REALLY good setups on vintage gear in NYC? (other than Norio Imai)

I know this has been asked a thousand times,

I've always brought my stuff to Norio Imai for really important basses,or more intensive jobs..
he's the best I know,but also very expensive..although worth every penny.
I've always assumed he was the best around, but my 1980 Pbass was disassembled and probably needs some adjustments,the seller said there were wood shims under the pu's,so I just want everything checked,frets looked at..someone who'll give it a really good setup.
I want to take it to someone really good.

I know some of the folks at Sadowsky will take your (non-sadowsky)bass and work on it during their off-hours.

I also know Peekamoose,but have always found their quotes to be overpriced,so I usually don't go.
Is there anyone else in (or near)NYC that's great for this stuff,besides Norio?

just got my bass back from peekamoose and, while expensive, it's far and away the best setup i've ever gotten on any instrument. this thing just plays like it's meant to, now.
