simon_says Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Not a reference to the Royal baby but the fact that I have just got my bass back and it is sounding tremendous. I sent it to Peter Tyler just outside Maidenhead for 10 days and he sprinkled his magic fairy dust on it and did a fantastic job - it went away a boy and came back a man. Whether it was the new Kaplan strings, fixing a few small open joints between the front and the sides or re-hairing the bow, the combination has made it more responsive to the bow, given it a deeper resonant sound and louder too. The rattles on the E and A strings when playing [i]fff [/i]have gone and I am like a kid with a new toy and a big smile on my face! It is amazing what a good luthier can do.

oggiesnr Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Nice one I know that feeling when you get a bass back, hit a note and go "WOW", nothing like it. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTB Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Peter is great. My bass is a broken wreck that Peter lovingly rebuilt & it retains the scars but sounds wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
