Gear4Music selling Damaged stuff - good, easy projects


Recommended Posts

They always have some damaged stuff going and most of the time it's things like "headstock broken off". So it's not something your average "fettler" can fix.

But take a look at this:

Not much damage if you want a bass to have a mess about with.

I could live with a case with a broken clip saving over £100. The broken headstock doesn't look that bad.

I recently bought a Spector with a severely broken headstock - trip to our local luthier, Terry Chapman, and all is like new - you really wouldn't know. I'll get some photos done and post them.

Now you don't:

I'm not alone in having great work done by Terry Chapman - check with Lozz.

Not outrageous - £150 - price also included a set up and new nut.

Not outrageous! That is very reasonable money for a job like that, especially given the quality of the repair! Great to see a bass saved from becoming skip fodder!
Do you have any before and after shots from the front of the neck please?
