[SOLVED] Aria CSB-380 - advice (seriously) appreciated!
gary mac replied to dominininic's topic in Repairs and Technical
It was in General Discussion, so I moved it to here. -
If you're talking about playing this with the band that we've both been in, then it wouldn't have been your fault😂
-
Who knows how long this is going to go on, or which venues will survive.

My feeling is that we have a moral responsibility to cancel the gigs that are booked in for the next few months. Not sure my band mates are in agreement though.

Most Epiphones that I get to work on, are usually decent instruments but nearly always let down by poor electronics. My recommendation would be to install new pots, wiring, socket and capacitor and enjoy a much better sounding and a very much more reliable instrumen

Help needed setting the action at the nut
gary mac replied to markdavid's topic in Repairs and Technical
Take the bridge screws out. Get some decent wood glue in the holes pop in some cocktail sticks, carefully cut them off flush. Put the bridge back in place and pop the screws back in before the glue sets. Find yourself another repair man for any future jobs. -
Squier James Johnson Jazz - rattle on my rod!?
gary mac replied to Zummerbass's topic in Repairs and Technical
If you haven't already, then have a check of the truss rod nut. It may have worked loose. -
On the days that I work, it's setting up, repairing, modding guitars and basses.

Love his playing, especially on What Were Once Vices are Now Habits album. Rock bass with a great sense of groove and funk.

New Bass restoration project Day! And diary
gary mac replied to uk_lefty's topic in Repairs and Technical
When I was repairing one of these for a customer a while back, I found an online supplier of those pickups. Can't recall the name at the moment, sorry. If it turns out that you do need the pickup replaced, let me know and I'll try to find it. Or maybe a google search will find it for you. -
Do you cut your strings? Why or why not?
gary mac replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
The only time that I don't cut is when installing the G & D in a flat wound set. Other than that I install the same way that others have detailed. -
Removing felt tip without damaging the finish

My upcoming Newcastle Arena gigs... a kind-of diary thread
gary mac replied to wateroftyne's topic in General Discussion
Have a great day Michael. -
I would say that's enough, so long as you are definitely going in to the timber studs.

EU artists will need a VISA to perform in UK from 2021
gary mac replied to kyuuga's topic in General Discussion
To remain open, this thread needs to move away from politics, however, given the subject matter, I doubt that can really happen. Hovering over the lock.............but for now it stays. -
Sounds like a fine idea.

Nice one Clarky, that does look cool

How difficult is it to do a fret dressing?
gary mac replied to markdavid's topic in Repairs and Technical
I do one or two a week and therefore know how to proceed. I'm sure that if you are confident with tools and have some ability to control said tools, then you will be capable. It might be an idea to watch some videos on the subject and then have a trial run on a donor neck. If you want any specific instructions, happy to help. -
I get it from Posh Guitars. Use it on all of my instruments and just about every one of my customer's instruments.

Looks interesting, hope you enjoy.
