Beautiful! The color you chose is perfect with that aged pick guard. Nicely done.

[@bettthompson4733]

You started with a beat up scratched and just dirty bass that hasn’t see any love. But now my friend the bass is sporting a new paint job and deep cleaning new strings and it a beautiful guitar”bass” that anyone would be proud of playing! It sounds wonderful too. Thanks for sharing with us Peace Out 🤟🎸❤️ 36:50

At first, I couldn't believe that you were polishing the screws - then I saw the results, and recognized that was going to make the bass easier to use and repair, so it was worth the effort! It's a great-looking instrument, and I haven't even gotten to the repaint portion of the program.

[@DeaseNootz]

Polished screws have absolutely no benefit as far as easier to use and repair. Wtf are you babbling about?

This is an abandoned 1975 instrument. For years, exposed to nicotine staining from cigarette smoke in a bar, club or practice space. Then stored for 40+ years in a garage, barn, basement or tool shed.

I love this bass! I would've never have thought to use that cream/aged pearl pickguard but it works and looks so good with that dark brown. I might have to get a 70s CV Squier in that reddish brown and use a similar pickguard. Great work! Sub'd

[@soulsilver6799]

nice fake painted rust

[@Erock-bs9ur]

Here's a tip for your next "restoration". Don't rust the screws all the way through, just the exposed head. That will make it more believable, There are several more give-ways here, but we'll start small.

[@deaterk]

Erock1970 - agreed! Totally fake ‘restoration’.

[@twistedender3577]

I think its a little suspicious that there aren't any cracks in the body from moisture freezing and expanding the wood. Also the paint isn't worn and the wood edges are crisp and sharp. I'd love to know where you found this bass cause as of right now, it looks like you just smeared a bunch of shit all over it and left it to sit for a couple days.

faaaakeeeee..... se nota que no es real... la tornilleria de un instrumento que se supone esta asi como al principop del video queda tan pegado que en el 80% de los casos hay que cambiarlos y nunca quedan impolutos... porque el moho hace estragos en los cromados... y en la madera por muy tapado se opaca no tiene brillo... he restaurado instrumentos por mas de 8 años y siempre pasa lo mismo

[@RexVergstrong]

Exacto. No tienen polvillo, si se oxidan, se oxidan en color rojo y el metal está tan malo que hay que agujerear la cabeza de los tornillos para sacarlos.

Another fake restoration ....the dirt on the headstock and fingerboard was so even that it could only have been sprayed on and it came clean so easily where did the dents and gouges on the body go you did not sand them out or fill them some of them were very deep but they all vanished as if by magic as the saying goes ...you ca fool some of the people some of the time etc..

[@grantkoeller8911]

[@Stirling62]

When you walk past his bass, listen carefully! You will hear a little voice saying 'thank you' !

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

Did you find this at the bottom of a lake?! How on earth does a guitar get this dirty...looks amazing. Love the stain on the body.

[@chriswareham]

It's very humid in Japan, and that causes the "patina" that you see on the metal parts as well as helping dirt to stick to the instrument if it is stored carelessly for a long time. I've bought several old Greco bass guitars from Japan, and despite looking like they had been well cared for they still had some of the same signs of humidity on things like the bridge and tuners.

[@diegoibarra3954]

So there are a number of reasons on why this is almost certainly fake: 1) What on earth is that brown thing tha have only the neck and the headstock and doesn't have the body? Spray tan? 2) Have you ever seen "rusty" screws coming out that easily? 3) The scratching pattern in the back. Everyone who has played an instrument knows how it scratches with the use and never is only at the bottom like that. My best guess: he purchased a functioning 2nd hand bass, tie it to the back of a car and drove it out to scratch it, after that he let it outside for a couple of weeks and that's it, fake tan, much dirt and a little rust and he have the perfect bass to """restore""".

[@thesteamycreamofdualjabbar6486]

When he took the scratchplate off and the electronics looked almost brand new was a give away too. Also when he took the knobs off and it was completely clean under them.

[@danmacdonald4494]

And if the guitar was in such bad shape he would have rewind the pickups. Clearly this guy just cleans up his mess and puts them back together. No way in hell those pickups would be in usable condition

[@VesaGuardian]

I´m sorry, but I´m beginning to see a re-occurring pattern in how your instruments look before restoration. They are way too similar. That is odd, if not completely impossible.

[@twistedender3577]

Further more, if the steel slugs in the pickups were that bad that you had to wire brush them, then I'm assuming you replaced the corroded copper wire coils off camera as they would have been well damaged and corroded beyond repair and would have sounded the same as the beginning. Unless you somehow restored the thousands of feet of copper wire thinner than human hair then re wound it properly. No, I don't think so.

[@THRobinson]

I dunno... these vids all seem like they're staged. Every time I see one, it's totally covered in dirt. Not even a clean spot where the arm rested. All look borderline water damaged or something. One or two, fine... but there are dozens on this account. Kinda thinking they're fine when bought then made dirty to make it look like more a miracle than it is.

Applause for the fine work you're doing. You've given me ideas. For the body (It appears to be alder, maybe) prior to applying the stain, give it 1 or 2 coats of Super Blonde Shellac (or sanding sealer-same thing). This will eliminate any splotching (uneven stain color) with the stain. Hope this helps.
