Bit of a Bee fan,like myself,Ive contacted Fred Bolton (Bee luthier) 4 years back,he can send to the UK,but there is a massive waiting time atm,if Im right,in thinking...You also might like Listerud (Odd Helge,from Norway)

Mansons? They're in Exeter and are best known for making basses for John Paul Jones and guitars for Matt Bellamy from Muse...

Not all of them will do 7-strings but many of them will and I'm sure that other BassChatters will chime in with the names of any luthiers I've missed out.
