[@rallypoint1]

Thanks Dave! Used some auto parts store electrical connection cleaner on my Marshall amp gain pot. Bastard would hardly move! Some spray, soak and twist and viola....just like new. Auto parts stuff works just as well as the pricey stuff. Thanks again Dave for saving me some greenbacks!!

[@Imthabossnoob1]

Bass is life

[@RicardoUcles95]

As always thank you Dave!! Hope 2016 is treating you well! Cheers.

[@KarlKarsnark]

Hell yeah! Dave is back!

[@Norbird2004]

Dave is back!!! missed you man!

[@SimplyReg]

Those pickup angles look goofy to me! Nice video, Dave.

[@ernestochang1744]

The purpose they serve is to maintain sound evenness across the strings, for example both E and G strings have a tendency to be louder then the other strings, with the A or the D string being the quiet ones, you roll down the magnets of the E and G strings while bringing up the magnets of the A and D string, some Vintage 1960's basses and american standards from 2008 had a Raised A string pole to match the same volume of the E,D,G strings, hope this helped (seymur duncan makes P bass pickups with Raised A poles with their antiquity series)

[@OzziePete1]

Always a good day when I check You Tube & there's a "1" next to Dave's Channel on my Subscribed Channel List. Shame the P-Bass pickup was dead.

[@OzziePete1]

+Dave's World of Fun Stuff By the way, it's 36 degrees Celsius here in NSW, Australia today.... :-)

[@trappenweisseguy27]

Your poster reminds me of Buster Keaton's "The Cameraman", which I heartily recommend.

[@deepwater2652]

Good stuff!

[@paultraynorbsc627]

Hi Dave welcome back cheers ☺☺

[@bblod4896]

Keep warm, crank up the heat.Cheers.

[@Factorconspiracy]

fender is great

[@budandbean1]

Hello Dave, it's wonderful to hear your voice again. Could you possibly help me... Where can I purchase one of those brass screw-on fittings that allow you to spray contact cleaner inside a potentiometer without making a terrible mess? I'd love to get one or two if they come in different screw-on sizes. Thank you, I'd certainly appreciate it... Buddy

[@budandbean1]

+Dave's World of Fun Stuff Hey Dave, now you know where you can get a replacement... 😎 Ha!

[@budandbean1]

Just Kidding Dave... Just kidding!

[@budandbean1]

+Dave's World of Fun Stuff I thought you had a couple different sizes... I'm pretty sure I can make one (or two). Thanks, you're the best Dave.

[@Bluebuthappy182]

Haven't seen you in ages. How are things?

[@BARTSIMPSON-gk3db]

Should there be the capo at the first fret for the neck relief measurement By the way WELCOME BACK............CHEERS!

[@SBDavin]

+Dave's World of Fun Stuff Yep - it can be seen on the table in the video because you just took it off.

[@RandySchartiger]

Hey Dave try a Peterson Strobo Clip tuner set for bass works better than any clip on I've used on bass.

[@RandySchartiger]

***** They are dandy little tuners and well worth the $

[@MichaelMaxwell747]

I just checked their website after seeing Dave's Peterson and plan on getting a clip-on strobe tuner myself. I have noticed that the Super Snark does not respond to my five-string bass as well as it does to a guitar.

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Oh man, that's my dream bass.

[@TameTones]

ArielsSmartyPants You must have low standards then

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Cuz a Fender Bass sucks right?

[@greggjohnson305]

I learn so much from your videos. The brass that you used to spray into... Did you purchase those or DIY? Looking forward to the completion of this one and the tuner review. Thanks.

[@guitarmage0072]

Dave where did you the device that fits over the pot?

[@MrOne2watch]

thx for the upload, and happy VD ! lol

[@mountainman1961]

hey dave!! how ya doing in this cold crap!! I have a waterstone 12 string tommy petersson bass that needed strings. well I didn't have the balls to do it myself but I had a dude at guitar center do it for me. he did an awesome job. but I wanted to know if you ever worked on a 12 bass?? thanks bud!!happy valentines day!!

[@CakeHIre]

23 ° in Auckland today. Hot one. Oh. That's Centigrade. Yay!

[@eltorpedo67]

+Mike West Hey, there's only a 49° difference between us this morning...

[@WDeranged]

Hey Dave, have you ever used that electrical contact cleaner on a high friction pot? I made that mistake once and pretty much destroyed all the pots in my guitar, the contact cleaner ate up every last bit of grease and made the pots feel dry and gritty to turn.

[@sd3falco]

Hey Dave...another cool video. Thanks! Quick question: Is it ok to use that same cleaner on my amp? I've got a noisy pot. Thanks again for the fun (and informative) videos!

[@sd3falco]

Thanks brother.

