TPJ Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 If you're on t'other side of the Pennines, Jan at [url="http://www.chapel-allerton.org.uk/index.html"]Chapel Allerton Strings[/url] is great. Mods, maybe you can pin or sticky this in the DB section as double bass reapirs/luthiers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev59 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Surrey area (based in Dorking), James Arthur - 07749 693 135. Set mine up from scratch, new bridge, re-strung, general tidy up. I'd use him again. (He also sets up guitars, but haven't used him for mine yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
