Many of you probably still have your first bass guitar. You probably haven’t played it in years, and it’s in a closet or basement. Also, something (or probably many things) on that bass guitar are probably broken, preventing you from playing it properly.
Like other players, you probably put aside your first bass to restore it one day, and now you’re contemplating it. But, should you consider Bass Restoration In Peachtree City, GA?
It’s Best if You Can Find an Exact Match for Parts
Assuming, for the time being, that you can find an exact-match or close-to-exact-match bass that won’t put you in the poorhouse after purchase, your restoration process will be a lot easier. Remember that you’re not restoring your first bass to sell it; rather, you’re restoring it to have a playable instrument.
If you can find another bass that looks similar to yours, “borrow” all the components you need because you don’t need to be 100 percent original and/or authentic here. This is “Your #1,” so do anything you want with it. The one thing you will want to purchase new is bass strings.
When It’s Not Worth Restoring
When bass restoration in Peachtree City, GA isn’t worth it, there’s just one term to describe it: disintegration. The disintegration of your own instrument is arguably one of the most depressing things a musician can go through. You can do nothing about it except start replacing components once disintegration starts. And, of course, the more components you replace with new, the more you’re conducting a repair rather than a restoration, which means the instrument will eventually “lose its enchantment.”
