A little celebration [L1+] 24 hours left!!!

Open

Finally completed my latest bass guitar mod/restoration project!
I had been procrasting this for weeks because, well, it's a lot of work and a pain in the arse. Also, I am a chronic procrastinator, so this is a real achievement.

And the end result was totally worth it.
Not that it looks much different from before (except for a few more scratches), but it sounds just great!

Here is a little celebratory train as I share this joy with you children.

Now I know you don't care, but for the curious here's the story...

I had a new Warman pickup ready to be put in my Metalman V, but the socket was too small and I felt too lazy to mod it.
Then one day the earth wire to the bridge got disconnected on the bridge side, which meant I had to take it all apart anyway :(
So I figured that would have been a good occasion to also put the new pickup in.

First, I had to remove pretty much everything from the body. I also de-soldered the grounding wire that went to the bridge entirely.
Then I started the painful process of enlarging the pickup socket with a rotary tool and lots of patience.
I dug towards the bridge to achieve a slightly brighter / punchier tone. This alone took me two days.

After masking the surrounding area, I hand painted the cavity and then sprayed some highly volatile fluid in it - that would allow for spectacular pyrotechnics during live shows. If I did any.
Well, that's another 24 hours wait for it to hard dry.

Finally I could fit the new pickup and wire the bridge, solder a new earth wire to it, and secure it with some thin copper tape just in case.
Now, for those who have read all of this, your patience is being rewarded with a small jigsaw for The Witcher Adventure Game! ;)
