Recommend me a London/Surrey based luthier for sorting out action


Recommended Posts

Posted

The action on my beloved Stingray 4HH has been out of sorts for the past year or so and the usual truss rod/saddle height adjustment doesn't seem to be able to sort the issue out. I'm guessing it might need someone with better skills who can look at the frets and neck angle etc.

Could anyone recommend me a luthier in London/Surrey who's a wizard at this kind of stuff?

You can't beat The Bass Gallery for all thing luthier including spot on set-ups and general trouble shooting. Beware though, you're liable to come out with at least one new bass as well.

+1 for the Gallery, Martin looked after my Geddy Lee Jazz bass and got the setup just right, and took the time to call me to discuss options having examined the guitar. Price list here: http://thebassgallery.com/workshop - set up for £35. Not bad.

The Bass Gallery is obviously very good. Closer to you is Feline Guitars in Croydon, they have done all my guitar work for years, including three stainless steel refrets. Recommend them highly.

I'd second Chandlers in Hampton wick , He's done a great job with my Status , didn't scoff when i brought in my sentimentally over-valued T-bird to have more work than its worth done on it after loaning it to a moronic user.

Walking into the shop is like going back in time to the 80's mind ...you. Its no glass superstore displaying guitars like an art gallery ... More a mom and pop type store where one counter is sales and the other has have charlie hunched over the bowel's of some poor knackered instrument and the vertically gifted beware of the low hanging guitars/ basses in the roof.

There is a list of BC members that will help other BC members will setup and small repairs at the top of the Repairs And Technical forum.

OBBM in Farnham seems to be your nearest or you can check the list for your self.

Thanks for the plug John but I don't do set-ups, well only on my own basses. Always happy to help BCers with any soldering however.
