70's Jazz Bass Gets Assembled and Setup

[@eric_in_florida]

That headstock is 1,000% better. Great job.

[@ClintsCrypt]

In archery with high end aluminum compound bows, we encounter galvanic (dissimilar metal) corrosion from screwing steel bolts into the aluminum risers. Many archers use their string wax on the bolt threads to prevent galvanic corrosion. We also use anti-corrosion grease or Loctite. I would only use the wax or anti-corrosion lubricant on the saddles, as Loctite would make the saddles harder too adjust. The anti-corrosion lubricant or wax would prevent sweat and other moisture from getting into the threads so Dave would not have to clean/replace the saddles and/or saddle screws!

[@TheFULLMETALCHEF]

Finally the finale! Interesting restoration.

[@rogercardenas111]

Classic Fender Jazz Bass. Great job. I'm sure the owner is going to be really happy.

[@JonathanWhoever]

That finish is awsome.

[@och70]

Another bass brought back from the dead. Great work, as always.

[@pensnut08]

I absolutely love that bass with it stripped down to th wood. The pickguard looks great with it!

[@jamescoderre9595]

Good Job!!😀👍this one was a bit of a project, what a beautiful 72 Jazz bass ... you've brought new life to yet another bass.

[@smasica]

i like that natural wood with tortoise shell pick guard.

[@tkbyd]

bravo to you Dave as a guitar player i always watch Bass setups. it shows poeple.....BASS ROCKS

[@tuskedbeast]

Love your multiple "There! Fished!" on the polishing :)

[@mccypr]

Nice to see someone who knows what they’re doing. I’m going through a novice learning curve/very minor money pit trying to fix an old German Violin. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@camadams516]

Thanks Dave keep up the good work

[@001USA001]

Those Tiny Screws could not be any worse.

[@SixSixthSix]

Great result, it matches the age of the bass perfectly!

[@dennislindsay9993]

I can't believe you spent all this time, Unbelievable job .... Bass gets better each video .... I hope you made a lot of money .... Great Job .... I want to get another JBass .... :)

[@maanjezus8622]

Good looking bass.

[@Jester-Riddle]

Good to see that nice Bass leaving your hospital all better again ....

[@boomerbassmeme]

Beautifully sorted!😎👍

[@bertrandmajorik6589]

Nice restoration, man !!!

[@rocknchips1342]

nice job as always dave....!

[@michaelroche4559]

Another awesome intro! They just keep getting better

[@petedazer3381]

Nice job Dave, looks good.

[@elducko1951]

IMO, the BadAss Bridge is Crap! I don't expect anyone to agree with me. My EXPERIENCE dictates that it is no better than the OEM bridge. Dave is the best.

[@samlelowitch]

Great work, Dave and cool video as always-thank you! This is a process ordinary mortals don’t usually get to witness.

[@ed801975]

Beautiful bass!

[@larryburwell8550]

great job dave. expertise at its best.

[@BrooksysBassCorner]

Great stuff as always, Dave. Dave for President!

[@briansimpson8116]

Another bass Ungooched. Well done

[@pauldavis6356]

A hot time in the old melon tonight. LoL

[@timothybedwards5440]

Nice bass Thnx Dave

[@wademiyataki9221]

Great job! Awe, no belt sander for the headphone users... ✌️

[@jimmyjimmy17]

nice Bass that ..btw youve just helped me set up my first Bass thanks a lot ...

[@ianmaggs270]

What a marathon!

[@bobross5580]

Very impressed with this one, Dave. It seems like you are going out of your way to help us make sense of why it is done this way. I must say that this repair turned out very very nicely! Thank you for sharing it with use. I have been buying files and tools for a while and everything I buy is something that works well for you. Maybe not a tuna sammich, but I like em ;)

[@johnf6288]

The problem is that he does too good work. I had one guitar done a year and a half ago, and another a year before that and they are still in mint playing shape, with incremental truss bar adjustments of course, lol

[@harrykeijzer5654]

I'm always curious a) how much time went into a job like this and b) what the total cost ended up being.

[@StoneShards]

"Did I say the 'F' word?" hahaha...Do you mean, "Fender"? hehehe

[@conorboyland4323]

I honestly think I'd take the headphone noise of sanding over the buffer any day

[@blkjckgtr3075]

Awesome job Dave and at our age any day that you wake up is a good day!Love to see woodgrain more than colored wood!being a xcarpenter i like the natural beauty of the wood grain,Cheers .

[@johnvenditto2908]

A happy ending. Who doesn't love it when Dave has a happy ending?

[@RadioMartyT1B]

Dave, you are obliged to play Rush's "Working Man" after you put that bass together....

[@AndyK.23]

Great job! That was a ton of work to - wonder what that Un-Gootching cost??

[@johnstitt2615]

Dave.......isms. ✌️😎🎸👌✌️

[@teddymuldoon1905]

Wow, I’ve watched over 100 of Dave’s movies and I’m the first to post a message? Where is everyone?

[@Ndlanding]

Twat!

[@OzziePete1]

02:42 Hi Dave. You mentioned working in Special Effects in a heatwave... Do you have to know about the effects of heat on chemicals and explosives used in special effects? Would any of that stuff get unstable in high heat?

[@OzziePete1]

@@DavesWorldofFunStuff Thanx for the quick reply Dave. Have a great weekend.

[@neilmoran9988]

Shooting in Canada dave?

[@Surge_LaChance]

I'm sitting here looking at my USA Fender Jazz and the string spacing at the nut appears to be more like the "squished" (narrower-spaced) original than the Tusq replacement. The E and G strings look a lot closer to the edge of the neck with that Tusq. Also: Are you sure that old nut you had didn't come off a Precision?

[@andrewhodgson8895]

To be fair, I thought the G string was slightly too close to the edge of the fingerboard with the new nut. Comment, Dave?

[@Pandamasque]

5:55 Chuck LEWIS. Just a guess.

[@johnsimms3957]

I wouldn't use wet sand paper on guitar wood. I believe dry steel wool would be better. If the wood absorbs any of the water it could warp. And then you could have tuning and action problems.

[@Jester-Riddle]

He was using the wet paper on a sealed surface, so was not touching the wood. This was a polishing phase ..

@ John Simms Tell that to just about every instrument manufacturer in the world. (...not to mention fine furniture manufacturers and woodworkers ...)

[@Jester-Riddle]

Not gonna lie... I watched this without a mask. Just the reality of the situation.

[@Ndlanding]

I had a mask on, and I swear I don't know how Spiderman does it every day, squinting out of those eyehole-thingies.

[@ToddSauve]

Nah, if the sticker peals then just dig out the belt sander and let her have it! Ha, ha! 😉

A sticker is not a bell.

[@williamross2579]

Good job Dave Is it ash bodied? Looks of it’s time...

[@PastelComGini]

I guess you're a bassist by the way you tested this.

[@DatBoi-mo9vc]

Dave has stated before that he only knows enough guitar to aid in song writing, otherwise bass is his instrument

[@williamcampbell7387]

Yeah, he should fuckin' apologize (or is it apologise in Canada?).

[@drabbitz2319]

Dave, I know you find it funny with the headphone peoples and what not. But, that intro was bad even for us speakers folks... ;) just saying...

[@donaldheitger6731]

Your gloves are scary

[@Buffrt66]

You should of left the ears on the nut. Start a new fad. Like the fins on an old Cadillac.

[@sd3falco]

Great job. You wear a mask. Don't tell me to.

[@adobedoug2564]

S DeFalco you’re expected to wear pants, why is a mask such a big ask?
