Old Music Man String Ray setup and refret

[@Razoredge]

I won't lie, I'm here for two things. 1) Seeing you taking a good care of instruments. 2) Seeing what's on your nails. And I'm never disappointed. Plus, Music Man instruments are one of my favorite. Really great brand.

[@RiccardoPearlman]

I was volunteering in Kyiv for a month, and just before I left the YT algorithm showed me your channel. And of course I was living just five minutes from your shop! I didn't have time to come by this time, but I will be back hopefully in the winter. I have shared your channel with a bunch of musicians here, and we are all fast fans :) Hopefully I will be back to say hello on my next round of volunteering. Don't change a thing! Your content is ACES! Big hugs and Слава Україні!

This shop is in Kyiv? That's cool!

[@trinacria1956]

Perhaps revealing her location was not the greatest idea.

[@RiccardoPearlman]

@@trinacria1956 It's on her website. They have a shop. If she prefers I remove this post I will do so, but from what I can see, it's no secret.

[@RiccardoPearlman]

@@trinacria1956 Revealing her location? That's kind of an overreaction yeah? You make it sound like I just doxxed her... She has a website and a patreon. It's there in plain sight. In Kyiv... Ukrainian flag... no shipments to Belarus or Russia... This is a working guitar repair shop in Kyiv. One of many repair places in the city- they have an incredible culture of repair and upkeep of goods. Something I dearly miss seeing here in the US. If for some reason she asks me to take down or revise the post, I am happy to do it.

[@tetedur377]

@@trinacria1956 It's pretty common knowledge that she's in Ukraine - especially when you tally up all the people who continually well-wish and pray for her safety.

[@genesmith555]

I love watching you work. It's like therapy for guitar nerds! Plus, I learn stuff. Thanks from Pegleg Monty!

[@och70]

I really respect the time and effort you put into making a new nut, instead of taking the easier route of just ordering a replacement.

[@micheloderso]

In a country in war times?

[@toastedphantom3007]

Often it's easier to make a new one from scratch than to make a premade one fit the instrument

[@och70]

@@micheloderso Sure. Just find someone who has friends in the corrupt government, and they can make it happen.

[@gene_takavic57]

I like the natural look of the wood. That neck has some beautiful grain! And it's a lefty! Yay!

[@YeTi2055]

I heard Ted Woodford mention you, it caught me by surprise how well known you are becoming ...well deserved

[@tetedur377]

Yeah, saw that video. Ted is a well-respected man about town. Bonus points for the cultural reference.

[@genesmith555]

I had found her before Ted mentioned her, but I was glad when he mentioned her if for nothing else, then to learn how to pronounce her name. 😅

[@TheOdizeo]

link to the episode please? :)

[@jwinnell]

Great job, Tanya! I couldn't be happier to be a mega patron of such a talented luthier and a really great person! I hope you're doing great!😊

[@timmillikan1155]

Your attention to detail and craftsmanship are second to none. Brilliant work.

[@1000foxtrot]

Yes ,,, without any doubt, Tanya is a very good craftsman - and so precise .. I love to see her work

[@jwv6985]

Hello again Tanya! Love the video. Always a pleasure to watch your skill in action. Take care 😊

[@rakentrail]

These were some of the most underrated basses! Nice to see you keeping these old workhorses alive!

[@Sammywhat]

Wow! Almost 200K subs!! That's impressive. I bet it happens before summer!! All the best to you, Tanya. And lovely work as always!!

[@petedazer3381]

Really nice work, so pleasant to watch you bring these back! Stay safe!

[@ליהואזיסברג]

Great job as always. These old basses are excellent quality and still show the Fender DNA, with the body design, the skunk strip on the neck and the somewhat triangular metal neck bolt plate. After all Leo Fender was involved in its design.

[@pedraw]

You do wonderful work Tanya...................stay safe.

[@johngallagher7884]

By far the best refret demonstration on the internet, with old school techniques. Bravo, I'm a subscriber. 🎉

[@jeffreyeagen4896]

Another beautiful job, Tanya! I didn't even notice it was a lefty until you put the new strings on!

[@mikemorrisonmusic]

Yes!! I’ve been waiting for a new video 😊

[@Cymbaline713]

Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new about guitar setup work.

[@ЕвгенийЧерный-ъ9р]

Спасибо Таня, отличная работа!!! И не только поэтому, ведь из твоих видео можно многому научиться! Всего самого доброго тебе, твоим родным и близким!!! Мирного неба над головой❤

[@MrSuperReege]

Nice job, Tanya. I really enjoy watching you bring older instruments back to their former glory🤘

[@ROCKNROLLMODS]

You can really see the fender influence in these early Music Mans. Always very much enjoy your videos. You haven't been alive long enough to be as good as you are! Keep it up! Thank you as always!

