You could ask. I believe he does.

haha. i know, its crazy. but ya know, i just love my bass, but i hate its pups tone. so i figure, i could shell out 2 grand for a lakland decade, which would b sweet. but i don't have that cash. and its just a maple body and naeck, with darkstars. and my ibanez has amazing build quality. so i figure ill save the cash, and throw darkstars in it. and get that AMAZING tone.

Unfortunately, I'm a little too busy to take on this project. I'd recommend that you contact Norio Imai. He was Roger Sadowsky's main repair man for about 15 years before he opened his own shop in NYC.

That right there is one of the most disarmingly real luthier websites I've ever seen.
something tells me he's worth what he charges.
