Don't it always seem to go ................

.....till it's gone.

Some time ago on here I bought a Lak JO5 neck on here for a good price - basically I could not stop myself, you know how it is. I now of course need the rest of the bass to go with it. I became aware that Chopthebass would make a Jazz body and route it for my hardware. I put this info into my memory banks for when the time comes to build the next bass I do not need.

It now transpires that Mr Chopthebass is not actually sitting waiting for my phone call so that he can finally build me a body, but is off to Canada and does not have the time to do the work I need. I am entirely cool with that, but now I need someone else who will do the same work.

All I want is a plain ash body which will be give a dose of oil and a decent tort pickguard by me. It will need to be routed for a wider 5 string neck and 5 string pick ups.

Who out there will create one for me? Mr chopthebass cannot be the only one in the world doing this kind of thing.

Try contacting either Jon Shuker in Sheffield, Status-Graphite in Essex or Bernie Goodfellow at GB Guitars. All decent luthiers and you'll be entirely happy with the results.

Thanks for that, and I'm sure the results would be fabulous, but I am not convinced they could match Ian's fabulous prices

Warmoth do a [url="http://www.warmoth.com/bass/bodies/deluxe5.cfm?fuseaction=include_deluxe5_j"]Deluxe J 5[/url] type, and the price seems to be comparable (at current exchange rate before shipping). They have different routing options too.
