This Bass was in my hands before but it only required a very fast intonation, setup was ok. In the meantime the customer installed much thicker strings without a proper setup, and went back to another set, so it had to be redone.

Romanian Strat (Madrigal) Rewiring
* A Romanian Madrigal strat came back for a rewiring.
I also mounted a split switch for both the DiMarzio DP151 Paf Pro in the bridge and the neck DiMarzio DP217 HS4 (Malmsteen model one).
I actually like the HS4 in the true single coil mode much more.

Works great now

Epiphone SG Special general work
* An Epiphone SG Special came if for some general work:
-swapped the bridge humbucker (which I had to modify with longer wires as they were previously cut short and also custom fabricate some new ears, because the screw holes were stripped)
-also mounted a new input jack because the old one was faulty
-setup with some nut adjustments
-fretwire made shiny and the grindy feeling is now gone

EP Booster Modded clone (120th pedal built)
* Another EP Booster Modded clone (120th pedal built)
This time I used a custom finish on the enclosure(had it for myself but the customer liked it and I used it on his project).
Volume Boost, Tone Cut, 3 way bass switch, 9V->18V internal

The mod: Basically, you replace the 47nf input cap with a 3 way dpdt on off on, in the middle you put a 470 PF cap, on one side a 561 pf one, and on the other the stock 47n.
You replace the 3k3 and 4k7 of the two 2n5457 transistors, with 1K and 1K. Perfect!
