I am always impressed by these import Blueridge dreadnoughts. This is going to be a gift to a customer's son so he wanted me to look it over. I ended up shimming up the saddle, refitting the uneven plastic bridge pins and replaced the missing end pin.

I do not carve using templates so I was shocked to find the fit of Mousa 001's bridge fit the top of Mousa 003 absolutely perfect. Like dead on perfect with no gaps. Really crazy considering this bridge is from six years ago.
The fret ends all along the fret ends were loose and lifting so I hammered them back down. This fret was stubborn and would just pop back up like a diving board so it needed to be glued and clamped into submission.
The run of basses coming through the shop rolls on with this super clean Modulus five string! It was set up with a set of Ken Smith Slick Rounds medium stainless (44-62-84-106-130). The carbon fiber neck and Aguilar 18V OBP-1 preamp deliver the punchy signature sound that Modulus is known for.
A beautiful lightly battered 70's P bass in for a setup. There was a broken lead that grounded the brass shield in the floor of the pickup cavity so that needed to be reconnected. This is another bass that belongs to the the recent G&L ASAT that came through the shop, so it was set up similarly for pick.
