I contacted him last year to see if he would remove the active electronics from my MIA Jazz Deluxe and set it up passive with new Lindy Fralin pickups and new pots. I told him that since I lived a few miles from him, I would drop the bass off rather than pay shipping. He responded by saying that he works out of his house and that my presence there was unnecessary and unwanted. He also said that it was impossible to wire the bass the way I had asked. I sent him an email asking for an explanation as to why it couldn't be done and included responses from other places, all of whom said they could do the job for me. He responded with a series of profanity laced emails in which he accused me of "calling him out" and made several threats to kill me. I kept the emails and informed him that I would be forwarding everything to the police if he ever contacted me again. He ignored that request and again emailed me and threatened to kill me. I contacted the police and the threats stopped. I ended up bring the bass to Guitar Doctor in Whitman, Massachusetts and they set up the bass exactly as I wanted.
