This is an ESP bass usually made in Japan but this lower level model was made in Korea. It turned out beautifully! The color is stunning! Perfect Precision bass for progressive rock, blues or jazz. This bass would be perfect for Stax, Motown, 1960's R&B, Surf rock, Psychedelic Rock, Bebop Jazz, swing, Big Band, Country and Western music, and 1970's oldies classic covers
The junk guitar is a jap bass made in the 1970-80s and was sued by fender cos it looked very much like a fender. I have one an d its called a Satellite. The metal plate should have a seral No on it. Mine is 94f whatever that means.
@@MrKenstar2 It’s a restoration video man. I’m sure you can slap the bass better than him, but can you do a restoration like this? If you can, great. Make a video, I’m sure people would love to see it.
no disrespect to the luthier at all of course, insane talent on his part, but I just loved how it looked thrashed up, I'd be awesome if he kept the grungey punk aesthetic of it but made playable! It looked like the p bass from hell, I'd watch any punk/metal band with a bassist playing that thing!
Looks like someone tried to do the Billy Sheehan Wife bass thing here. Lets hope the previous owner's playing was better then his mods. Great job on the restoration!
2 things.I wouldn't have painted the rear and sides of the headstock,and that truss rod adjustment's gonna be a PITA.Apart from that a stupendous transformation.Beautiful LPB shade.Subscribed.
Finally doing the *re-frets! Great job!* I hope to see you do additional work like copper shielding(for that noise) and maybe pickup winding. With those skills, you can make cheap guitars look and sound like the expensive ones.
the hole near the neck was definitely for a pickup, and the previous owner was probably going for a Billy Sheehan pickup configuration with a Precision pickup in the middle and a humbucker near the neck it would've been cool if you kept the pickup configuration instead of filling up the cavity near the neck that being said, cool repair!

Fantastic job !.. pleased you changed the machine heads .. loved your colour choice .. I think this is the best restoration you’ve done so far ( why yes , I’m a Bassplayer 😎🎶🎵)
What a great restoration once again brother! Love the work on the headstock and neck! Great color choice too, metallic blue with gold mat pickguard. Killer bass. I saw an ESP P bass on Reverb for 900 $. Yours looks a zillion times better!
This is one of the best videos, if not the best video you've made yet, sir! You took a total piece of junk and made it into a beautiful and usable instrument that sounds great, too. Well done as usual! Cool logo sticker, too.
Bellissimo lavoro, sublime l'abbinamento dei colori blu cobalto e oro. Mi piacciono molto questi interventi fatti per migliorare il basso e dargli una personalità. Bravissimo!!
You can play! And you gave that beaten ESP new life.(You may want to cut out a piece of the brass plectrum guard, for easy adjustment of the neck rod) Good work 👍
Fantastic job on restoring the Bass! Well done. The only thing I would say is, because it was an ESP, I feel like you missed the opportunity to make something real special out of it, I would have loved to see a P pickup with a Humbucker or something, active electronics etc. I feel like it's a bit of a shame that all that work left you with a generic P-Bass. Hopefully next time you find a trash Bass to restore, you could also to a really cool mod. Cheers friend.
Great job, not sure about cutting the headstock but it turned out great. Next time perhaps some shielding, or shielding paint in the pickup cavity would help leop the noise down.
I would invest a little at the caps and the circuit, to make it sound more powerful and with less noises. But about the apearence itself, you did a miracle! 😊
Remember that laminated hard wood is not plywood. Plywood is made from the scraps at the factory and then press together using pine. This is a laminated hard wood with harder species, such as nayatoh, agathis, poplar, alder, ash and walnut
Hello Friend, amazing restoration : it was a very good idea to reshape the headstock and fill up the square hole. And then, this unknown bass guitar was given a name ! Bravo, great job, thank you for sharing your skill !

@serotonin.cowboilolol ikr its so silly to try and say this is perfect for this or that. Its a gd pbass it'll sound fine on anything.
Ok, why wouldn't it be good for banda, or reggaeton, or bachata, or vallenato?
@@joetowers4804 Of course it's great for those less common styles, occurring in foreign countrys.

The headstock literally was screaming Peavey to me.
It’s painful to see what an instrument can look like after a few years in the wrong hands. You did an incredible job with this one.

Cant play at all

@@MrKenstar2 why dont you show yourself playing better then
To take a piece of junk and turn it into a gem speaks volumes. I have restored a few in my day and its not easy. Your speaking my language.
Looks like someone tried to do the Billy Sheehan Wife bass thing here. Lets hope the previous owner's playing was better then his mods. Great job on the restoration!
finally a guitar restoration that doesn’t involve mud, a wire brush, or ramen noodles. that looks and sounds absolutely incredible
THATS A BASS NOT GUITAR
@@Paul_Sepp really? I just thought it was a four string baritone guitar.
@@Ian-qs3fz as a bassist i feel offended when people call bass a guitar)
@@Paul_Seppno reason to get offended. It’s called a bass guitar. So it’s a guitar for bass notes.
@@13_cmi no, the origin of them is different. Eguitars came from acoustic, ebass came from contrabass.
You did a gorgeous job on that! Warms my heart to see an instrument that was just plain junk transformed into a real beauty!

こんな状態の楽器を見つけるのがまず凄えや
Это верно
情念に塗れたギターたちが浄化されていく様を見ていると癒されますねｗ

Shielding would be nice.
a Faraday box, copper or aluminium
Beautiful work. It broke my heart to see an old ESP P Bass abused like that. Great choice of color and great job on the finish.

