BassJase Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I bought my first neck-through bass recently, and I need to find someone to set the bugger up for me. I've done the best I can with it, but I like my action to be as low as possible, and with this neck-through design I just can't seem to lower it enough. Normally I would put a shim in the help it out a little, but thats a no-go on this. If anyone knows someone who might be able to do this for a reasonable price then please let me know. I'd much rather the cash went to a BC-er than a faceless shop who'll charge silly money for a half-hours work! Cheers y'all. Quote
BassBod Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Look up Mo Clifton (cliftonbasses.co.uk) based in Blackheath? Quote
Clarky Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Or Bass Gallery in Camden (about £40 from memory for a normal set-up or £80 if fret-stoning needed) Quote

I'm dropping my Jazz at Mo's tomorrow for a setup and pickup installation -- sounds a nice chap on the phone. Quote
misrule Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Chris McIntyre in Peckham does a good job. He set up my Thunderbird which now plays like a dream. [url="http://www.mcintyreguitars.com/contact.htm"]His address[/url] Cheers Mark Quote
chris_b Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 If you're in North London, then the Gallery would be the best place to start asking about set ups. Quote

Fast service (it was ready in 24hrs), pleasant chap to deal with and I'm very happy overall. Recommended. Quote
