setup in NYC / Brooklyn?

Sign in to disble this ad
Can anyone recommend someone who can do a decent setup on an old Fender Precision in the Manhattan / Brooklyn area? (I'm on vacation and have no tools with me, and I just 'accidentally' bought an old Precision, which sounds amazing but needs a bit of a setup.)

i know, no pics, no bass... so crappy phone cam pic below..

Beautiful bass. And I wonder if the Sadowsky shop does setups? Might be worth checking out. Just make sure you don't accidentally end up with another bass.

In Manhattan you can try Guitar Man (Mas Hino) or Evan Gluck. Roger and crew don't do other people's basses.

thanks for the suggestions, will give the guys in Greenpoint a call first thing tomorrow. I have a Sadowsky back home so I already know the dangers lurking at Sadowsky HQ Unfortunately I just cleared out my funds by buying the bass above so there's no chance of me buying another bass there. I may have to pop down there to pick up some strings though. I seem to recall that they no longer do repairs and setups there but I'll give them a call too.

Evan Gluck on the Upper West side. May be a longer trip but you may find that he can turn it around quickly. Great work and a nice guy to boot...

It sounds like Mark (already responded) may be a nice, local solution for you, though...
