Pow_22 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Just recieved my second custom made scratchplate off Howard. As before it fits perfect, not just that but he sorted out making the pot holes bigger to accomodate the CTS pots. Kept me upto date throughout, highly recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollington Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Bass Doc supplied me with a pearl effect scratch place for my SR5 much cheaper than Strings and Things. Brilliant fit all done in time for my next show. It's common knowledge that his custom plates improve your sound. Cheers Howard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Got two scratch plates made and they look the biz! Quick turnaround and hassle free. Four pages of positive feedback speaks for itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papalampraina Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Howard is a great guy, very easy to deal with and I'm glad I made him a bit more happier with the tuners I sold him. PS: Next time I'll send an unsolved crossword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whizzzy Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Just bought some parts off Howard in what was a smooth and easy transaction. Great communication throughout and would be happy to deal with him again any day. Thanks Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immo Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 My strings arrived after an easy and nice transaction. No problems with communication - I see Bass Doc's reputation is well earned. Pleasure doing business, I hope I'll deal with him again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shonks Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 my 2nd deal with the 'Doc' and its all been good!! thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Howard put some bits out of his spares stash together into a lovely little custom bridge for me, exactly what I wanted & it looks so much better now than what was on my 51P MiJ. Built & posted practically overnight, service with a smile, great guy to deal with. He's a diamond gent that's for sure.

Beedster Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Not that Howard needs any more positive feedback, but having sent him a few bits of vintage Rickenbacker/Rickenfaker/Rickalike a month or so back, I wasn't overly optimistic that the sum of the parts would add up to much. Needless to say I'm now the proud owner of a rather nice sounding - and more importantly extremely well rebuilt and set-up - 4001-alike. To be honest, there's no better way to get your bass work done; stick it in a box, send it to Howard, and hey presto, a couple of weeks latter back comes the same box with a somewhat nicer instrument inside! It's like waking up on Xmas morning! Cheers Doc C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt P Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 just picked up my bass from the doc, custom scratch plate, wiring and a setup. it's perfect. Thanks Doc Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Howard dropped a John East U-Retro into my BB415 & also a double battery box - cut a new backplate for it too - brilliant job - thanks. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelagnostic Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The Bass Doc has just cured me of some Stingray pickguard GAS. Cheaper than BUPA, quicker than the NHS, with the medication received being very palatable indeed! Seriously though, 2 MM pickguards, both fantastic, made within 2 days, fitting service offered, I got to chat to a near legend (who may yet custom make me my perfect bass) and all this for £20 less than ONE pickguard from WD music would have cost.

Mod_Machine Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Helpful and honest (as always) taking my gear to another level...and ultimately making me sound better than i actually am! Cheers Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Howard bought a pickup from me. Good comms, prompt payment, advised when the item was delivered. All good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Steve Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Howard made me a 70's pattern red tort scratchplate for a '73 P-bass and it's a dead ringer for the real thing. I genuinely didn't think it could be done but I am stunned at the quality and Howard has been very communicative and a pleasure to do business with. The price was exceptional and was less than inferior products out there. Howard, please retire immediately or I think you'll end up bankrupting me!!

2x18 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 And yet another lovely, top quality Torty scratchplate, custom made for my Jag Bass by Howard. Thanks Doc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Just remembered - weeks ago Howard made me a special little black [s]dress[/s] control plate for a Jazz bass. 1st class job as always, cheap as chips & even went to extreme length to post it while on his hols, (from somewhere in the lake district I think!). He's a 24 carat gold fella. Cheerz Doc, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Howard made me a replacement scratchplate and trussrod cover for my Epiphone Tbird. He was very patient with my waffling and very clear about what he needed to do the work. The work is nicely done, within my budget, and quickly received. I hope to deal with him again. many thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
