Good shops or teachers in Central Florida?

Hello,
I'm looking to take up URB. I need a bass and a teacher. I already play electric bass and other instruments too, I have a good hand in theory and compsition. I am looking to play mostly jazz and world stuff. I've searched the archives buy I can't find any shop or teacher recommendations in Central Florida, or anywhere in florida for that matter. I can make trips to Atlanta if I have to (for shopping only, obviously).
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Ben Joella is in Boca Raton. http://www.joellabasses.com/ I'm not sure if he sells basses or teaches but he might be able to point you in the right direction. He was around Michigan State while I was at school there. He's a great player and does good work on instruments.

Central Florida blows for upright bass. If someone wants to invest in it, I will start and run an upright store here. I figure I can get shop space and an inventory going for a couple million, and I think I can make your money back in about 30 years

I promise to drive in from Lakeland twice a year to buy a set of strings, or something. That oughta help.

I'll shop in your store and take up your time, then order over the web from someone cheaper. Will that help?

Central FL is not all bad. There is a great luthier here; I'll PM the details to antinym. I know a few good players who may teach as well.

antinym: PM sent.

Sure, Sol Cornell. He's in the Longwood / Altamonte area. I've used him several times. I've had nothing but great experience with him.
