acidbass Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hey guys, I have a bit of work to do on a couple of my basses over the next month or so. My main axe needs the electrics looked at and possibly rewired, as well as a full set up and possibly a new nut and tuners installed. I also want a Jazz pickup installed in the bridge position of my fretless Precision bass as well as a full setup and perhaps get the board lacquered. Who can do this? Money is no object as long as they treat my babies well and don't mind courier-ing basses to Northern Ireland! Thanks in advance, Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Danny[/quote] All the jobs you need done they don't exactly require a rocket scientist, any decent guitar tech can handle those, they do those day in day out as part of their average routine, if you were talking about who would be the best luthier to glue together a snapped neck or carry out major restore to a vintage bass then your search for some of the best would be justified. There is a listing on this forum in the sticky section at the top with all the most rated techs and luthiers. Good luck Edited March 19, 2011 by Grand Wazoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Bernie repair and maintain non-GB instruments? Can't see anything on his website. Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny[/quote] A few years ago Bernie Goodfellow repaired a Dearmond Starfire for me but I don't think it was exactly top of his list of priorities.

chrismuzz Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 If you're anywhere near Bletchley/Milton Keynes I strongly recommend Andy Viccars. He's a master luthier/tech and it's mostly just a hobby as he loves it so much so you're likely to get a great price too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noisyjon Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I would recommend The Gallery in Camden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
