Best bass repair in NYC

[dthomp1231]

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you could tell me the best place in NYC to go to for bass guitar repairs. I have a p-bass and the pick ups are messed up so I need a savvy electronics technician if possible. Any recommendations would be great.
Thanks

I can't say enough good things about my uncle, Gil Rosado, at Mandolin Brothers in SI, NY. Probably one of the best, if not the best repairmen in the business. He's worked on Jerry Jermont's bass, as well as guys like Sal Cuevas, John Benitez, and Ruben Rodriguez. Here's a phone number for the shop if you're interested: 1-718-981-3399

I have had good luck with:
Rudy's on 7th avenue
Carmine Street Guitars


*Sadowsky did some nice wrk for me way back when he still did that sort of thing!

Do you mean NYC as in Manhattan, a.k.a."the city" or NYC as in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Bronx...?

If it's Brooklyn, Main Drag Music 330 Wythe Av 718.388.6365 is where I go in Williamsburg. See John or Mark.

when I say NYC I mean Manhattan. I had Rudy's as my first pick because I've heard only good things about them. I cant say i would travel to Staten Island to get this stuff fixed. Thanks for the recommendations guys

Yeah, Rudy's is cool. I'm sure they have experienced mechanics that can help you. I've also been to 30th St Guitars
236 W 30th St New York, NY 10001-4904
(212) 868-2660 They're good too.
I've been going to Main Drag not only because they're good, but they're in my neighborhood.
Good Luck!

I've had some good work done at 30th street guitars on bass amplifiers.
Surly technician though.

Thanks for all the recommendations guys! I actually brought it down to Rudy's, guys were able to fix it in no time. It just had a few cold solder spots on the upper pickup. All is well now and the pricing for this fix was close to nothing

+1 Gil Rosado.

For advanced bass work, i.e. vintage restoration, bridge reproduction, custom work of all kinds...

Scott MacDonald of Huntington, LI. Hands down.

Best setup in Manhattan, unless of course you can get in touch with this guy, Mas Hino, he's hands down the best in Manhattan.
