What do you reckon has to be done?
Well , I've decided to start learning by building actually building a bass,I guess that is the way to really start understanding the craft.
There is not a fortune of information on the net regarding actual restoration techniques etc (at least I have not managed to find much) , but there are some great books out there!
It may just be hunch but it seems that luthiers like to keep their techniques pretty much to themselves , understandable I guess.....
