I'd like to give a shout out to Chris at Hightide guitars in Rusper (West Sussex)
https://hightideguitars.co.uk/

He carried out a fret dress and setup on my Squier Affinity PJ - which turned a cheap bass with fret work worse than English teeth, into something remarkable and now very much playable.

 

I'll be keeping this bass, and now it can proudly stand among my collection of vastly more expensive wood and strings.

 

I am forever grateful to skilled luthiers like Chris and the miracles which they perform.
