    Removing Fender logo and paint job from bass headstock

    Yeah, I don't even think he was trying to fake it. Fender instruments are quite expensive here in Brazil, so people like to do those things only to show off to other people lol Anyway, I don't plan to re-sell it and tbh, I don't even mind about leaving the headstock without a logo. Maybe I can...

    Removing Fender logo and paint job from bass headstock

    I got myself a second hand Squier VM Jaguar Bass and the last owner painted the headstock, glued a fender logo and varnished it. To be honest I think the logo looks pretty ugly and It's obviously fake. I wanted to know how can I remove it considering it's varnished!

    Bass Truss Rod won't tighten any further

    I actually changed my strings after I noticed this problem... I was using 0.45 and switched to 0.40. It helped a little but didn't solve the problem :/

    Bass Truss Rod won't tighten any further

    A couple weeks ago I took my Squier VM 70's Jazz Bass to a luthier so he could set it up for me (I can make the basic adjustments by myself, but the bass also needed some fret leveling / polishing), and he said that when he was adjusting the neck relief, he wasn't able to tighten the truss rod...
