Acebassmusic Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1453674422' post='2961746'] Hmm, bit of a gap between me and the next person - no other helpful BCers in Scotland? [/quote] I'm further south than you (7 miles!!) so hopefully that fills the gap a little. I've done bass set-ups, pickup and preamp changes, wiring repairs and changes such as adding coil split switching, shielding, battery box routing (eek!) etc. I will try and help fellow chatters where I can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chienmortbb Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Based on the South Coast too at Poole Dorset. Often in Bournemouth, Southampton, Romsey and Winchester areas. Will do basic setup and any electrics/electronics. Including action, intonation, pickup replacement, preamp design and/or installation, pots, caps Jack sockets and general wiring. Custom instrument cables and speaker/speakon leads. Still learning fretwork and finishing so can't do that at the moment.

Pete1967 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) I'll chuck my hat in the ring.... I'm in Leeds. I can handle most common set up and mod jobs, except the really advanced/awkward stuff and refinishes, and if I can't do it I know exactly where to refer folks to. 😀 Oh and I have a good selection of teas!

Grangur Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Many thanks to all those who've added their names to the list so far. Don't forget though guys; this is an online community. While meeting up is great, don't forget to post about it in the forum and promote discussion online first. No Mod has said anything to me about this, but I don't want this to stop discussions in the repairs forum. If we did my personal fav section of Basschat would go. Thanks again guys.

[/quote] Sorry for the delay in responding - I have a Yamaha Attitude that buzzes/dead notes from about the 15th fret upwards. It also has an action that gymnasts could do their party pieces on. I also have a Fender Jazz std that I just don't use because it's so difficult to play due to poor setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
