Can anyone recommend a reputable place or person to get repairs and setups done, located near or in the Fort Meade MD area? Kinda new to the area and don't want to get ripped off or have basses destroyed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well, it's fairly close to the Fort Meade area, if quality is your guide. I strongly recommend John Thurston. His address is 1701 Edmondson Ave., Suite 203, Catonsville, MD 21228, and his phone number is (410) 747-0239. Do not go by without calling first-he's fairly busy most of the time, and that's because he's good.

He is superb at all bass and guitar work. He and a partner actually made basses of high quality some years ago, but his repair, set-up and modification work now is totally top drawer. I had no qualms at all taking my Sadowsky to him.

Even better than his great talent is that he's a nice guy. Strongest recommendation.
