Double Bass Cost of reaming endpin hole?

[TLM]

It might be helpful to ACTUALLY read the posts.

OP asked about this, clearly didn't know how to go about it. Sumgai chimed in with links to a bunch of tools that wouldn't work. Others pointed out that for a one time job you'll be a lot better off just paying to have it done. OP paid to have it done, job completed, short money, satisfaction.

Meantime, another guy with an Alcoa started asking questions, obviously knew a lot more about what he was doing, received some advice, and got the problem solved on his own.

Two people, two different circumstances.

I'm sorry your "I think I can attach this neck and I don't wan't any advice except the EXACT answer to one EXACT question!" thread didn't go the way you expected it to, but many of us are old enough and experienced enough to see when someone is likely better advised to pay for something and when someone is likely to be able to handle a job.

Didn’t need any additional advice. Bass is 90 percent done and and just need paint and string up. This is a sub about fixing basses. Reaming an end pin hole is not rocket science nor was any of the other things haters said were impossible by anyone but a professional. People are on here to learn and ask questions. What’s the point of this sub at all if not to try to get advice. Just have mod close every post with comment that reads “bring to professional” post closed. The second dude has a metal bass, lol. With all the hate on this forum I can’t believe this guy is even around.

... I can’t believe this guy is even around.

For the most part he's ignoring you...

The reasons I'm still around is that I can get along with people and I appreciate wise advice.

Why are you still here?

Those Alcoa basses are classic, man. I wouldn’t bring one to the symphony but I love seeing them get taken care of and played.
