sellisnba Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hi all. I was just wondering if anyone had heard from bassdoc recently. I sent an inquiry over regarding a custom pick guard a while ago but have heard nothing back. Is bassdoc still in business? Staying on topic, could anyone tell me how much he charges for tort shell p bass pickguards? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 He's not been well - I've sent several PMs and texts which have gone unanswered, so I presume he must still be recovering. I hope he's OK!! Get well soon Uncle, if you're reading this! Hope you're back to rude health ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I'm sure he will get back to you as soon as he's better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I saw him on Saturday and he is OK. But he was laid low for a while with a virus and may still be working his way through a backlog... I think you could expect a PG for around £30.... depends really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibody Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yes I did, I passed on a message to Billy Apple regarding a custom pickguard I'd paid Howard to make in March (few days before he got ill). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt [/quote] Hmmm, looks that way, or moved. It was a pinned thread from a few months ago by Billy Apple. He said that the Doc was recovering and planning to get the backlog cleared up. Sean (BA) offered to help by collating all outstanding order info via PM to help make sure that nothing was missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then passed the information on to the Doc for his attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]He hasn't answered my PMs and texts for months on end, but on the other hand he was always very straight ahead, helpful and honest in the many dealings I had with him before this - so I'm guessing something radical and life-changing has happened to him. I hope he's OK. Edited December 3, 2014 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
