Welcome to Los Angeles Bass Works

Los Angeles Bass Works was established to give the Double Bass the care and attention it deserves but had not always received in the past. Our mission is to ensure that bassists have instruments in good working order to help them hone, perfect and continue their craft. As we are both active bassists as well, we bring a uniquely musical skill set to our work as luthiers.

Our goal as a business is to continue assisting bassists from any age, background, status or ability level to find their instrument's best voice and condition. We perform all types of repairs, restorations and setups, from changing strings to gluing seams and cracks, cutting a new bridge to reshaping or replacing a fingerboard, cleaning and polishing a bass to sound post patches, fitting new sound posts to fitting new bass bars, tuning gear, endpin and tailpiece repair or replacement, scroll or neck grafts, low C (or B) extensions, conversions to travel basses, repairing broken necks and scrolls, and a variety of other small and large repairs. Cumulatively, we have many decades of experience in both bass performance and luthier work. Please call or email at your earliest convenience to make an appointment for a consultation.