[@islanderwinder]

Where do you get those brass things that screws to the pots ? for cleaning the pots & how do you find the CT contact cleaner product ? I'm in Canada as well & I've just used up my long time Radio Shack supply of cleaner

[@damnyankeex1]

Dave's World of Fun Stuff take it to a machine shop, have it copied, patent it, then sell it to the evil empire being its better than theirs.

[@ConstantineBassCovers]

Dave, what do you call the attachment you used to apply the electric cleaner in? That would save a bunch of time for sure. Thanks again. Cheers

[@ConstantineBassCovers]

+Dave's World of Fun Stuff thanks.

[@patricktrites3381]

Hi Dave, I have a question about string height on fretless basses does one set the string height to the same spec as a fretted bass? Great video thanks for sharing

[@tristinm8311]

my guess is the fretless has a lower string height ... I have a fretless and the string height feels really low

[@embalmed]

it's going to get colder

[@TheRooster1122]

Happy Vday back at ya Dave

[@AndyCernava]

Hey dave, is there a reference i can use to find out what measurements to use for other guitars?

[@lastpedestrian]

Off-topic, but what amp do you use to drive your NS-10s? Thanks for another great video. Cheers.

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

Dave, Love the vids! Somehow lost a saddle adjustment screw out of my Sadowsky bass bridge, beyond me how I lost it. Any idea if they use a generic screw or do I have to get them from Sadowsky directly? Cheers from Sask.

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

+Dave's World of Fun Stuff thanks a million Dave. Appreciate the response

[@johnp3650]

hey Dave nice to see you again! we missed you. it got cold as a witches tit here in Long Island New York... lol peace and be well

[@leighrichardson8795]

is there a way to put a piezoelectric system underneath the saddle of an electric guitar (without a whammy system)

[@leighrichardson8795]

+Dave's World of Fun Stuff thanks you are truely the man of luthier knowledge

[@soulagent79]

14:11 Did you say "kaputt"?

[@eltorpedo67]

+soulagent79 Yeah he did. Why?

[@soulagent79]

It's German, didn't know the term is used in other languages as well.

[@eltorpedo67]

***** Yeah, it's not that commonly heard in English these days, but it used to be, and everyone would know what it means.

[@spur610]

hi dave...I have a squire vintage vibe jazz bass...and on the g string at the 7th fret the note is dead...no sustain at all...changed strings..frets are fine...neck...etc...if I press the headstock on say a table with a little pressure the dead spot is gone...help...I know fender basses are sometimes subject to this...any tips?

[@watcherofvideos3117]

Hey Dave...How soon should you get your frets leveled? Mine has some little dents on the 2nd and 7th frets of the G and B strings, then just normal wear on the rest. Any info would help

[@watcherofvideos3117]

+Dave's World of Fun Stuff thanks man, I just play around the house I think I can get a little more out of it. Thanks for the help, another good video also thanks

[@angrytroll27]

hey dave, potentially dumb question here but are those pickups height adjustable?? when you took the face plate off the bass the pickups seemed to be direct mounted to the body. In my experience with these types of pickups they havent really been adjustable

[@angrytroll27]

+Dave's World of Fun Stuff thanks, the guitars n basses ive seen from fender/fender knock offs with these pickups or P90s on one guitar is the screws move n thats bout it. in one case the pickup covers nearly fell off.

[@birchnewbert5429]

pickup's gooched!

[@terrysmith6442]

Nice looking bass though

[@matthewyakes8327]

Is this a Taco or Burrito JP Bass?

[@matthewyakes8327]

+Dave's World of Fun Stuff Nice one Dave. Thanks for all your setup and repair tips and tricks

[@theworstgamer8963]

Why was you fired from the band😧

[@TheRooster1122]

You quit the band I seen a different chum playing base for the Apposiles

[@Junebu99ie]

What type/brand of feeler gauge do you use for bass/guitar? And what set of metric keys should I get for adjusting truss rods?

[@Junebu99ie]

+Dave's World of Fun Stuff Thanks Dave!

[@handgunner1911]

a good fret leveling can make a fender play like butter.i set my basses to the best playability possible.i dont follow thier reccomendations.low action sometimes requires a leveling.etc

[@robertpenhallow2185]

JOIN this channel, people! Join this man in a most wonderful & amazingly informative, hilariously inventive program series on You Tube. I am NOT affiliated with KZbin or any other process here. I just believe in this guy! I have been around the horn in KZbin for the information that we want for setting up our guitars, and, YES, there are others that give good info, BUT you are NOT going to get what Dave has to provide. Especially in his "every guy" persona that is the hallmark of this man! I live in Northern California, so I have never had a chance to meet this amazing human, but I would LOVE to only have the privilege of living next door to him! What a blast THAT would be! Enjoy Dave! Let him speak the TRUTH, as he sees it! I just recently bought a Fender Tele, and have religiously "set up" my axe JUST the way Dave said to do, and it has NEVER sounded better, especially out of the box! Can't go wrong, here, with Dave's World of Fun Stuff! It's a wonderful & fun place to be, all you jammers out there! Live it!!

