Recommendation of double bass Luthier for bridge replacement in SE London area

[FunkyDude]

Hi All, any suggestion please? I know Laurence Dixon is the nearest one but he is not taking in any works at the moment. So I need to find another one!

 

Thanks.

I'm also interested. I contacted Laurence last month but haven't been able to get a date for a setup.

I went over to his shop earlier this afternoon. The front door shuttle was half opened and there were loads of boxes piling up at the front. The shop appeared to be emptied as no one comes out after me knocking! Don't look like he'll be able to take in any works in for another month or two.

Oh, that is worrying. I hope he’s OK, he did a great job of work on my Bryant.

I hope he's fine too. He did a great setup on mine a while ago. Probably took in more works then he could managed. I will try again next month update you guys.

Hi All, glad to update you guys that Laurence is back taking in works now. I dropped off my bass this morning at his shop and had a chat with Laurence. Really nice fellow.
