You forgot the ;) emoji... not being a luthier, I do many things (myself) to make a bass playable and sounding good - but I also have a relationship with a journeyman luthier who makes my necks to my specs. He does that very well and I choose not to. Self sufficiency is not a bad thing and there's place for both in the world. :bassist: Good luck to your daughter. :thumbsup: - the world will always need good luthiers.
LOL, I was kinda joking but my emoji sometimes doesn't appear.I suck at computer.Also I was talking about my sending my luthiers daughter through college.He actually made this comment jokingly to me due to our long relationship and the business I bring. It worked (emoji) this time! No it didn't.See what I mean?

The apostrophe is the crux of the biscuit.

exactly

So I did read it correctly.

Bit rich a Scotsman dishing out English lessons but here goes :laugh:

"luthiers" means multiple luthiers. Adding an apostrophe represents ownership , "luthier's daughter" = daughter of luthier.

There is also luthiers' ( ' ) placed after a noun to show that the noun owns something. The luthiers' "tools" or "shop" etc.
 
Two of the tuning machines have now failed on my new long-scale copperburst Dano 59 DC bass. (using D'Addario ECB81 chromes flats)
I plan to replace all of the tuning machines on my three Dano basses at this point.
I'd like to keep the look of the small knobs as much as possible. Recommendations?
I've used Sperzel Trim-Lock bass tuners with guitar keys. I had them professionally installed as they aren't a drop-in replacement. They're probably less expensive than one might think.

Are they drop-in replacements?
Look to be, they’re at my luthier atm
