I can so relate to leaving the small, simple tasks for a long, long time, and then wonder, "why didn't I just do this earlier?" when I finally get around to them!
TEAM NISEBELLE SQUAD UP!!!! β€
This quality of content deserves way more subscribers
Great video! I really love Cali, your Mustang! I have to say, I will have to agree to disagree about changing the pickups and (gulp) putting a hardtail on the JM JM. I surf with mine, and can't imagine changing those things! I do like how you took your dream Bass from perfect to "perfect for me." Keep rockin', Nisebelle! I admire your skills and knowledge! Much love and God's blessings to you! β€
Tonic water and coffee? I have to try that now! Thanks for the great video. The Fender AJB is now at the top of my short list. π΅
Nice! I am in the middle of my project backlog of one guitar. I have been fixing up my β96 MIM Strat that I got in 2000 for my 19th birthday. I painted it back then over what I thought then was Torino Red with sky blue Home Depot road striping paint I passed off as Daphne Blue. As time passed the Krylon clear coat yellowed and brown where my skin touched and it began looking super ugly. So I decided to strip it and do a nice Dakota Red nitro finish. I also refretted the neck and will install a PureTone jack and proper shielding tape (I used heavy duty aluminum foil with spray adhesive back in 2008, which actually worked). Anyway, I had left the trem cavity the original red when I painted it back in 2000. I had remasked it when I started repainting it to preserve the color still. I was wet sanding the finish today and peeled off the painters tape to compare the Torino Red and Dakota Red, and saw that my Strat was actually Dakota Red and now a dead match for the nitro I was wet sanding. So I simply restored my Strat to its former glory and I am happy with that. Thatβs my project backlog story for the day.
Attention to detail and listening/watching the player, the feel and playability). No doubt you will excel! Rock on!
when you went to clean your desk and then started playing the jazz. me too
I loved this video nisebelle. Put some confidence into me to someday do my own modding projects. Thank you.
Great vid as always! Big love for the Aerodyne, I borrowed on for a recording 12 years ago and I've been looking for one at a good price ever since (they're rare in the UK!).
Love your stuff Nis every vid is a vibe, and good choice on the Lollars.
Backlog is the biggest bane of my life! It always starts with coffee tho as well haha! Always love the way you interweave B roll. β€
You had me at coffee and tonic water but when I saw my Ikea rocker, I lost it! I have seen that rocker in nearly every country that I've visited including Cambodia!π
These videos always give me life β¨π
That was AWESOME!!!!!! - That bass sound π€€π€€π€€π€€ very inspiring video to also get going again, with what's been planned last... er... summer π¬π«£ππ€
Yea, I had a put-off forever project recently completed, a destroyed 1970's Czech Jolana Iris bass. Got through so much in the first couple months - parts find as half the HW was gone or busted (a buddy in Greece came through), removed marker and pale green paint from the severely checked finish (thanks Simichrome), patched 2 1 inch diameter 1/2 inch deep holes in the body, ground the rust off the chrome harness plate, paint matched the gradient redburst paint where patched from holes and gouges. Then 2 things hung me up; first, the blasted jack, jack pocket, and wiring to the jack was a nightmare, broke 3 times on install, ticked me off. The other thing was where do you find a cover for a weird size pickup? Sat in pieces for 6 months, and I gave thought to just trashing it. Finally, modeled and 3D printed a replacement pickup cover, used an acoustic barrel jack (no joke, the strap button nut is the spacer inside the body, old jack nut is on the outside on the jack plate) with heat shrink wrap sleeve to lock in the wiring, found and fixed the busted wire on the 8 way rotary switch, shimmed and set the action on the neck, buttoned up, strings and setup, oiled and polished. That was work over about 2 weeks. The bass went from a bust to a beast. Ugly but usable and unique. I do have top notch gear for gigs, I just like doing rebuilds of crazy stuff for the fun of it. The Iris was somewhat less than fun. I am now trying a full new build of a reliced 51 P bass, except with 2 51P pickups, and modern gold HW, probably weeks of work to go.
Love your videos! This one has inspired me to finally put in the Lollars I bought for my 94 MIJ Jazzmaster nearly a year ago.
I love the tones you get on your mustang!
I've been a fan for a while now and your vids are such a breath of fresh air for the music side of Youtube. Keep up the great work :)
