Twincam Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Well in some part thanks to the forum for being there for me And in part as I have some new tools. I want to keep my hand in also. Lol nearly had a bad do in life but to cut a long story short I want to do luthery work. And more than a few people some bc members. Have told me I should go for it. I can do basic setups (to exacting standards!). Advance setup work. Fret work, leveling, re crown, shaping to a customers needs, and 4 stage mirror polish. Fret board leveling, ski jump correction and neck angle correction. Some electrical work. Routing and other mods. I'm very good at getting a nut perfect! Or correcting past setup mistakes. Basically setup wise I can make a instrument perfect. Also I'm experienced in small body work repair. I'm offering free fret work, free setup work. And in detail setup work, frets, relief, action, intonation etc etc. Basically I love getting an instrument feeling perfect or as near so. I do get a real kick out of helping others. So if your in the north east. Or need a neck worked on via post or a full bass. I'm willing to undertake most things for free! Just to test myself, and maybe even gain custom when I make this my profession!. Aidan Edited July 31, 2016 by Twincam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebethell Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Fair play and all the best with the dream of doing it full time. I'm sure if I need work I would be happy to send some your way but would have to give a little something towards the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I do a similar thing for friends and acquaintances and never charge, though the people I know usually insist on giving me something. Like you, I treat it all as a learning process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'm building my first bitsa P-Bass at the moment Aidan, I am ok with electrics, adjusting the bridge and truss rod but that's about it. You're more than welcome to be let loose upon the nut and frets once I've completed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
