For any fans of The Repair Shop have a look at last Wednesday's episode in which I restore a mid-60's Fender Jazz bass. The bass was owned by Tony Wilson, founding member of the band Hot Chocolate. The bass was in a poor condition and needed a re-fret, work on the back of the neck which had suffered quite serious damage, replacement of the Fender decal, overhaul of the wiring circuit and a good clean. Hours of work condensed down to 15 minutes in the show! Here's a link to Series 4 Episode 18.

An enjoyable watch that, OP thanks!
But was with the massive Fret Buzz at the end??
Based on how many threads around here go along the lines of ‘vintage stuff is overpriced’ I’m surprised so many people are commenting on the loss of originality
What would be the alternative? Tell him to run a duster over it and hang it on a wall?
Having watched the show anyway for a couple of series now, I've always wondered ... do the experts do all the work in that barn, having to transport all your their tools to it? Or was most of your work actually done back at your workshop?
Congratulations on being involved,
Great job!
