Owen Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I am happy with my bass and have had no DB GAS for 20 years. But sometimes I wonder if it is tweakable. Luthier GAS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShergoldSnickers Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 [quote name='TPJ' timestamp='1383562109' post='2265770'] [u][b]Peter Hall in Beverley, East Ridings[/b][/u] Peter does really nice work, is a great guy, and is very affordable. [url="http://www.peterhallviolins.com/instruments/contact.html"]http://www.peterhall...ts/contact.html[/url] [/quote] You get real old fashioned professional service from Peter. He can't do enough for you — it's more like visiting a family member than a shop! Really impressed by the quality of his work, the advice I've had and his prices. All round splendid fella.

Hector Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Popped in for my roughly annual bass MOT at Laurence Dixon's place. Lovely work as ever. As well as his mid range Hungarian basses, he's now doing chinese basses, which he imports and then sets up himself - planing the board, new bridge etc. They're priced at £1000 - not bad considering any £500 bass would need about £500 of set up to be a decent player! He also has a January sale on, so they're at £800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdLib-3 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) I'd like to add a recommendation for Nick Benjamin based in Lewes, East Sussex [email protected] Very helpful guy, was willing to take a look at my EUB when I was struggling to find someone locally who could sort out the problem even though it appeared to electrical. Nick quickly diagnosed and solved the issue. Worth keeping in mind if you live in the Sussex area.. Edited March 27, 2017 by EdLib-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnarlythotep. Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Any problems with your double bass?, just throw it away and buy a completely hand tooled, beautifull new instrument from Will Mackay based way up in Caithness. Classic instruments of the future and a worthwhile investment for any serious musician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend fancying something there and she just wants to make sure he is ok. I just bought a bass from Ben last weekend. Spent over 2 hours there and tried out 11 basses. Ben is a very nice fellow and knows his stuff well. And yes, do bring a tuner as you need to bring it to standard tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Lady called Helen Pegram, was working at Tim Toft's in Stone. Seems very knowledgeable and comes highly recommended. I was told she'd left Toft's, and then I found a post that said she'd gone freelance. Anyone know? .. just if she IS available direct I might take my bass along. Ta.
