#461「拾音器電線繞線器」“Pickup Wire Organiser”
After a few days of tinkering, we created our very own pickup wire organiser! We attached this handy device to the output jack, allowing us to neatly secure any excess wire. By doing so, we prevent it from touching the guitar's internal components, eliminating the risk of unwanted noise.

Continuing from the previous post:
Picture 1: Use a chisel and a scraper to remove most of the protruding wood.
Picture 2: Sand the fretboard, starting with coarse-grit sandpaper and gradually progressing to finer grits.
Picture 3: Finally, polish any scratched frets and apply fretboard oil.
And there you have it, all done!
#459「填滿原裝Inlay窿 1」“ Filling the Original Wooden Inlay Hole 1”
Picture 1: Clean the wood filler inside the fretboard's circular hole.
Picture 2: Based on the size of the hole, use a CNC machine to create cylindrical inlays from wood with the same diameter.
Picture 3: Mix wood dust into hide glue, matching the color of the fretboard. Then, use the hide glue to adhere the cylindrical wood inlays to the fretboard.

The original battery clip was not compatible with this Bass, so it was forcefully opened to accommodate two batteries. As a result, the batteries got damaged and would frequently fall out.
#414「拾音器高度維修」“Pickup Height Repair”
The foam used for adjusting the pickup height has worn out due to long-term use and no longer performs its intended function. How can we solve this problem?
