Bubba Bass: Just The Wrong Repairs Gallery

Spackle
This.
This sound post that was cut too short and nailed back together.
Green varnish. Not the lighting. It's actually green.
Scooped-out bridge feet.
This tail wire. Actually commonly seen. Oh dear.
Varnish touched up with latex paint.
The mother of all bass bars. It appears to be pregnant with a litter.
This shimmed brace in a new bass. NOT a repair. It was made like this.
This hole covered with a patch on the outside. NO ONE WILL GUESS.
This. DID YOU HIT A DEER?
This varnish that...Well, who knows what happened. It got fixed.
This electrical tape.
These patches made out of bow leather.
These sturdy patches.
Neck bolted on.
This Louisville Slugger bass bar which is supposed to mic at 25mm. No wonder the bass sounded like a Louisville Slugger.
This nail.
Is this a beach? No. It's rosin crust.
This action on an actively used school bass.
These rib linings in a handmade new bass.
Back attached with Gorilla glue. Under the varnish.
This line that's supposed to be straight.
This fingerboard which is supposed to match the template.
These bridge adjusters.
This fingerboard wood.
This varnish with a black overlay. Klassy.
3oz of fishing weights, superglued under the tailpiece.
This bass bar installed parallel to the grain line. What could go wrong - besides the top sinking?
This line of patches on top of patches.
This mortise entirely filled with Liquid Nails.
This giant end block. Attributed to a maker's "cubist" period.
FB on a nice 5-string - cut way too thin with way too much arch and the cant in the complete opposite direction.
2x thick bridge with giant string notches
Fingerboard originally well-shaped by an award-winning maker, but a repair shop did this - now a 2-year-old instrument needs a $1000 fingerboard.
Sound post glued in with hotmelt glue
Three-deep patches holding it together
This asymmetrical mortise
