Help fixing and setup? - RB Bass
Hi,
I am defenitely not a builder. I know that, but quite a few years back i did have fun completing a Rickenbaker style bass. Took me a couple of years on and (mostly) off but eventually got to somehing that I quite like the look of, alas is not wokring well. :(
It is playable but the wiring is probably all messed up from an electronics point of view, knobs don't all do what they are supposed to and I suspect the pickups and bridge are not well positioned, sounds crap. I changed the bridge it came with which caused the action to be too high, and had to 'dig' the bridge into the body to maintain the level.
I am sure there are many other things wrong with it that someone who knows what they are doing would be able to pickup straight away. :p

Sadly this bass has been sitting there unplayed as I really don't have the skills or energy to make it right. But I would love for it to be salvaged and brought up to life so I could add it the other (purchased) basses I play with.
Would anyone in the Sydney area be interested in fixing this beauty (for a fee) so it can get the life it deserves and is played on regularly?
I know it is not the purpose of this groups or building kits, but one has to recognise his limitations - and there is so much talent in this group someone might be interested in fixing this project - again for a reasonable fee.
Otherwise recommendations on local setup and fixers who might be interrested (Eastwood/Epping area) would be great.
Cheers
Julien
