We received this water damaged Encore Bass in non-working order with substantial damage to the front veneer and heavily scratching on the back and a string action hight you could fit your finger under at the 12th fret.​

The TfSR team carefully removed the scratches from the back restoring the original Tabacco Sunburst finish. The front veneer was too badly damage to restore so was stripped then the front was dyed and polished to the beautiful mildly distressed purple finish.​

The electronic were cleaned and the volume pot replaced and a substantial amount of time and care was taken to polish the back of the neck and fret board as well as rolling the fret board, levelling, rounding and polishing the frets.​

Finally, the nut was cut properly, and saddle hights adjusted and the Bass intonated to greatly improve action and playability.​
