    How long to restore a double bass?

    sorry to read about the situation..... cannot understand why you are be-barred from viewing work in progress. I have recently collected my db from Martin Penning in Frome who carried out very similar job to the one you describe although it started with the intention of removing top to access and reglue horizontal back brace. Not unexpectedly, Martin advised carrying out some extra work once the top was removed as it was sensible to sort out anything problematic "inside".

    Originally advised work would take two weeks minimum but possibly longer depending on state of instrument once top removed.He did not have an opportunity to see it before hand and had to rely on my comments. I delivered bass as soon as he was free to start it. Martin kept in regular e-mail contact to advise progress and sent pictures at each stage as I do not live within easy driving distance - I cannot imagine he would have had any problem with a personal visit if it was practical for me.

    Collected bass exactly 4 weeks later but could have been 3 weeks if I was desperate. Cost ? Original quote was around £200 to sort out back brace BUT dependent on ease of removing top .... happily the top came off without too much trauma. I paid around £100 extra for other internal work making good old cracks and repairs.The external extras were all fair prices for standard work ie new saddle/new nut/shoot and redress fingerboard/new soundpost/ refit bridge feet. We agreed the exras as we went along

    By now your luthier should be able to tell you when the job WILL be finished and what the cost will be.Once you are advised this I think you should make a written record of events to date and send a copy to the luthier.

    Sincerely hope this will all turn out ok.

    FENDER SQUIER JAZZ BASS - CUSTOMISED
    Originally bought second hand by me for £225 in June 1996 from The Embassy – a specialist
    bass shop in Mansfield.
    At that time the bass was a standard de-fretted jazz.(original invoice available)

    In March 1997 I had the same shop build a completely new maple neck with a decent
    Ebony fingerboard – still fretless + install EMG vintage jazz pick-ups. I part exchanged
    the old neck and pick-ups, net cost £135.

    The new neck is marked “Ebe 1” – original invoice available.

    In more recent times the bass was re-fretted by a local guitar store as I had acquired
    a boutique fretless instrument by then. It has had light use and the frets and board are
    in excellent condition. The body has a few minor chips but is very good for age.

    Now surplus to my requirements and needs to be played.

    Welcome to try if you are near Plymouth.

    Looking for £250 plus £15 carriage to uk mainland.

    Program shows photo file name being uploaded to site on bar display, uploads
    all MB (around 5MB) then shows a warning "! No file was selected for upload"

    Have tried Basic and advanced uploader but same result.

    Similar photos attach fine on flea bay ads - any suggestions ?

    (I have managed to attach photos to basschat ads before without any problem
    but I have run out of ideas on this one ...........................)

    Thanks for help

    Think I'll try the super silvers - still searching for definition on the e string although I do like the tone
    of the g and d strings in the silver slaps

    Did you progress your "hybrid" set of innovations any further ?

    some help with innovation string identification please.

    I believe they may be super silvers but want to be sure before I
    re-order.

    They are non-metal (ie not honeys) and have dark blue wraps at the gut end.

    Appreciated

    Patrick
