About 20 years ago I knew a guy who had a lovely Vigier bass, one night he tripped over his lead, yanked the bass of it's stand & took about a 4 inch area of paint clean off it. He was pretty heartbroken. Anyway, a year or so later he sent the bass back to Mr Vigier for a re-fret. When the bass came back it had been completely refinished & had a note in the case to the effect "thought you would appreciate having it back to new, no charge, regards PV".[/quote]Wow.. what a nice man...
