UK based luthiers for a custom body?

[minty fresh death]

I was hoping someone could recommend me a good UK luthier who could do this for me

A 4 string maple telecaster shaped body in gloss black
Heel cut for a status graphite p neck, using a 6 bolt neck plate
Routing for two humuckers, compatible with the modern player pick-guard:

Routing for active electronics and battery compartment
String through body

This chap has been used by a BC'er recently and was very good.

This is a Telecaster bass he built

There's one obvious choice IMO... Jon Shuker. Have a look here. [url="http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/pbassgallery.html"]http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/pbassgallery.html[/url]

I don't think so mate, send him a pm? Discreet has a beautiful p/tele bass made by him and lots of others have had him do stuff too

Cool, i've sent him a pm. Is he on here much?

Does anyone have a contact number?

The bass doc pops up from time to time on here, he might be out gigging tonight, if you haven't heard from him by tomorrow afternoon drop me a pm and I'll give you his number, don't have it on me at the moment.
