Help with finishing a custom build

Hi everyone,

I started making my own bass from my own hand drawn plans a while ago, using a friend's workshop. [url="http://imgur.com/a/eEPAl"]Album here.[/url] It stalled a couple of years ago and now I don't have the same amount of time that I did before, nor access to the tools.

I've been contacting luthiers in the area (Bristol), but either I don't get a response or they don't want to do it. I do understand their point of view. They'd rather start something from scratch rather than deal with surprises from another build.

The work I’d like to get done is:[list]
[*]Trim the fretboard to the neck, radius (12”) & fret it
[*]Central block levelled (even only roughly, I can sand to flat)
[*]Pickup cavities routed
[*]Control and battery cavities routed
[*]Holes for controls drilled (or at least the selector switch)
[*]Linking cavities with holes for wires
[*]Bridge ground hole put in (I’m not going for the individual ones as per the album, I’ve got a MM style)
[/list]
Can anyone recommend someone that can help? I understand that it's possibly not the most enticing job for someone, but it's something that I'd really like to get finished!

Cheers,
Mike