素晴らしいですね。

非常に勉強になりました
I love turning junk into gold. You turn it into platinum. Beautiful job.
I'm happy to see you put your logo on it. Beautiful choice of color.
Прекрасная работа!Браво! Святое дело - давать новую жизнь инструменту! Низкий поклон и уважение Мастеру!
That ESP bass turned out beautiful afterwards!

I love taking something that was destroyed and rebuilding it better than brand new. Congratulations on your project.... Cheers
不思議な箇所で木材が分かれてましたね笑メタリックブルーとヘアラインPGの組み合わせ超好みでした！お疲れ様です！
Classic color for an old P-bass and that anodized pickguard really sets it off. Your tone is impeccable as well. Excellent work!
I love your videos. They are fantastic. Thank you so much.

It’s not that the previous owners were bad. It’s that they abounded the instruments. Thankfully this man is putting in the work to restore them
Was TOTALLY onboard till you turned the ESP headstock into the Fender. Everything else was excellent as always.
Another beautiful transformation, love the colour, goes well with the natural timber tones 👌👍
Nice restoration!
フィンガーボードもこんなに綺麗になるものなんですねー
by far this the best restoration job you have ever done, thumbs up bro!
I really like the color scheme you chose. Very fine work you did. You also know your way around a Bass guitar, sounds great.
Fantastic restoration on that poor bass.
こんなに「ようやる‥」と思った動画初めて
I wasn't expecting just the coolest prog at the end, love it.
A master class about to renovate an instrument.
Great.
Congratulations
This channel deserves waaaay more subs! What an incredible job!
THE BEST RESTORATION VIDEO EVER...
This is one of the best videos, if not the best video you've made yet, sir! You took a total piece of junk and made it into a beautiful and usable instrument that sounds great, too. Well done as usual! Cool logo sticker, too.
You do amazing work. It's wonderful to see new life breathed into a forgotten instrument.
Bellissimo lavoro, sublime l'abbinamento dei colori blu cobalto e oro. Mi piacciono molto questi interventi fatti per migliorare il basso e dargli una personalità. Bravissimo!!
That ending playing piece was amazing.
AND........... Turning the headstock into a precision..............Genius !
Great restoration work, this time you went to a next level, bravo!👌🏼
I can't believe I never thought to use clamps like that for a stand. I'm stealing that idea!
You effectively made it less playable by sanding the neck flat and taking some of the radius out.
I love the blue. Beautiful color.👍🏽
really nice job. Don't understand the need for the headstock change though(?)
Love your vids
I didn’t either. Maybe restoring it to its correct shape?
The color scheme is very Subaru. Cool!
That looks beautiful! Amazing job, man!
Honestly i love the before body looks like, it explodes with personality
Congratulations!!! 👍👍👍Very good work and super sound!!!
I love the Color, Great Job.
probably the best guitar restore video ive see, well done!
元は Billy Sheehan モデルにしたかったんだろうな。
Great restoration on that bass!! And some fine picking!! 🙂
Superb transformation, awesome 🔵🟦 finish 🤘🏻
Sounds great. Looks great
Very good work my friend.
You did an impressive job on this one! She looks so much better now than before.
thanks for your videos
very nice done
Hard to believe someone did so much damage to that instrument. Looks fantastic now. Blue was a great choice
Never seen a bass in such bad shape. Good job :)
Gratulations! Great job. I learned a lot. Thank you.
The colour looks al lot like the classic Lake Placid Blue. Very good job!
Fantastic Restoration! You have a real Talent for this type of work! Keep it up!
Kudos for the surgery and resurrection. This bass shall live on.
Work of art. Congratulations.
That turned out great.
You can play! And you gave that beaten ESP new life.(You may want to cut out a piece of the brass plectrum guard, for easy adjustment of the neck rod) Good work 👍
nice hack to extend the head plate into a fender-like👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
From thrash to gold. Amazing work man.
Love the metallic blue
Wow that's an amazing job! Great!
Nice leaks in the end, man)good job)
Always great work.
Thank you for rescuing that guitar from a fate it did not deserve.
Subarashii!! ( means Magnificent in Japanese) You did a great job restoring that electric Bass guitar into new!!😊
man, as guitar repeirer, i must say you are so absolute good in all your actions.
respect to you. from Urkaine shake hand
Fantastic job on restoring the Bass!
Well done.

Damn nice finish!
You are amazing bro. Congratulations from Brazil!
So far looking good man!
From one junk bass to another genius
That was some clean solder work and that cover plate is awesome.
Very nice. From near firewood back to a beautiful instrument
Astounding transformation, beautiful result!
Great job. It sounds and looks like a pro bass guitar.
As an expression of human at its highest level ingenuity -music- even the humblest musical instrument deserves respect and love. Beautiful vid!!!!
Great job, not sure about cutting the headstock but it turned out great. Next time perhaps some shielding, or shielding paint in the pickup cavity would help leop the noise down.
Definitivamente, uno de tus trabajos más grandiosos. Felicidades!🤘
I would invest a little at the caps and the circuit, to make it sound more powerful and with less noises. But about the apearence itself, you did a miracle! 😊
nice work - thanks for sharing
Beautiful 🤘🏼🤘🏼congrats from Brazil
Clever way to change the ESP headstock to Fender style! Great video and a source of inspiration for building/restoring guitars.
Outstanding work!
excellent job !
so nice to see you work
Te quedó súper bien! Fue mucho trabajo pero valió la pena!
love these guitar restore videos

Not unknown, it was an ESP bass
Yeah, I’m not really down for reshaping an ESP into a Fender.
This bass had a name
