So refreshing watching these videos. No stupid, way-too-loud, unnecessary music, no stupid, way-too-useless comments...just a nice peaceful video....kind of an ASMR thing happening! And Tanya is such a great luthier. Keep up the excellent work!!

[@micheloderso]

Ein wunderschönes Instrument. Jetzt ist es wieder in Top Form. Danke Frau Shpachuk.👍🎸

[@that_thing_I_do]

There's always a degree of comfort in watching you trim away the glue at the frets with your chisel. Just love it.

[@daviddaniels6473]

Wow!! I am a bass player and Fender fan. I have never seen one of those in person! Thank you for posting!

I bought a Telecaster Elite in 1983. It came with push buttons and a smaller pick guard. I altered it to regular Telecaster specs. I still have it!

[@richsackett3423]

Not in person here either.

[@ptrisonic]

All of these tend to be heavy - I like the sound of the Elit Strat though.@@audiotechlabs4650

[@nuryruso4525]

This not a joke; I am a guitar player, my wife is a nail artist. We both watch your videos for very different reasons! Haha

[@DennyBob521]

You do such fine and detailed work, if I lived nearby you would be my luthier of choice. There is something peaceful and captivating about watching you work. I have a 1985 Fender Stratocaster from the same series. The E serial number indicates it was made in Japan by FujiGen, the same people who make the highest Ibanez J-Craft models now. They are amazing instruments.

[@OldRunt]

Captivating, indeed. I feel the same way.

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Guitar player here, love the headstock, actually the whole 🎸.... love the color combination ❗️👍

[@Rifff3]

The owner of that Bass first response should be... WOW!!, I know That was my response at the end of this video. You are very skilled. Love it.❤👍

[@jeffreyeagen4896]

Wonderful seeing beauty restored to a wonderful instrument. Nothing like a beautiful Fender P bass, even though I have a G&L. Great job, Tanya!

[@dcraft969]

I think this the first I’ve seen a Bass on anyone’s table….very awesome. By the way Tanya, you do pretty work.

[@lanzarlaluna]

She worked on a Fender Jazz bass a few months ago.

[@JohnBarrow1961]

That is a beautiful bass and it cleaned up perfectly. The neck, headstock and fingerboard look spectacular. Great job, Tanya.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

What a way to kick off 2024! That's a lovely bass and you really did it justice, Miss Tanya. Happy New Year to you and yours, and may this year be better for your country as well!

[@fraenkiboii]

Wow what a beautiful bass, I’d play that one all day long and I’m a guitar player. Two heroes in this video: Tanya and the super glue. I mean look at the crack in the fretboard, it’s just gone! What really amazed me tho is the touch up you did with the glue on the sides of the fretboard! 02:04 So cool to watch how the glue just perfectly goes wherever you need it to be. Magic! 🦄

[@sclg560]

Ah thank goodness the best channel on KZbin is back on the air. I spruced up my dad’s old 60 Epiphone Olympic while I visited him this weekend, was inspired by videos like this.

[@ousley421]

[@paulwilson6421]

Hey Tanya, I brought in the new year playing a gig last night, but this is was the best way to top it off, perfect as usual! You know I try to never look at the length of your videos because I don’t want to know how soon it’s going to end, Happy New Year, Paul from Canada.

I found your channel awhile ago now and I'm happy to see it's still growing. Happy New years!! And may this year be good luck for you and your family!

[@harleyhexxe9806]

I'm glad to see a new video from you, as it tells me you are all safe and well after reading about the attack on Kyiv last week. That is a beautiful bass guitar, and you did a great job on it. I noticed you filled in the crack on the fret board with super glue. I've been using lemon oil on the fret boards of all my guitars that have rosewood or ebony for several years now, and that will close those cracks completely as the wood drinks up the lemon oil. I apply that to my guitars with rosewood once or twice a year to keep them in good condition. It works wonderfully, and I would recommend this to all owners of guitars with rosewood fret boards. I do have a question since I own a 1983 Elite Stratocaster; What did you use to whiten the pickup covers on that bass, acetone? That turned out very well. Take care, and be safe and Happy New Year to all of you there.

[@dangerousXS]

Once more, your patience and skill are wonderful to behold.

[@ceboz]

A Great job for a great instrument 👍🏼 Thank you and Happy 2024!

