spoiled?

The Bass I played and owned for nearly 20 years now has Rogeri papers attached to it. Regardless of the name, it was a fantastic 'to die for' bass. With all of the basses I now have which are mostly inventory (business), only a few of them were purchased for personal use. Although I do switch around a bit trying most of them out here and there, it's mostly for evaluation purposes. Until a Bass is fully restored and broken in afterwards, I can't say if it's something that I will want to keep. With owning only one Bass (or two), that's usually not an option. Anyway, I don't want to get off topic here but I do know what it's like to wait for a bass to come from restoration. On average I think that 6-12 months is normal for big restoration jobs. Some can easily take longer. The longer the Bass has been in dis-repair, the longer it might take to get the Bass all squared away. So, anytime you can have a bass fully restored by a good bass Luthier in less than a year, you are doing just fine time wise.. |

Maybe that's so, and that I'm the lucky guy! Heh, that's a strange, unusual feeling.
In both Sweden and Norway the more popular of the luthiers are drowning in work. I guess it's the same everywhere. Maybe that's a more lucrative market than that for simply playing..? |

It's Done!!!!
Well, after a 21 month wait, it's done and in my grubby little hands.
Plays great, very clear punchy sound, not overly bassy or boomy, sweet jazzy sound. Pics to follow. |

So, who was this mysterious luthier that did such a great job for such a reasonable cost?
