dballona Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Hey folks. I'm looking for a shop with good reputation/recommendation to replace the electronics in my Warwick (basically replace pre/pickups, see the thread below). The workshop I usually go is in North London and lately has just taken too long to get things done, so looking for something closer to home. Would love any recommendations!

OliverBlackman Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Charlie Chandlers for SW. replaced the pups on my Fender P bass to Lindy Fralins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Charlie Chandlers generally seem to get glowing feedback on the internet, despite not being bass specific. I'm probably going to take a few bits of guitar kit to them to sell on consignment next month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Obviously there's The Bass Gallery in Camden. Edited June 23, 2023 by TheGreek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKenrick Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I had a relatively poor experience with Charlie Chandlers (pickups wired in back to front, bass came back filthy) but I'm a fan of Richmond Guitar Workshop if that's not too far to go. Andrew who works there does all the bass stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Bit more South than South West but Feline in Croydon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Another vote for Feline https://felineguitars.com/ Jonathan is a stone cold genius. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 if you can be tempted a bit more SE, Wickham Audio in Brockley https://www.wickhamaudio.co.uk/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Another vote for Jonathan at Feline. He maintained all my basses before I moved away, did some electronic transplants, and set up one of my basses that was nigh-on unplayable so that it's now pretty much the best-playing bass that I own! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 If you can get to Orpington I strongly recommend Jimi at Planet Guitar he's worked on my basses for years. Nicest bloke you'll ever meet too. https://www.planetguitar.org.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dballona Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 For other people's future reference – I went to Feline and it was a phenomenal experience. Jonathan got stuff done in 2 days am I couldn't be happier with the service. Recommended! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
