Free setup work!

[Twincam]

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!.

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.

Nice one.....like any good apprenticeship you have to put in the time and gain practical experience so well done 👍

Good luck Aidan.

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.

Best of luck with it Aidan. I know how satisfying it is to work with one's hands.

Yup, go for it Aidan ! You've certainly posted helpful and practical advice here. All the best.

Hi Aidan, ell done. I hope you are successful and I will certainly look to popping a bass in for you to work on when I get up your way.

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!
