Here are some projects I have worked on during the past few months. Apologies for the lack of updates.

1970s Fender Musicmaster bass in for nut replacement, re-strung, saddle adjustment/intoned, slight neck adjustment, and general cleaning. These short scale basses are a cool Fender collectible that won't break the bank if you want some fiesta red amongst your gear!

Once the nut was done this Musicmaster just needed a proper set up with short-scale bass strings. Yes eventually I did clean and polish everything (not seen in these pics!).

I would also like to kindly thank whoever anonymously sent me the bitchin alabaster cobra statue...way cool!!!

Good buddy Josh Dukes from the Pittsburgh roots/Americana band THE ARMADILLOS brought his Fender Super Bassman 100 watt head in for a few repairs. It's a very nice example he scored from a storage facility. It had seen some rough 'n tumble action from his previous band (psychobilly SUPERCHARGED SUICIDE) and he wanted it working properly.

The Bassman's guts were beautifully clean for the most part. Josh kept blowing fuses (and breaking the fuse holder!) during gigs. He was lucky that he addressed the problems in time before he got a hot order of the "red plate special"!!! A few components and genuine Fender hardware, fresh tubes and proper bias adjustment got it tightened up. Josh has seemed real pleased at the way the amp is SUPPOSED to sound, and I had a good time honkin on it with a few different guitars before I got it back to him. You just gotta love Fender silverface gear.
