- Thread starter Kalyptic
- Start date
I can point you in the right direction for luthiers in sydney.
what exactly do you want though? a built bass or some setup/repair?
theres a - realy - good luthier here in sydney that - generaly - isnt accessable by the public and hes pretty expensive (paint jobs start at 1k) but apparently hes world class.
talk to the guys at guitar factory in penrith.

Dan's a nice guy and makes nice instruments but he's in Brisbane. He's also a repair guy at Otecho Guitars.
His shipments go to Burpengary, is that a suburb of Brisbane? The man uses some fine..fine..woods!!!
yes, it's near Brisbane...not far north of the city...
you send them to Burpengary, QLD (correct?) The Queensland border is about 9-10 hours north of Sydney by car...and Brisbane is another 1 1/2 hours from there...
For what you are after I would say Jeff Malia. His builds are pretty expensive though, and his wait time is quite long from what I can tell.
I have a Rick Miruzzi, but I don't know how up to the task Rick is these days. I also have a Chris Mirow fretless Pennybass which is a very nice thing in my opinion. I have asked Chris to build my single course 8 string, but I am going to have the electronics and pickups ordered. Chris also makes his own pickups. I'm not really at liberty to give his number out but if you are serious about getting some work done I might be able to contact him for you.
Anyway here is a picture of the Mirow and Miruzzi with my Musicman. The walnut bass is the Mirow and the paduak one is the Miruzzi.
