MichaelDean Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hi everyone, I started making my own bass from my own hand drawn plans a while ago, using a friend's workshop. [url="http://imgur.com/a/eEPAl"]Album here.[/url] It stalled a couple of years ago and now I don't have the same amount of time that I did before, nor access to the tools. I've been contacting luthiers in the area (Bristol), but either I don't get a response or they don't want to do it. I do understand their point of view. They'd rather start something from scratch rather than deal with surprises from another build. The work I’d like to get done is:[list] [*]Trim the fretboard to the neck, radius (12”) & fret it [*]Central block levelled (even only roughly, I can sand to flat) [*]Pickup cavities routed [*]Control and battery cavities routed [*]Holes for controls drilled (or at least the selector switch) [*]Linking cavities with holes for wires [*]Bridge ground hole put in (I’m not going for the individual ones as per the album, I’ve got a MM style) [/list] Can anyone recommend someone that can help? I understand that it's possibly not the most enticing job for someone, but it's something that I'd really like to get finished! Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manton Customs Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I could help, but I'm a good 2 hours from Bristol! So if you don't mind posting the bass feel free to send a PM or email (address on the website). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
