who is the best Fender bass setup guy in NY?

30th St Music? Rudys? Umanov? Main Drag in Williamsburg? Someone else? Any suggestions appreciated.

Gil Rosado, head tech @ Mandolin Brothers.

SI, New York. You can PM me for his info.
I'm his nephew but not affiliated with the shop
in any other way.

Oh, I've been there. Didn't know they had a serious interest in bass guitar set-ups. I will check that out.

Yes, sir - he's also quite the player. As far as I'm concerned they're the best, the only other who could hold a candle is an (I believe) Asian fellow in the City named Mas (Not sure how to spell his name) he used to build Rudy's Pensa basses but doesn't anymore - if you can track him down they're both on the same level. Imo, Ime, ect..

yeah, I had some great work done at Rudy's on my Sterling fretless 4, not sure if it was Mas or someone else.

I'd like someone who know vintage Fenders for this, though.
