199 - This bass is (was) a NIGHTMARE! The worst we ever bought
About this episode
We all love our bass guitars, right? But what if your dream instrument sounds off? Or your longtime favorite bass isn’t playing as well as it did the day you bought it? By repairing instead of replacing, you can bask in the glory of knowing that you’re the kind of bassist who’s axe would survive an apocalypse movie. In today’s episode, Ian and Scott run through the basses they’ve transformed from duds into dream machines!
In this episode you’re going to learn:
Ian reveals the worst bass he’s ever bought (it’s not what you think)
Why Scott’s 1974 Jazz Bass behaves like the Millennium Falcon
Ian’s Gaffer tape hack for treating noisy pickups
Why it’s OK to invest in a bass that isn’t perfect
And much more.
