I'm looking for an expert for repairing Rickenbacker basses (neck with upbow), preferably in Switzerland, Germany or Austria.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

This guy is a decent sort, and he gets some very favourable comments about his maintenance and setups. He might be worth asking. If he doesn't do this sort of work himself, I'm sure he'll know someone who does. He does deal with folks in mainland Europe on occasion, I know.

I bought my 4003 off him, by the way. Went to his house to colllect it and got a good deal. Positive experiences here.

EDIT Looking at the website, I somehow get the impression that this is a different setup to the one I dealt with back in 2004, when they were called "Rics 'R' Us". Just a hunch, might be worth you asking to be sure.
