To all U.K. TB-er's - I need a good bass technician!

Sign in to disble this ad
As the title says, I'm in the U.K. and I hope some TB-er's might be able to suggest a good bass technician, preferably near or around to Manchester.

I need to have the bass re-fret as well as the neck setting properly. I'm normally okay at doing this, but no amount of fiddling is working for me on my current bass and I'm struggling to set the action with the new Gotoh bridge installed. So it's time to admit defeat before I do some damage and hand the bass over to someone with a fresh eye (so to speak).

Cheers guys!

I've never had any work done with this guy, but check out www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk

He's in Stockport I think, and always seems a busy fella (a good sign I would guess). I shot him a few emails a while back and he seemed a good guy with reasonable prices.

Let us know how you get on
