universal bass string deadness

[Bigeartb@AOL.COM]

In response to M. Farrell's reply to string deadness. I believe the best 
business practice is to give the customer the very best. If one offers 
inferior work then they become known  as the tuner that will "rig" anything 
for a little bit of money. I'd rather not work on an instrument if the 
customer will not allow me to repair it to the best  of my ability . I 
realize I am in a position to pick and choose work. I still believe to 
compromise on craftmanship and workmanship by using inferior materials is not 
in your best interest as a craftsman and businessman nor the customers best 
interest.
With that kind of business practice you will manage to get all the "junk" 
tunings. I hope that I am known as the very best technician/tuner . Not that 
I am necessarily the cheapest and will repair anything....anyway. I only want 
to strive for the best I can be and I therefore must not be swayed by the 
customer to do inferior work just to save a little money. This is my business 
philosophy and its has worked pretty good.
