Hey Janek-
I know you go to the guys at Fodera now, but before that, did you use anyone you would recommend for set ups and repair?
Thanks much.

I haven't been to anyone else in NYC except Fodera.

But i know that 30th street guitars on 30th btwn 7th and 8th is very good. There also a cat up in Boston that a lot of guitar players and bass players send their stuff to.... I'm spacing on his name right now, but he does all Pat Metheny's stuff.

Easy,

Janek

I once took my bass to Jimmy Coppolo when I was in town and he did a great job. I only had some minor stuff done, but it nevertheless felt great. www.guitarboutique.com

I tried most people around the city, I have settled for Matt at 30th st. Most highly recommended....

Are you talking about Wolf (has a workshop under the BPC)? Or Boof (Jim Mooradian's son), who does repairs in Porter Square, upstairs from Cambridge Music? Both are very good. Wolf has to be my favorite in the Boston area.

I use Frankie Beatrice (Frankie B) in Jersey City. He works on all of my vintage Fenders. His work is excellent. His firm is called FirstFret.

I'm thinking Peter Stokes @ Broken Neck on Boylston.
