Skipping CD player @shroprockdoctor this morning. This one is a favour for a friend. Suspected issue was insufficient lubricant on the transport rails & fortunately it was a good guess.

Machine heads were removed to tighten internally & so with the […]

A bit of bridge work @shroprockdoctor, I should have been a dentist đđ Cleaning up the bridge from the Rose Morris Shaftesbury 3261 Rickenbacker copy. The easiest way to get years of buildup from the screws, springs & rollers was to drop them into the ultrasonic bath for ten minutes. Cleaned up quite nicely. #guitarfx […]

@shroprockdoctor today we have a Yamaha RBX170 bass guitar for a rebuild and to address some cosmetic issues with its paintwork.
