Bass guy in Houston??

silvertripper · #1 03-15-2010, 11:22 AM

I dont know the right place to stick this post so forgive me ahead of time.

I need my bass set-up and a few things done, who knows a good bass guy in Houston who does good work. I live on the west side.

I refuse to use GC for repairs and set-up.

Thanks

Ron Pace, it takes a good 2-3 weeks to do the job but he is good.

Danny D's does very good work on the south side (League City), but not cheap.

The only thing I'd likely take there is my Ric, G&L L2000 (bought it there), and 76 Pbass. I've bought a lot of equipment from them over the years and their prices are reasonable, but for repair you are gonna pay. Danny has been at it a long long time and can handle anything but you do pay for that kind of expert service.

Cost almost $60 for me to get my nut fixed there... he did a damn good job though. And might I add that bass thier basses are always properly set up.

Man I want that 80's jazz bass they got there!

If you aren't too far from the Woodlands Mike Nedd is reasonable price wise and a good guy to deal with. Might take a couple weeks.

I do not recommend going to Ron Pace. If you search a little you will read a few stories that may sway you toward my opinion. His work has a good rep. in terms of quality but he is an uber-jerk by many accounts (mine included) and takes somewhere between a month and forever. I posted a thread about it a while back if you want to dig it up.
