Hey Willem, I'm anxious to get your response to my posting regarding the "fair fees" bass restringing. It sounds like you make lots more money in your market than I do in mine. Tuning $65 Regulation $500-600 grand (includes hammer reshape, string voice and hammer voicing) Refinishing (my refinisher charges) $1800-$2000 Restringing $1000-$1100 Please give me you thoughts on my experience. P.S. We enjoyed your visit a couple of years ago.
