Fender Jazz needs work
Can any forumites recommend a bass repairer in Sydney, preferably north west or there abouts. I have a Jazz bass deluxe that needs some work.

Hi Brett! Sorry not to see this earlier - been away....Aussiericlover wrote:Can any forumites recommend a bass repairer in Sydney, preferably north west or there abouts. I have a Jazz bass deluxe that needs some work.
For generic work, I use Dave Scotland at Turramurra Music. Not too far?
For hardcore work, refins and restorations, Frank Grubisa of Grubisa Guitars is the man: http://www.grubisaguitars.com/
But he's inner West...
Is the problem a broken truss rod or a fret issue?

Brett, Frank is the man. Be prepared to wait a while though as he is usually pretty busy.

Re: Fender Jazz needs work
Yeah, thanks for that. Another momentary blonde moment on my part.
Re: Fender Jazz needs work
Thanks Brett, much appreciated, however, they are throwing in the freight at no extra cost!!gellkeller wrote:Greg, if you need me to pick anything up for you just let me know.

You are absolutely correct Brian, but.....winston wrote:Greg..............nothing is free mate, not even when it appears to be.
When they are offering a product at 25% less than everyone else is selling for, and then, when i asked them to include freight charges in the total , they drop the price an extra $5 dollars.... that's as good as free for me!

Re: Fender Jazz needs work
These guys were the first Aussies to sell instruments at a discount to RRP. I've dealt with them since I was a scrawny 17 year old and Rob, the owner, is one of life's true gentlemen. Rarely a Rick in sight there though...gregga41 wrote:You are absolutely correct Brian, but.....winston wrote:Greg..............nothing is free mate, not even when it appears to be.
