Here's a question about simple repair jobs, for both those who can do them on their own, and for those who have to have the work done by others.
What's the typical cost for something like a nut replacment, fret dressing, set-up, and other small jobs? I just took the Holy Crap bass to a new luthier to get a bone nut put on it. The job will cost me about $80. My normal luthier is extremely cheap, but I guess I never realized just how cheap he was.
