I have a genuine 70s P bass that has had the body refinished in 3 tone sunburst, and it is a stunning high quality job! They also made me a new pickguard in abalone for my Mustang bass and that is also First Class. Hope that is of some use to you! Will.

EBS_freak Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Sims is the first port of call. I can vouch for their work. The other you may wish to investigate is - [url="http://www.auroraproject.co.uk"]www.auroraproject.co.uk[/url] ...although I have never seen any of their work.

Not sure how they differ from the SIMS ones, but the looked blummin' good up close. btw - the 'britain's got talent 'link on the aurora site has an amusing youtube video of some poor bloke with a pushy mother-in-law. He plays an LED-equipped ibanez geetar & gets totaly slagged off by Simon Cowell. Perhaps he's intimidated by anyone that can play an instrument .

Golchen Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I got LEDs put on my Chapman stick by SIMS earlier this year. I dropped it off in person and Martin showed me all around the workshop and explained in detail all the features of one of his Enfield basses. It was a very interesting trip and they did a great job. A+ all round from me. Martins a great bloke. Quite expensive though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB1 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 MB1. Hello Jack I previously used to own a Alembic Epic which was one of the first basses Mr Sim put LEDS in(featured in the Bassist Magazine) i bought this from Martin it was one of his Ex demo models.Ive also had Status/warwick basses L.E.D'd by Sims.