[@robertpenhallow2185]

Hey Dave, just read your reply, and have since shifted over to Facebook. I get lost, a bit in these choppy waters of the Internet. Just wanted to assure you that what I said was for real and anyone that wants to watch a fun & authentic show, NEEDS to tune in to your site! Now, THIS is what "Reality TV" is all about! Just don't stop, Dave!

[@TheRooster1122]

Wow it's Dave"""""" How's it bud?

[@RuinBird]

Could be the actual coil wire has broken at the 'eyelet'. The fact that you get that unconnected hum would suggest the one for the 'hot' output wire. The white one in this case? If you're lucky it's the outer end of the coil and you can unwrap one turn to get enough to fit back in the hole and re-solder. Less lucky and you have an eyesight testing job of soldering a fine wire to a tiny stump of coil wire and then soldering that into the eyelet. If it's the inner wind and it;s broken under/inside the coil you're shit out of luck. I've had at least a half dozen of these kind of breaks in the last 12 months. Weirdly all on the neck pickups of Strats and Teles. All fixable except the one that came from under the coil with no wire to grab for an end to solder to.

[@RuinBird]

+Dave's World of Fun Stuff Bummer! It's always nice to be able to come out the hero by performing a 'miracle' fix and save the owner some money.

[@grantkoeller8911]

The very best tuners are KORG model CA-40

[@Ndlanding]

Re-watching, and now I have to add: BEWARE of CONTACT CLEANER if you have a NITRO finish. Any overspray, or excess liquid that touches a nitro finish will send ir straight to hell. I just did that to my mates Fender Tele (Highway whatsit), and the area around the metal control strip is buggered right up the dark passage. Just letting you know!

[@BARTSIMPSON-gk3db]

Eyes again!

[@mr7wi]

+Dave's World of Fun Stuff Threadjack - a song where the bass does the heavy lifting: Muse - 'Hysteria' kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5rCq36hjq19r9E Dave - can ya play some of those riffs in your next demo?

[@321bytor]

You didn't say 'gooched'!

[@Spinnifuchs]

+321bytor Gooched is kaputt.

[@321bytor]

I know - it was at the start, but not by the end

+321bytor gooched means HE did it. He didn't do it.

[@michaellinton2990]

I could use one of those tuners,could i have one please?

[@spoddie]

10:11 EXTREME DANGER Clip on tuners suck on bass. I use a free tuner app on my Android , just place it on the amp (and tell the band to shut up for 1 minute)

[@justanotherdummy3448]

hell that still takes ya 20 minutes to get them idiots to all shut up at one time.

[@MichaelMaxwell747]

I have been using one called Fine Bass Tuner. It is pretty good but not silent. I want to get a Peterson clip-on strobe tuner now.

[@Attercop47]

the snark the new and improved snark and the old fail safe stand by go snark your self

[@ernestochang1744]

now watch the guy say "well it was working fine before i handed it to you, you must have done something wrong, now you owe me the price of a new P bass pickup" Dave this may possibly be a scam

[@ernestochang1744]

***** let me guess someone messed with the copper wiring inside the pickup so now it's gooched? LOL

[@ernestochang1744]

***** youch, well glad to see that's all sorted out, love your vids man :)

[@stephencrane552]

you been missed,Dave.been sadly lacking in bass porn.lol.

[@hootenanny58]

Wonder about the age of that bass ... Wonder if it left the factory with a bum p-bass pickup? Quality control at Fender and Gibson off-shore has been going down-hill IMO. Doing mucho collateral damage to pretty solid brands.

[@BARTSIMPSON-gk3db]

Millimeters Huh?.I can"t see the Imperial.............The Truth!

[@dalepal]

It must have been a disappointment to get the bass set up only to find out the pickup is gooched.

[@ghostwriter1440]

That's sad, she is a fine looking axe

[@ghostwriter1440]

boom, straight outta gooch street!

[@FretFriendGWaL]

Broken coil in that pick-up...

[@foodforthegods]

Those clip-on tuners are so bad on bass - especially in a band, in my experience. Every time I've used one at a jam session or rehearsal or what have you, I would have to ask the drummer and guitarist to stop playing while I'm tuning because for some reason (probably physics, ha!) the clip-on would be even less responsive when there was noise happening around it. I guess they're okay for home use, but still super flimsy.

[@weibernipple]

Hate clip on tuners, just don't like the look. Same for scrunchies, socks, diapers, etc. the only thing that should be stuck up there is a lit cigarette.:)/

[@badtelecastercg3347]

hows your mom?
