Best place to get a setup done Portsmouth

[JamesBass]

So I've just bought some new flat wounds and am going to be fitting some new pickups and wiring loom to my P Bass shortly, just wondering where the best place in Portsmouth is to get this all done? I probably could do it all myself but I'd rather have it done by someone more experienced as I need my bass to be in working order as quick as possible really. Cheers!

Ah, well I'm not due that East for a while, but I'll bare yourself in mind if I do need someone when I am that Far East! Expect an inbox in the coming minutes regarding the wiring loom!

Gents, I work in Fontwell, live in Burgess Hill and rehearse in Hailsham. Could work out a friendly BassChat relay service if you want.

Rich is a great guy.

Jeff Smith in Waterlooville, Steve Johnston in Hilsea (was deemed good enough to repair Mark Knopfler's 'Romeo' guitar), Graham Wheeler in Worthing (ex Roger Giffen, used to do Clapton's guitars). All done work for me to a very high standard.

Jeff lives not far from South Downs.

He may be a great guy but is he any good ? Have you had any work done by him ? I had spotted him online and thought of trying him for some things I felt were beyond my skills. His prices are very good.

Got mine by a Luther that lives about 300 yards from my house in Copnor!

Very impressive site. Copnor, who'd have thought it! :-)

Yep, the 'great guy' was referring to his skills. Steve Johnson in Hillsea is good too as mentioned in a previous post. Both are personal friends and trusted craftsmen.

I've used the guy from PJ's to do three setups and a refret, and all have been very good (pretty cheap too compared to some other luthiers)
