Hi, Andre here. I'm looking for someone in South Africa - preferably Cape Town - who can service my Fender.

The contact section unfortunately has no South Africa contact details.
I bought the bass about a year ago, The serial number has been scratched off, yeah weird I know, shares the same style as the 80's jazz bass, has the Fender name on the back of the neck where the bridge starts, she plays like a Fender and has that sweet tone as well. Recently I've gotten a earthing issue, as well as a intonation problem with my low E.

Will post a pic if anyone has any details for me.

Shot a lot for the read!

:)

Any skill luthier can work on your Bass . Don't need to be a Fender music store . Bass and guitar are so easy to fix .

Don't find any luthier on phone book or with Google ?

A bit o' noise yeah. It's just I don't want to work on the bass without having the proper knowledge, she's my baby.

But any tips on sorting out the intonation would be schweet. Could save me some cash.

IMO your bass need a truss rod adjustment. Neck loose the proper neck bow with so many years . This wrong neck bow change intonation.

You'll need study how to do carefuly but it is very simple when you know .
And you need few basic tools but good one , good quality Allen key for truss rod nut. If Allen key is loose in truss rod nut you'll damage it.


Fender set up guide ; good for any bass;
www.fender.com/support/articles/bass-guitar-setup-guide

Also look on you Tube ; bass set up

A set up is need at least once a year so it pay to learn how
