Places to rent a bass in the bay area

I'm going to be working in the bay this summer, and I'd like to not rent a case and ship my bass from New York. Does anyone know of a place that rents out good solid instruments (preferably with a pickup).


thanks

Hi, I'm i've got a spare bass close to Island Bay and Lyall bay/ Owhiro Bay, but Pukerua Bay is a half hour drive, and Mercury Bay is about 9 hours from me.

I was just chiling in the Bay Area with my drummer this winter break. I heard of this guy named Igor who supposedly is amazing at working on basses and may be able to hook you up. PM me and i'll get you his number.

Steve Swan helped me out last time too. That worked great, but no pickup
