In July 1998 I began to ask other bassists to contribute names and contact information for luthiers who work on and sell basses, as a resource for others needing such information. The following have been received or found by me so far. Please contribute information to expand this list. Your fellow bassists and I thank you!

I enthusiastically welcome any additional factual information regarding any luthier's activities and services offered, as well as updated email and web addresses.

Please understand that this directory is simply a listing of people and shops that have been submitted to us. Anybody can claim to be a bass repairman regardless of their actual knowledge or experience. Those in this listing are not endorsed or recommended by us, so choose carefully. Getting references from other respected bass players may be the best way to check on the quality of work.

Luthiers are often a great source for new and used instruments, as well as repairs. Also note the Stores, Instruments, Parts section on the Double Bass Links Page where you will find many other sources, including those where you can purchase a bass that has been set-up.
