Good to see you back Nik, with a awesome Vintage piece. Great job!

Wow! The care and craftsmanship that went into bringing this beautiful Fender back to a proper setup is, as always, top notch. At 19:53 the detail of setting wood screw threads is so important. Precision matters (no pun intended).

Thank you so much for watching and for your positive comment Jon. You are welcome. Best Regards Nik

[@zdude335]

why should you turn them counterclockwise first?

[@petrekguitars]

@@zdude335 I always turn it in this direction to check if it’s stuck and moving. Best Regards Nik

[@Jon_Bass4001]

@@zdude335 Great question. A counterclockwise turn allows one to see and feel the start of the screw’s thread aligning with the thread already cut into the wood from the initial installation of the screw. If we were to just start installing the screw with downward pressure and clockwise rotation, there’s a strong chance of damaging or stripping the threaded hole in the wood. In this video you should be able to hear how the screw drops just slightly into the hole as Nik rotates it counterclockwise and aligns the threads before tightening. Cheers! 🎸

Hi Friend, thank you for this video. Indeed, a lovely 1960 Fender Precision Bass (I am born in 1960 too !) that needed some slight adjustment. This old granny was lucky to finding a fine and master luthier : nice job Man !

FINALLY someone who economises time reusing tape fret to fret during a buff out, vs a prettied up full board tape.... I get it if you're doing a re level, but most times it's empty wow factor.... beautiful bass, nice work

[@harleyhexxe9806]

Well, that bass guitar has seen a LOT of night clubs and still going strong! I love that invisible shim idea Nik, and I'll wager the owner would never know if you didn't tell him. Great work Nik, and thank you for sharing.

@petrekguitars , quick question: @12:15, why didn't you use the E and G strings to keep the nut in place and proper positioned? not questioning your methods. just want to learn 🙂

[@petrekguitars]

@@3l84r70 Thanks for your question Mate. I didn’t use it for position the Nut just for checking the Nut high.., You can use any other string for this purpose 👍🕺🏻You are welcome. Cheers Nik

What was that nut being glued into the fret board for? I've never seen a repair technique like that

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks a lot for your feedback and your question. I suppose this was fixed with superglue or a kind of epoxy. I glue it with fish glue 👍Best Regards Nik

[@abelluislizaso2757]

I think he does it to keep the radius right

[@petrekguitars]

@@abelluislizaso2757 Yes correct I have stick sandpaper on the Fretboard to remove the glue and keep the Radius perfect... Best Regards Nik
