ESP LTD B-206SM [11.4 lbs] :: six string bass setup

ESP LTD B-206SM [11.4 lbs] :: six string bass setup with D'Addario EXL170-6 nickel wound strings.  This thing is a beast!

While working on the bass I found that the E string's tuner split post was squeezed together and broke upon removing the string.  The broken tuner still functions, but I wanted to get the bass back to the player over the holidays while sourcing a replacement in "Cosmo Black".

Late 60's Gibson Trini Lopez Standard [8.7 lbs] :: refret & bad pots

Late 60's Gibson Trini Lopez Standard [8.7 lbs] :: refret & bad pots

This guitar had the deepest fingerboard divots I have ever seen.  These divots were addressed along with receiving new frets.  The pots were dirty as well since the "control cavity" is exposed to the elements on hollow guitars.  When attempting to pull the harness to clean it I was surprised to find that the knobs were glued on!  The neck volume pot broke upon removal and the bridge volume was replaced as well due to a bad taper.

Look for a blog post with more details sometime next month.
