76 4001 needs work in Austin,Texas

Post by ghettoshelf »

I am looking for an experienced repairman in Texas. I would prefer not shipping this bass. I have several basses, but at this time this is my main player,and don't want to be without it for an extended time.
The problems,
The trussrod nuts are bent down.
A crack has developed around the 5th-7th fret between the neck and fretboard.
It still plays fine but would like to get it addressed before it gets worse.
Thanks!

Welcome, Curt! Fran here from over at Talkbass. :wink: Folks, I invited Curt over to see if we can get his baby back in shape. I thought maybe the "Vibrola" category? Perhaps Peter, or a mod can bump it down? Thanks!
