W1_Pro Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Evening all, I have a stripped P bass body that I need spraying in tobacco sunburst. Does anyone know of a handy chap/ette in east anglia who could help? I know some of the more talented (or reckless) among us would suggest doing it myself, but I am deeply hopeless at that sort of thing. Best left to a pro, I fancy. Any and all help much appreciated.

pete.young Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Suffolk's a big place! Colin Fulton in Little Glemham, north of Ipswich, would be one person to consider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 You could also talk to Steve at Guitar Lodge in Felixstowe. I didn't realise it, but he advertises refinishes. I've used him for setups and a mandolin neck repair, he's a really capable guy and very pleasant to deal with. https://www.guitarlodge.co.uk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, one of the chaps said he didn't have a spray booth at the mo (just moved apparently- so totally fair enough) and the other didn't reply to my messages, which was a bit boring. Still, to paraphrase the always relevant David St Hubbins, in the hurly burly world of rock n' roll, these things happen...;0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

three Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I’d strongly recommend Bow Finishing in Surrey - specialist finishers that work for some top UK luthiers. They did some difficult refin work for me and the results were remarkable. Friendly, professional, realistic prices and will ship. You could send the body over very cheaply. https://www.bowfinishing.co.uk/contact/ The workshop number is: 01883744391 Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
