Squier Strat fix

* Fixed the solder joints on the input jack and also tightened it heavily

Bugera V22 Infinium repair

* Fixed a Bugera V22 Infinium

A tube failed (I measured it with my Sencore TC136 Tube Tester and it had 2 shorts, and everything was out of spec), and had completely desoldered one of the screen grid resistors right off the PCB, leaving it rattling around in the amp!
I replaced both, and to be easier for future service if it is needed, I mounted them on the other side, so that these are easily desoldered  (not needing to take out the whole PCB)

 

 

Carl Martin Octaswitch

* A Carl Martin Octaswitch came in with some issues on the DC Jack.
I replaced it with a new one, and also tightened all the switches/jacks + electro cleaned

The buffer part is not working when it is on (no sound), but the owner needs it and it will come back at a later point to investigate. This would also take up a lot of time for finding the fault as the PCB is quite big

 

 

 

Ferrite EQ Repair

* Repaired a Ferrite EQ

Epiphone LP Standard

Epiphone LP Standard came in for some work:

-general setup + nut slots filed

-tuners had to be tightened

-fretwire made smoother to the touch and shined

-electro parts cleaned (stock wiring was decent enough)

Squier Classic Vibe 50's Strat

 * Did some work on a Squier Classic Vibe 50's Strat: 

-guitar is a leftie but the owner is right handed, and he wanted to use it right handed, so I swapped the nut for a right handed one, and adjusted everything accordingly;


-the usual setup with the trem made floating;

-gave the fretwire some shine;

-electronics were good stock; 

70's Musicmaster Bass

* Some work on a beat up 70's Musicmaster Bass ( the neck is original but I think the body was replaced long ago with something else).

-had the neck refretted/cleaned/lacquered at a local luthier in my country, because it had extended fretwire damage; (thank you Mr. Eugen Cretu!)
-did a full setup/derusted/replaced all screws/cleaned everything (this was a very very messy and unplayable instrument prior to everything);
-had to buy a tuner key to match the other ones (very hard to find, but I had some luck in the US)
-the wiring was a mess, so I redid it with appropriate pots and also redid the aluminum foil on the pickguard back, and also repalced the pickup wires with cloth ones;

Sounds great now and plays very good for such an old forgotten bass
