Luthiers around South Bucks / West London area?

[Clarky72]

So, I need a luthier who can mod my Geddy Lee Jazz and fit a P pickup in place of the neck J pickup. I have the pickups ready and I'll need a replacement bwb scratchplate made to fit it too (although I might ask bassdoc to make that).

Anyone know of someone good nearby?

Stuart from Peter Cooks In Hanwell West London will sort that out for ya!

Stuart is a great guy, I know him very well. But for this, I'd be more inclined to go to Andy Viccars in MK.

Second shout out for Chandler Guitars at Kew. Does a great job with all my work and is very reasonable. Ask for Andy.

Also, local resident parking control finishes after 12pm so good time to go in the afternoon:)

Paul_C of this very forum is not far in Northants.

One of his own builds is on sale in the classifieds - so you can have a look at the quality. He looks after all my basses and has done pickup installations between existing ones for me (Squeezing a P between a pair of J on my Status)

The Gallery. Although NW as opposed to W.

Brinsley is still there for 6 strings but Andy's your man for bass.
