Lee-Man Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 If you can make it over to Notts http://www.xperienceguitars.co.uk are amazing. I've used some top luthiers before and they are genuinely up there with the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I've also used xperience guitars in the past with some mixed results. On the Derby side of Nottingham is Robin Asher, he's done work on 2 or 3 basses for me in the recent past and always does an excellent job. I get the impression he's not really interested in trivial £30 set up jobs any more though, likes to get into a job that's worth his while & expertise: [url="http://www.theguitardoctor.net/"]http://www.theguitardoctor.net/[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_the_bass Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I've always used Andy Farrell with great results. He's near Ikea. When I've found his website I'll edit this post with the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marillionred Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Another one for Colin Keefe. Sorted out my injured Lakland, and a lovely person too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it turns out I was at school with Jenna down South in the mid-late 70s! PS. They've only worked on guitars for me though; I've never tried them on bass.
