I've dealt with a great guy in Amsterdam that sells and services upright basses. He is in De Jordaan neighborhood. Lucas Suringar is his name. Go to this link:

Then scroll down to NETHERLANDS. You can get his phone number/email information there. Tell him "hello" for me.

I don’t know where you live, but check out http://www.knooren.com/ He’s a great luthier in Schimmert (Limburg), and that is where I got my bass. and I actually bought a new bow from him this week. If you live a little further south it might be a lot closer. address and phone number are on the website.

Good Luck.
