on the stage, not my real band playing.

I have a question. The tone's pot is dead and doing some kind of microphonic noice. What's a good replacement?
