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.
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!
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.
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!!
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!
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! 😊
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.
I can't believe they removed the humbucker bridge hole and changed the headstock to look like a fender clone. It could've been unique but they killed it :'(
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 👍
I got that same fret file from Borque. I wore one out already and had to get another. Stainless Steel frets will fill a diamond file eventualy. The filling in of the neck frets was sweet.
A few years ago I pulled an old Global bass from the 70's out of the trash. It was my first guitar restoration, I did a pretty decent job on it. My SIL has it now.
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.
One question, when you made the block to fill in the abysmal neck pickup routing, why did you choose to put the wood grain the opposite way of the rest og the body? Maybe it doesn't make any difference, but I'm always curious...
I did this several years ago with an Aria bass that was found in the trash. it was all there, so I did an Eddie V. job on it, the black with yellow stripes, my fav E.V. paint scheme. came out perfect, and I still have it. I also painted my Harley like Evel Knievel's bike. that was much easier to show off. 😉🏁

@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.
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.
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!

You did a gorgeous job on that! Warms my heart to see an instrument that was just plain junk transformed into a real beauty!

Shielding would be nice.
a Faraday box, copper or aluminium
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
こんな状態の楽器を見つけるのがまず凄えや
Это верно
I love taking something that was destroyed and rebuilding it better than brand new. Congratulations on your project.... Cheers
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。
ヘッドのダボで接着は
非常に勉強になりました
I'm happy to see you put your logo on it. Beautiful choice of color.
That ESP bass turned out beautiful afterwards!
I love turning junk into gold. You turn it into platinum. Beautiful job.
Was TOTALLY onboard till you turned the ESP headstock into the Fender. Everything else was excellent as always.
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.

Great.

Another beautiful transformation, love the colour, goes well with the natural timber tones 👌👍

As an expression of human at its highest level ingenuity -music- even the humblest musical instrument deserves respect and love. Beautiful vid!!!!
THE BEST RESTORATION VIDEO EVER...
AND........... Turning the headstock into a precision..............Genius !
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! 😊
Great restoration work, this time you went to a next level, bravo!👌🏼
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
by far this the best restoration job you have ever done, thumbs up bro!
Nice restoration!
I really like the color scheme you chose. Very fine work you did. You also know your way around a Bass guitar, sounds great.
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.
This channel deserves waaaay more subs! What an incredible job!
I wasn't expecting just the coolest prog at the end, love it.
I love the blue. Beautiful color.👍🏽
I prefered the junk look, had much more character
Concordo, agora ele se tornou apenas mais um entre tantos iguais...
I can't believe they removed the humbucker bridge hole and changed the headstock to look like a fender clone. It could've been unique but they killed it :'(
@@RedBritewhere do you see a hole for a humbucker bridge pickup?
@@hathatsfunny1911 I meant neck, the hole is for a neck pickup
its great to see how even the most corroded and neglected example can be returned to a condition that is sought after..!! thank you..!!
Fantastic restoration on that poor bass.
Hard to believe someone did so much damage to that instrument. Looks fantastic now. Blue was a great choice
You do amazing work. It's wonderful to see new life breathed into a forgotten instrument.
LOVE your work on this one!
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！
Superb transformation, awesome 🔵🟦 finish 🤘🏻
man, as guitar repeirer, i must say you are so absolute good in all your actions.
respect to you. from Urkaine shake hand
Kudos for the surgery and resurrection. This bass shall live on.
I love the Color, Great Job.
That ending playing piece was amazing.
Congratulations!!! 👍👍👍Very good work and super sound!!!
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
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 👍
QUEDO MUY GUAPO
que hermoso quedo, jamas habia visto una restauracion tan cariñosa
Sounds great. Looks great
Honestly i love the before body looks like, it explodes with personality
Gratulations! Great job. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Great restoration on that bass!! And some fine picking!! 🙂
trabalho simplesmente incrível, parabéns pela obra de arte...
probably the best guitar restore video ive see, well done!
thanks for your videos
very nice done

Subarashii!! ( means Magnificent in Japanese) You did a great job restoring that electric Bass guitar into new!!😊
You are amazing bro. Congratulations from Brazil!
Te quedó súper bien! Fue mucho trabajo pero valió la pena!
That looks beautiful! Amazing job, man!
Definitivamente, uno de tus trabajos más grandiosos. Felicidades!🤘
Work of art. Congratulations.
The colour looks al lot like the classic Lake Placid Blue. Very good job!
Great restoration. I would have gone with a silver pick guard but still a great job.
Beautiful 🤘🏼🤘🏼congrats from Brazil
Very nice. From near firewood back to a beautiful instrument
nice hack to extend the head plate into a fender-like👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow that's an amazing job! Great!

The color scheme is very Subaru. Cool!
Fantastic Restoration! You have a real Talent for this type of work! Keep it up!
Love the metallic blue
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.
Always great work.
I can't believe I never thought to use clamps like that for a stand. I'm stealing that idea!

That was some clean solder work and that cover plate is awesome.
Very good work my friend.
こんなに「ようやる‥」と思った動画初めて
Great job. It sounds and looks like a pro bass guitar.
From thrash to gold. Amazing work man.
Мастерская работа! Получилось очень красиво!
That turned out great.
Astounding transformation, beautiful result!
You need a fret-rcker to check for high and low frets.
This restoration is much better than previous ones.
You did an impressive job on this one! She looks so much better now than before.
So far looking good man!
The little baby guitar got into good hands got a second life, just like the Phoenix was reborn from the ashes. Greetings OK 😀
nice work - thanks for sharing
Outstanding work!
