Dave McOxford Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hi all, Can anyone recommend a good bass repair man in the Oxford/Abingdon area? Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyc Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Jonathan Glithero is based in Oxford and did a good job on my bass many, many years ago. He's moved house since then so I don't have any contact details but you should be able to find him online. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-glithero-93b15017/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Dave Smart is my go-to chap, lives on Cumnor Hill, google Smart Guitars. Tell him that Dave from the Grateful Dudes recommended him to you , that should jump you straight to the back of the queue! I live between Abingdon and Witney, we are almost neighbours! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyc Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Oh duh, for some reason I thought you meant double bass. If it's electric bass I've had a few services done by RPGuitars. Very fast turnaround and my basses played so much better afterwards. https://rpguitars.co.uk/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I think he's moved to Wales now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where he went but it may well have been Wales. He is (current as of 2019) working in Abingdon.

Worth knowing, as I'm just up the road from Abingdon (Standlake). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) RP guitars is my mate Bob Pimm. He lives in Cheney Walk off Northcourt Rd. Being an ex trained turner by trade ( we both worked for the same engineering company back in the 90's ) and quite a superb guitarist, he is a fastidious worker. You cant go wrong with him. John East has , in the past, had Bob make some batchwork stuff for Johns company. Also as recommended, try Dave Smart of https://www.smartguitars.co.uk/ He is also a very accurate and fastidious worker. He builds guitars too.
