Anyone can solve and repair my guitar and bass problem please PM or post at this topic...i have limited budget and can't afford expensive amount of repair and restoration huhuhuhu..

1.Japan Stratocaster
I have it for almost a year.At first,the guitar is wotking great.Back then,i always spray all the "besi " part(the knobs,the pickup,and even the machine head) with WD-40..the besi memang tak berkarat but now the problem,the knobs and the machine head is very2 hard to twist.Sangat2 ketat cannot use hand,have to use playar and screw driver.Huhuhu..how can i solve this problem?

2.Ibanez Roadstar2
I bought it recently,the front humbucker pickup got a push-pull sytem for switching it from humbuckle to single coil vice-versa.But the knob rosak already when i bought it and stuck at single-coil mode.Anyone can estimate me the cost to repair it?

3.Squire P-bass
I bought it previous year,and i left it under my bed with the string attached to it.Then i left it there for couple of months.When i check it back,the brdge and neck wood need to be re-allign and tonation need to be done.I refer the bass to my friend and he said that the truss rod need to be align.I don't know how to do it.I bought the bass with a very cheap price,and i don't want to spent much on it..maybe around rm50-rm100 for the restoration.Is it possible..or can i do it by myself..

Huhuhuhu..can someone help me ...Thanks

Bro, u shouldn't have sprayed WD-40. WD-40 is a type of solvent, u should have use Singer oil.........

Bout the P bass, intonation and neck kinda tough to do............ I no pro, so dun noe. But i think standard set-up for Bass is 100++
Bring to professionals., it's safer

Basic setup in Bentley (distributor for Squire and Fender) is cheap as long as it's nothing major. Should be around RM30 I think. Just bring it there and let the tech's on the ground floor take a look. They'll give you an estimate.
