The longest wait

[marcus bell]

Hey guys just wondering what's the longest you've ever waited for a bass to come back from being worked upon?

I took my jaydee to John diggins around the start of may to being refurbed and a few modifications and it's still not ready, needless to say I'm missing it a bit but I know the guy is busy and I also know it'll look lovely when it's ready... Just so long the wait has been

had some quick mods to my 77 strat - job done in no time at all but spent an hour or so just chatting drinking tea - thanks very much Mr Zemaitis

Depends on the person doing the work, the work to be done, if there are 'complications' - and if you are willing to pay for emergency action.

I've been lucky but then I do all the fiddling myself, so I know I can't trust myself to have it done in time!

I took my fretless to overwater to do a fairly simple fix in the electrics. At the time I didnt know i was to become a dad and I got it back after my daughter was born! must have been 9/10 months!!

I gave my '57 RI precision to a luthier in Macclesfield for a set up. He said it would take 2 weeks. It was over a year before I saw it again and he hadn't done a thing to it.