[@blaine1987]

What a great project! Finished bass looks incredible! Good work!

[@dcluthier]

It's great to see you working on those imstruments.❤

[@steveroberts]

Great job as usual Tanya. Well done

[@ManfredStelzer-z8r]

Thanks for showing the method of grinding the saddle radius with the sandpaper on the fingerboard.

[@bDoom88]

I asolutely love all of your videos. Thank you!

[@franciscooper.retired]

I tripped over your channel while surfing the net. I was interested in what you did. I like the Musicman Stingray bass and I have one of my own. It's a instrument that's never let me down. I've had it quite a few years now and I will never part with it, it plays so well. Keep the channel open so I can see what work you're going. Thanks for the entertaining format of your workshop.

[@vovinacci]

This gentleman on the workbench looks familiar. Many thanks for fixing the neck curve with the fretwork :)

[@stealingtomorrowband]

Hellz to the yeaaaaa... Tanya always give the bassists love and attention

[@sylvaind9086]

The "mirror frets" lady never disapoints! - Love the pink tape.😄👍🏻

[@xoxb2]

There's some very nice grain on that fingerboard. You can tell that you're still getting new viewers, because they're still asking the old question!

[@Jakenstein9]

You do good work. You kept the authenticity of the original but made it playable (and clean) again. Gail Ann Dorsey would play that. I like your fingernails!

[@supahfuzz]

As with all Fenders and also these Leo Fender era instruments up to 1982, the frets were installed sideways! So in order to keep the board intact one needs to remove the frets sideways as well. And you can get lucky as well. Great work. !

[@daviddaniels6473]

Beautiful work Tanya!

[@davidclark3603]

You're very good at this. I have learned loads. Thanks!

[@melanie_kujat]

Really great work on this left hand bass. And this time also the nut was right (or left) notched 🙃 - love you and your work 🥰

[@chrisdiana3525]

Now hang on. We are all here obviously to see your attention to detail, excellent craftswomanship and the occasional injury to your hands but we're also here to see what the heck is going to be on your fingernails ... 🧐

[@RRW276]

I thought I was the only one! I showed my wife and told her to get some 3d something on her nails 💅. But she’s in charcoal only phase.

[@franzmuller3396]

Whats on her nails?

[@fordsrestorations970]

Obviously some people don't know about fingernail styles , or tattoos. Musicians will use fake finger nails if they wear their fingernails off plucking guitar strings , I don't use a guitar pick and I have that problem , fake fingernails come in all styles and even mini Masterpiece oil paintings or Hot Rod Pinstriping .

[@pabloganguly6867]

Wow, It explained the work of art.I wish if you live in india, I would take workshop classes from you.Great job🤟🏻

So perfect..thank you for the great video

[@sandeman1776]

I recently bought a LVOV bass. It's from 1982 and the neck is warped to the treble side. Needs refretting too. Just the tiniest frets ever. Very narrow neck, but very chunky on the back. The neck by itself feels like a small baseball bat. It has a valute that creates the V shaped neck. Very different experience than what I'm used to.

[@ausubo50]

Tanya, a suggestion, get an arbor press with flat and curved dies to press the frets to the board. That way you won't need to hammer them in.

[@slacker42uk]

Excellent work.

[@tonyosmer8459]

My Hero !🙂

[@alexdeleon7135]

Well done! A re-fret on a maple board can present many issues. You managed to pull the frets out cleanly, and the slots did not require anything more than a light sanding. I hope to see another episode soon. Glory to Ukraine!

[@eagarde]

Very expert work

[@birdandcatlover5597]

Yay!! This is the kind of bass i play, so im interested in seeing the set up of it Edit: mine is much newer, so there have some notable differences. I have 3 screws in the neck plate thing, the truss rod is adjusted at the body on mine, and i also have the one with a jatoba fretboard. Also i play the “sterling model, so its cheaper

[@Nherdvous]

When yer hammering the frets down, you always do two hits on each side before the final hits. I always hear "Take that, take that!" on those first hits. lol!

[@jimsuber6784]

Lot's of DNA on that one.

[@slimjim3229]

Nice work, I really like your nails this time. Hope you are doing good.

[@BobHolland1949]

Reminds me of my old 1978 Stingray but mine was right handed & in worse condition than that one. Miss that bass now. Preamp became noisy. The are covered with epoxy. So they couldn't be copied or repaired.