[@Ronno4691]

The 2015 (?) Blacktop Fender Precision bass also had two split-coil P-bass pickups.... I cannot imagine what a bridge split coil Fender must sound like. Excellent video, Tanya

[@FamasCrow]

I’ve borrowed a Fender Jazz Bass Blacktop with two p pickups recently. The sound of both pickups on full and combinations of them are very interesting, but the bridge p position isn’t that good. It would work better if it was reversed, cuz G and D strings are too trebly and you get that very annoying clank (especially when popping) and overall inconsistency of strings sound

[@grumblyone3334]

Beautiful bass. Really thought you were going to do a full-on refretting, but after seeing it all sanded/filed down, that made more sense. Nice job.

[@joaquincuervo6943]

Fantastic work, Tanya! You are truly an artist 🙂

[@timedwards5600]

Fender made a special pbass solid rosewood neck about 2018 and it was also awesome. The tone was amazing.

[@ritualafterlife]

Your chisel work is mesmerizing.

[@TanyaShpachuk]

thank you

[@samlelowitch]

I used to own one of these (black/maple) with just regular chrome hardware. Nice basses!

[@bill29-g3b]

Your fingernails have become one of your trademarks. I always know it's another Tanya video by your fingers. I've played for decades, but, never knew much of anything else about the guitar. You are an accomplished luthier. I learn alot by watching you work. Your patience and experience speak volumes in your craft. Cheers.

[@codelicious6590]

What a beautiful instrument! I dont think Ive ever even thought that of a Fender before either, they have always seemed more utilitarian to me.

[@MarkOxley-vo3kq]

Your videos are amazing, I love working on guitars. I fix or build them for friends. I learn new things from you. Thank you ❤

[@jaywebb3105]

That is such a nice bass

[@shadowghst7704]

Watching you lay out that CA glue, accompanied by the sound of the sander was hilarious!

[@THRobinson]

I saw an early '80s candy apple green with gold and pearl hardware elite Strat once back in 1993, and it's top 5 on my dream guitar list. Sadly will never happen, they are hard to find and not cheap.

[@i.duhourq2519]

subscribed. I love repairs for chilling and relaxing time, you do a wonderful job

[@petrekguitars]

This Fender Elite Basses are so rare and really innovativ...actually back in the Days one of the modern ones. The Walnut Bass and Body combination makes it sound so warm and smooth. I like it... Bets Regards Nik

[@internetuser5286]

Love your videos!

[@jvin248]

Looks very nice! Stopped by when I saw the thumbnail using the old measure past the post and cut the string method. A roadie showed me a better way, you may want to try it yourself: Bring the string from the bridge up to the post and wrap it from 'the bottom up' (in the post hourglass) and thread the hole/slot, tug the string taught and tune up, snip off the excess wire clean. The roadie would change strings on dozens of guitars a night every night on tour and he found it faster and more accurate than the pre-cutting method and just as fast as locking tuners.

[@mal-malych]

It is not bass, It is a dream👍👍👍

[@normm7764]

Very nearly bought one of these new back in the day. Lovely instrument with stunning looks. At the last moment I noticed a warp in the neck and this stopped me. The neck was made from an unusual wood (walnut?). Not what you’d expect from an instrument of this price.

Well worked with an exceptionally clean result.

[@grahamwhitcher1454]

Amazing work Tanya! Looks beautiful

[@firebird8600]

Wow! That bass looks amazing!

[@panzerlieb]

These are very rare! The reason is because people at the time unjustifiably hated them and the line was prominently dropped. Add to that Fender was sold the next year and the new company had to severely cut their product line to get themselves back on their feet. There are several other things about the sale that also contributed to the Fender Elite product line being killed off. But long story short, because of the circumstances at Fender when the Elites were released, they are now some of the more rare Fenders out there. This is definitely a guitar worth Tanya’s love and attention.

[@tylerswanson6431]

[@oobie3049]

It makes me sad that Fender hasn't given us anything this special in a very long time. I'm sick of their lack of innovation. Not the horrible Gibson kinda innovation (e. g. robot tuners and whatnot), but this kinda stuff. This bass is spectacular. The most special bass that I have is a ruby red metallic Squier 40th Anniversary Jazz Bass, which looks (and feels) way better than any Fender I've ever played. I want more of that kinda designs!

[@TheHirade]

[@jaredmouro4952]

Gorgeous bass and an amazing job as always! Wish I could afford to send my guitars to Kyiv, because one of them could use a new finger board.

[@rnemchev]

[@offbeatbassgear]

Snipping the strings in thirds is a lot easier when removing the strings from a bass, pulling them out through the bridge risks having the string windings mar the finish.
