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....
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:

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.

I'm currently negotiating an interstate deal with the guys there! Seem like a cool bunch of fellas.

Nah, not needed. I have a Certificate of Authenticity for a 355JL instead!
I'll get it to you soon, mate!

Thanks Brett, much appreciated, however, they are throwing in the freight at no extra cost!!

You are absolutely correct Brian, but.....
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!

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...
