An electric bass with a broken neck was cleaned and repaired. 

After using the wood dye to colour match the neck repair, it would be best to removes the masking tape from the back of the neck before the clear coat. You can mist coat to either side of the repair to blend more seamlessly with the original lacquer and avoid the hard line that was left by the masking.

This bass is absolutely beautiful! I'll never understand people putting stickers on wonderful instruments like this... Awesome restoration as always, especially for the broken headstock, you did a great job here.

前のオーナーはパンクスでガーゼとかのステッカーが貼ってあるくらいだから結構なおっさんと見た ネックは折れてるというか昔よく見かけたスカーフジョイントってやつですね

Dear Friend, thank you so much for this video ! I was not aware that an Epiphone Flying V has been produced. As usual, you demonstrate an incredible skill, with calm and patience : the repair and the revarnishing of the neck are daring and fabulous, also the overall restoration is outstanding ! Thanks again, see you next video...

Quick tip, i always use parchment paper when gluing up a joint. That way your block wont become glued too in case to much glue squeezes out.

I love how tranquil these videos feel due to the lack of any background music of sounds.

I don't know who's trashing all these guitars, but it sure is fun watching you bring them back.

I have done this with several garage sale guitars even one I saw sticking out of a dumpster at our apartment building! Gave all but one to kids that wanted to learn but could not afford a guitar!

90年代後半から2000年代初頭に販売されていたコリーナ材を使用していたモデルですね。これは後期型だと思いますが。 安価ですが人気で市場に出ることがあまりないモデルですので修理してもらってベースも喜んでると思います。

I was so happy to see those stickers come off of there. 😄 I've never played an Epiphone but I had no idea they made a flying V bass. Beautiful instrument, amazing work.

How you rescued that head was excellent work. The bass solo put that head to its test.

Given the tools you have, or in this case don't have, you do spectacular work. I personally would have refinished the entire neck, but I suspect you did it that way to show its battle scars. I also appreciate that you left all of its wear and tear intact, choosing to clean, instead of completely refinishing. With regard to the pick guard, may I suggest dipping it in a bath of hydrogen peroxide and exposing it to UV light; it will completely remove all of the yellowing and make it white again. Well done, it plays beautifully.

I like that you let alot of the old character remain on the instruments you repair.

Outstanding restoration, as usual! I gotta say though, that Tragedy sticker would have stayed if it was up to me 😎

I'm pickin up "guitar player trying to play bass" vibes at the end.

Nice work for what you did. Kind of wish you'd have gone all the way and refinished the body, and maybe even touched up the headstock.

Love the cup to remove the post technique.

How could someone trash such a beautiful bass?😭 Thankfully you restored it

Awesome work but, I noticed you didn't replace the missing truss rod. Hopefully the neck won't twist too bad over time.

I'm a bass player and didn't even know epiphone made a flying v bass lol. I've never been a fan of playing that shape, but they do look cool. I'm also kind of surprised they used all brass hardware on it, even including the nut. It works on it.

DUDE!!! the ground wire wasnt in place when you hammered in the bridge pin!!! Nice work but why do a perfect refinish on the neck and not at least put some clearcoat on the big gouges outta the body?

Love the neck repair, however, it's not broken but seems to have disolved. Funny you use Tite-Bond in Japan, thougt Nippon has better stuff.

That trick with the tele cup socket and control plate is genius!

Naked Eggs is a fantastic band name. How did this have such a clean scarf joint break? It's almost like they just forgot to glue the head on.

Nice work! That neck was not broken. That is what’s known as a scarf joint and it looks to me like it just came unglued.

that Tragedy sticker tells me all I need to know about this beauty's crust punk past haha. wonderful work!

Beautiful Job. The neck dive on that has to be legendary.

Brilliant restoration, but you missed a few bits on the end of the bass, I'd of had to sort that bit of scruffed wood out

olfa exacto knife, Ive been using mine 12 years

Great job especially fixing the broken neck.. Nice bass..

That's a really nice repair and the use of the dye just made perfect sense. Really nice technique on this one. Cheers!

Pretty awesome base even before restoration

Cool V! The body wood looks like Philippine Mahogany I made a coffee table out of once?

Awesome video. You should have at least left that Tragedy sticker on there.

Excellent restoration!!!

this is my dream guitar!

I love your videos. They are so satisfying too to watch, and educational for someone like me who likes to see “how stuff works”.

Welp it had a Van Halen sticker on it, now you gotta put a kahler whammy bar on it, and play eruption.

Thats one clean scarf joint break.😮

Do you keep every guitar you restore? How many do you have now? Love your work and your channel!

Espero con ansias todos los días un vídeo nuevo.. Muy bien trabajo como siempre

A Flying V bass? That looks so cool.

Great job! Beautiful guitar!

Outstanding work. What a beautiful old V bass.

Awesome work! I love these restorations 💯

Nice work but didn’t see the ground replaced?

was the break in the scarf joint seems suck a clean break

You're never gonna have that problem with a Fender. The curse of the broken Gibson neck or headstock. You'd think after all the decades of breakage Gibson would try and correct the problem. I guess it's Gibson's tradition in guitar design. Nice repair job! Unfortunately no matter how well the repair job is, they're never quite the same after.

