I'm seriously considering asking him to build this bass for me- It's basically going to be a sunburst marcus miller 5 with a few refinements and customisations[/quote]


Well the sunburst looks even better in real life :)

I'm afraid I go all Harmony Central Review about Jon cos he did such a brilliant job on my Bass
and Doods Doodle 7 string and Rich's Jazz V
These are the three I've had personal experience of and the standard of workmanship is just exemplary

Other Luthiers are available :huh: - just to stop the fans of the others jumping on me again. Talk to JHFerret about his GB's

Anyway Jon's a fab guy as well and will bend over backwards to make the bass you want and exactly how you want it. I made him go through some pretty tough hoops but he stuck with it and put up with me and we are still mates. :huh:
I'd say that was a very importnt part of it 'cos it's a very long process and if you didn't get on it could be quite a fraught experience ...

Anyway, the best thing is to go and see him and The Wood Store (Ask tinman, he's just got back :huh:

Where are you located?

I just couldn't get out! I could hear 5's and 6's calling to me from the shelves.

*The voices, the voices, they're in my head and won't go away*

Nice ;D I'm really only after a nice light piece of swamp ash for this one- so hopefully I'm safe!

The hardest part is working out how I want the neck-

I live in Brighton so a trek up to sheffield is quite a slog- I can't really afford to take the time off work to go up either, this is the main thing holding me back.

yeah they all say that ... then the enter the Wood Store ... and suddenly things get a whole lot more complicated

"I can't really afford to take the time off work to go up either,"
No problem, He will meet you there on a Saturday, Sunday too I think ..

You see there's no escape. :)

Best thing to do is to call him up in teh week and have a chat. He really is nice and there's no hard sell or anything, just good, helpful advice

[quote name='mr_russ' post='14564' date='Jun 9 2007, 11:32 AM']ps- Bernie Goodfellow's workmanship is fantastic- he lent me a spitfire 5 for a week, I couldn't fault the build quality but it wasn't the sound in my head[/quote]


Ah well at least you know what you [i]don't[/i] want .. :)
