I need a good setup: NJ area

I'm sorry if these types of threads are frowned upon, I am pretty new to this section.


Anyway, google has failed me. I could not find a decent bass focused store to get a setup done, so I now turn to you TB. I am located in South/Central Jersey (Burlington County) and I have this shiny new SX that I would like to have setup by someone who knows what they are doing. As a side note, the last time I tried to get this bass setup, the guy just tightened the truss rod a crazy amount without loosing the strings (I assumed this was not a good idea) and sent me on my way.

I am also looking for some posible fretwork, I have a few buzzy spots that I can't seem to get rid of on my own. So if any of you NJ bassists can recommend me a good man for the job, let me know.

Thanks!

Hey, DotG -

Here's my response to a similar post a few weeks back:

His phone # is (732) 286-2333.

Good luck to you, man!

That quote could have been my line! Paul is a wiz and I recommend him here often.
