I'm moving there in a few weeks and will need some work done on arrival. Recommendations are always a good place to start. My apologies if this is the wrong forum for this request.

I need an old and deeply embedded nut replaced and a setup done - I suppose an electric-bass-specific skillset might not be required.

His office is at McKenzie River Music. BTW, the owner, Bob November, is an avid guitar collector! One of the best-known in the country!
Tell Charlie I said hello!

Greg Backstrom | Somehow I missed this recommendation until now. Thanks a lot for that - I'll definitely check him out and pass along the greetings!