10:14 ここが気持ち良すぎる笑笑

งานคุณเนี้ยบมาก ทำไมใชภาษาไทยครับ นึกว่าอยู่ไทยจะเอาเบสไปทำความสะอาด

A lovely job of restoration...I was wondering if you had planned the body repair later i.e. surface chips

GORILAZ Bass. A beautiful restoration 🙏 Be a great bass to play. Sugoi Arigato ✌️🇦🇺

Very nice neck fix! Beautiful bass

The brass scratchplate screws are very pretty, but look just a tiny bit oversized to me. I guess its very hard to get the exact right ones. Maybe a little more countersinking on the 'plate could sit them more flush? Anyway looks nice. Was longing to hear it played solidly with a pick at the end!

Not a broken neck, it was just an unglued neck, there is a big difference.

Beautiful repair

why do people put stickers on their guitars? they always look worse than before. thank you for throwing them into the bin, it looks beautiful now

neck break a bit too clean??

GAUZE、Exclaim、D.S.B、NAKED YEGGS、etc… 貼ってあるステッカーから前所有者はハードコア界隈の人間ですな。

awesome restoration

Another incredible restoration.

This makes me want one of those. Nice work!

凄ーい！欲しいこのベース！ 私ギタリストですが(*^^*)

yet another outstanding piece of work. very well done

Came out great! I repair guitars in my spare time so many people freak out when they break a head stock. It's not the end of the world. I like it when it's a nice clean break at the scarf joint, glues up nice and if you are careful you can almost make it invisible. These old late 90s Epi Korina Flying Vs in great shape can run you around $2000.00 bucks it well worth repairing.

I love that bass You’re amazing

Best renaissance of a guitar so far! Are the metal parts brass or gold-plated?

Cleaned up nicely 😊

懐かしい。昔このエピフォンのVベ使ってました。カッコイイんだけどベースとしてはいまいちなんですよね。 ピックを使えばドライブ感はよく出るんだけど、低音域が物足りなかった。スラップもやりづらいしね。

Lots of wonderful work went into this restoration... at the end of it all it was unfortunately still a Gibson

앉은 상태에서 플라잉 V를 연주하려면 오른쪽 다리에 화살표처럼 노크를 놓으십시오.

Bennie and the Jets! Nice... How do you find so many screwed up guitars??

What a great job in this bass, congrats!!!!!

Gauze, Tomorrow and Exclaim? Someone has great taste in Japanese HC! ✌️

めっちゃすごい全然違う！！！！！

When I saw how badly off that poor thing's neck was, I was horrified! But I had faith in your skills and as always you came through and brought this thing back from the dead. Excellent work, and I liked the more jazz and funk oriented lines you were playing as well. その貧しいものの首がどれほどひどく離れているかを見たとき、私は恐ろしくなりました！しかし、私はあなたのスキルを信じていたので、いつものようにあなたはやって来て、このことを死から連れ戻しました。素晴らしい仕事、そして私はあなたが演奏していたより多くのジャズとファンク志向のラインが好きでした。

WOWWW HOW DID YOU FIND A FLYING V BASS?? IN BRAZIL ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONE, I NEED. good vídeo man, i love it

Beautiful job! And really cool bass!

The main value in the guitar is wood, everything else can be replaced. But the metal will gradually rise in price, there is less and less metal left in the world. I think in 100 years the guitar will be a very expensive commodity

Love the video, but seeing all the history in those stickers just being scrapped off and thrown away makes my heart hurt 😢

You sir are an artist!!!!!

I miss fret levelling in your videos, before i clean and polish, i always do a levelling job.

*Great ! Fantastic !!! 🙋🏻‍♂️🎸🔥🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷*

Cada episódio melhor que o outro 💥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💥 Como amo os contra baixos sempre fico aguardando por episódios Fantásticos como este!!! 🤜🏻Ⓜ️🤛🏻 🤜🏻🇧🇷🤛🏻

Looks beautiful !!

Love it... Great job Man...

Saludos y buenas noches desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 ¿tiene en tú colección o has limpiado una jay turser ?

You pretty much seem like you know what you are doing but you glue the nut to the rosewood of the fretboard not to the neck , that way if you need to take the nut back off you can just put a piece of wood in front of the nut and gently tap it and it will pop off with out taking any wood from the neck

That's another restoration. I've been copying some of your techniques step by step, especially the fret cleaning and polishing, and I have to say it works great. This particular Epiphone bass is well worth restoring and looks amazing. Considering that headstock/neck break was clean, I'm assuming just decent wood glue will suffice? I know some luthiers will go as far as to start installing bolts and then hiding them underneath the wood and completely covering up the break, but I feel like your break was clean that it'll hold. Anyway, great restoration!

Such a big body of that bass.

Where are you found this guitars???

Question: where do you find these guitars and basses in such need of a clean-up and repair?

Another awesome job on a sadly neglected classic icon.

magnifico hermano estaba todo pegao viendolo

Contra baixo do Murdoc dos Gorillaz ❤

So, it's failed scarf joint.

interesting bass..with brass nut and a nice wood..also, there is a clear indicator why the neck broke..the grain pattern is exactly the same as the breaking angle, maybe it would be a good idea to strengthen the area with carbon stripes

Your major flaw was to NOT use splines to repair the headstock. Other than that, beautiful restoration.

The use of some of the tools when disassembling the instrument, almost made me sick 😱 And I would highly recommend a fret levelling after a neck repair… Just to polish the frets will not do it, when it comes to playability! And to achieve that kind of gloss on the laquer and the pick guard, without a machine, seems very unlikely. Also the ”gold” on the hard ware usually is so thin that if it is corrided, it polishes of…

it s a korean one ?
