Help Needed Upstate NY

[cms]

Hello everyone,
I hope this is an appropriate posting here. I am looking for someone to convert basses to fretless and apply polyester/epoxy/CA etc. in the upstate NY area. I am in the Utica/Syracuse region.

Thanks!
Chad

Thanks for responding p5string, Thor's so backlogged I was looking for other options if possible.

Check with Bob MacBlane down in Preble - he's done a lot of great work for me, and reasonably priced, too:

Thank you mesaplayer83!

Thank you mesaplayer83!

You're welcome - I'm out of Syracuse, and have found the quality of Bob's work to be well worth the drive to Preble... The most recent job he did for me was replacing the trussrod on this Mustang - which is no small task, since he had to remove and replace the fretboard to do it:



He also did some work on the fingerboard of this bass, although I didn't ask him to resin coat it - he stained it black and treated it with waterglass:

Hey, I'm out of Utica. Those are beautiful Fenders, I'll bet that Mustang has to be fun!
How's the waterglass holding up?
Are you gigging anywhere in the area?

Thanks, and yeah - I'm digging the Mustang way more than I ever thought I would... Although I'm primarily a P bass player, that Mustang sounds great in a band mix, and is a breeze to play... The Waterglass doesn't have a mark on it yet, despite playing rounds on it - I'd strongly recommend considering that approach... Lastly, I'm in Syracuse on Saturday, then down to Greek Peak for NYE - as for your area, I *think* I'm at Lukins in Utica in March, and definitely at the Turning Stone Casino in February and again in April...
