[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1374817559' post='2153514'] I've seen the Bass Gallery charge someone £30. So it's not "London Weighting" all over London. Playsomething in Bishops Stortford do it for a bargain sum of £100 with strings thrown in! Bargain! By the way, their guy is crap too. [/quote] Hi there, Just read this. I actually work in the shop that carried out this setup. Just for the record, the music shop in Bishops Stortford where I work, is now an independent music store called De Rosa Music. We are no longer part of Playsomething. I feel I should set the record straight regarding the bass setup fee. Was it actually £100 as I've checked through our records and there is ONE bass that we charged £100 to fully setup & restring. This was from July 2011? That cost is higher than we would normally expect, however if you break down the costs, a set of strings is roughly £25, a full setup £55 then add on VAT as a retailer, and a small element of profit. As a company we only use fully qualified engineers for all our repairs (guitars or otherwise) and in all cases we provide a quote in advance which the customer will have accepted in advance. We never pressuarise anyone into accepting repairs that they cannot afford, and we never proceed without the customers say so. I Hope this explains why a bill may be £100 in some cases. Typically a standard bass setup would be a lot less than £100, so I hope that clears up that price issue. Although this setup may have been two years ago, if any customer is unhappy with our service, we would encourage them to come back and talk to us about any problems they may have (even 2 years later!) As a local music shop, myself & my team aim to support our local community so if there's anything that you need, please call De Rosa Music in Bishops Stortford on 01279 465155. Cheers, Jamie!

This weekend can't wait any longer!! I have to go through a week of work before I have the whole weekend off to sp**k all my wages on exciting equipment. Very excited for this years!! I can see myself walking away with something I've had my eye on for a while..

Also check out lukas Pickford on google. Should take you to a site filled with Jaco transcripts.

Ahh okay so it should be fine then I'm sure. Thanks guys

Here's a picture of the Body from Warmoth. Slight strange question guys!! If you look at the bridge. 5 holes are drilled. Does this mean its specifically for a 5 string, or can I still put a 4 string bridge on and have it as a 4. Or will the neck slot be to wide now? Very chuffed with the body however, really love the grain in the flame maple! Having a 3 tone sunburst put on it come pay day! ;D
