He did a good job except I disagree with his approach with dealing with gouge in the neck. If it was me I would have preferred the gouge to be filled instead of shaved so that the neck remained exactly the same in terms of width and shape.

@hs5942 9 месяцев назад

Exactly

Tell me a wood filler that would work ,long term and feel right...

@Fred_Free 2 года назад

It would have been a good idea to also show the whole guitar and the completed job at the end of the video. 🙂

How many bass players to change a light bulb…20…one to do it and 19 to tell him why he did it wrong

@erockscott1184 Год назад

Wow...shaving the neck!!!????....fill it!!!!...the neck is probably NOTHING like the guy liked it its all different now...just wow..i would NEVER have done that unless the owner said ok.

@user-ve4ig6pw1s 8 месяцев назад

Maybe he suggested the "shaving the neck" process to Mr. Franklin, and he gave his consent? You people are so quick to make assumptions.

@user-ve4ig6pw1s it's because guitar players are weird.

Back in the 70's I appeared on tv with my band in Berlin alongside with Hot Chocolate. The bass player from HC was the only person from the band who would talk to us. He was a really nice man. Good luck to him!

Who uses the bridge cover??

@chrisseaman5055 2 года назад

I bet the frets worked just fine. no mention of the electronics? Why would he shave down the neck? That gouge could have been filled I think.

@theceramicrepairstudio 2 года назад

Really great restoration. 👍

my favorite part was when i got to see the entire guitar finished an restored!!!!! oh wait . . . . . . . . . .

@hs5942 9 месяцев назад

Nice he just ruined the vintage neck

@nosbig11 2 года назад

Terrible job,shouldnt have touched that neck except filling it. He made the neck like new then decided to 'relic' the bridge cover???

@ryanwood6407 2 года назад

Ok Terry. Looks great to me! Isn't it obvious.. the neck is essential for the guitar to play well. Hence the body was left and the bridge was made to match.

@nosbig11 2 года назад

@@ryanwood6407 After 45 yrs as a luthier I went cold when he took a spokeshave to the neck. Could have been filled with cyno and smoothed.

@joanbennettnyc 2 года назад

Wonderful

@grantkoeller8911 9 месяцев назад

He was totally wrong to shave the neck!!!!!! You fill the neck gouge with wood putty or wood filler!!!;;

@grantkoeller8911 9 месяцев назад

Nothing wrong with those old frets!!!!

@themobseat 2 месяца назад

He just destroyed the neck profile by shaving off the wood. What a hack.

@brucesahroian1482 2 года назад

One Secret to fast frets on a electric bass?! Use Banjo Frets?

@user-ve4ig6pw1s 8 месяцев назад

I don't understand why some bass players don't know how to take care of their instruments, especially if you're a pro and you can afford to pay someone to keep your gear in top-notch condition. I worked with a luthier for 2 years, and I learned how to keep my basses in great condition. I can do my own fret jobs, intonations, and electronics upgrades.

@ChrisHopkinsBass 7 месяцев назад

People criticising the luthier shaving the neck. I can’t see how else that could be fixed as it’s quite a nasty gouge.

@themobseat 2 месяца назад

Wood putty

@1972LittleC 7 месяцев назад

I don't know about the neck, but I would DEFENITLY wouldn't have put the tins back on. Bass players throw it off for a reason...

Wow i love this!! Wow, you need to research P-R-O-M-O-S-M!!

@juiceplanet147 2 года назад

Are there any stories other than Caucasian stories? Repair is a small part.

@Edward1312 2 года назад

Yes there are many episodes that feature people from different cultures and Races.

@a1topdog 2 года назад

Juice Planet, what part of this video made you jump to the conclusion it was a Caucasian story? If you bothered to check out the full episode you would have found out it belonged to the bass player of the 70s band Hot Chocolate, who last time I checked was a Trinidadian.

@geebeeman1 2 года назад

Why worry about that?!

@ManuelaPatzel 2 года назад

What a strange thing to say, considering the owner of the bass guitar is not Caucasian at all.

@paddy878mh 2 года назад

It's called the repair shop, yet you say "Repair is a small part"? And if you were a watcher of the series you would know that whilst the majority of the craftsmen and women may be caucasian, the clientele bringing artefacts into the Repair Shop are hugely diverse. The USP of these videos are the skills of the repairers. If you want the full feel for the diversity of the programme, I suggest you watch the full episodes for the complete journey of each artefact. This show is a gem!
