There are a small op... and long may that continue...plus they have to make basses as well.
Great shop...all the best.

Yes indeed, not merely a retail outfit, the standard of the work they turn out is outstanding.
I took an Alleva Coppolo bass to them a couple of years ago, that was almost in two halves, it had been trashed by a courier. That bass really was a mess. The plan was that they would repair it, if possible and then sent it to Simms to be reshot in nitro.
I got a call from Martin a week later to come in and see what I thought. My jaw dropped when I saw the quality of the repair, nobody could tell it had been damaged, unless I pointed out the minute outline of a repair. It also played and sounded as good as ever.
They had also managed to buff up the nitro finish and it didn't need to go away to be redone, which would have added almost £400 to the cost, if had gone to Simms
The Gallery charged me £165 for the work
