Reccomend me a Luthier in Surrey / Berks please...

[dougal]

Hiya. 

 

I have a B&H 400 that's in need of a new bridge, possibly a sound-post reset, and a general set-up. 

 

I've always gone to Malcom Healy in the past (http://www.healeyviolins.co.uk/) but as it's a cheap bass he didn't sell me he's not interested. 

 

I'm at Junction 9 on the M25. 

 

Reccomendations for a luthier in Surrey please....

Jerome Davies looks after my lovely 19th century bass, and he's a top man

Yes, I’ve just seen this thread and also used to go to Malcolm Healey until he said he was too busy. I went to Jerome and he set up my two DBs. Good chap.
