Well I finally dug it out of the cupboard! My first bass! That wasn’t a shite hand me down knock off P-Bass….Oh wait!. Complete with ‘Oh shit’ dings 🙂
Shall be my fixerupperererer since I’m just starting to get into that sorta thing. An old-ish Stagg with an alder body and a maple neck for which I paid the pretty sum of £110 about 4 years ago. The funny thing is it’s actually really nice to play.
The pots were a bit knackered and scratchy so I replaced them, I sorted the intonation(ish) and a few other niggly bits, the only let down is the pickups (Which I shall be replacing) and some bastard decided to use a really thick laquer on the back of the neck so it gets sticky especially with sweaty hands and just really doesn’t feel nice.
What would be the best way about doing a proper job of getting rid of it? I thought of sanding it down (start rough just to get the shit off and then smooth it out with a high grit paper) and a thin coat of sanding sealer. Any advice on this would be great, not that I can make it much worse than it already is 🙂
