For most of the basses produced we have had 2 people in the set-up working on them. They always come to my bench for the last few final steps as well as any adjustments that I feel the bass needs. For the last year or so I have been doing 'both' set-up and assembly jobs. I would prefer doing only one of the two jobs if at all possible. Start and Finish does not mean start 'thru' finish. It just means that I am involved at the beginning, the end and in-between when needed. The final set-up is always me. I like knowing what goes in the case!
