From the reviews
Took in my 100+ year old german bass for a setup, along with several cracks that needed to be addressed. Andrew did great work at a great price, and made sure to work with me closely to explain everything he did to my instrument and get my input for the setup. Highest marks!
Chicago Bass Works is the go-to bass repair shop in the greater Chicagoland area. Andrew uses state of the art restoration techniques as well as traditional approaches to accomplish the highest quality results out there. You couldn't ask for a more competent repairman.
I’ve had Andrew do lots of work on my bass and everything has always been done with great care and detail, with a fast turn around, and at a very fair price! I’m not sure what else you could possibly want from a luthier!! I recommend him very highly. He also makes killer basses!
I've been going to Andrew for years, he's done so much great work on my bass, from repairing seam openings, to planing my fingerboard, and even constructing a brand new extension machine which has functioned beautifully. There's no better place to take your bass in Chicagoland!
