BrunoBass Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Iām constantly impressed and inspired by the bass build diaries on Basschat, as well as build videos on YouTube etc.Ā Ā Iāve built, or rather assembled, basses from parts, which hasĀ been a fun and learning experience. I feel now that Iād like to get deeper into this and build a bass (or basses) from scratch. I have neither the funds or space to kit out a wood working shop, as much as Iād like to, so Iām wondering if there are such things as workshops for hire? I canāt find anything online, and I suspect H&S / insurance implications maybe preclude such a service, but Iām thinking if anyone knows someone on Basschat will. I used to work in a fabricating shop and have experience (although not recent) of using routers, band saws and assorted other things that can hurt you, so Iām not a total noob at wood working. Quote
