i also want to add a jazz pickup. im going to replace the pots to dual concentric pots so i can minimize wood work. anyone recommend any places in the LA area? also. how much do you guys think these jobs would cost?

if you live the area closer to Fullerton, the technician who does his work next to GuitarCenter is pretty good, I forgot his name but he has his workshop back of the small music academy. if you are in downtown/hollywood area, there're bunch of repair/mod places on Sunset blvd. I believe. price varies depends on the person though...

There's also the Amp Shop/Bass Exchange on Ventura Blvd. In Sherman Oaks. Tina is the tech there and I hear she does great work. Many of my bass buddies, some who are very well known and tours with big name acts, use her as a tech. I don't know about prices though.

there's a little place close to where I live, across the street from SIR studios, but I've never been there so I can't say how good the work is.

I used to go to the guy above SoundMatrix studios in Westminster, or to Steve Soest in Orange. Steve's a GURU!!!

No idea where in LA you are, but there is a place called "the frethouse" in Covina, they're pretty good.
