not sure if he's in the west 'burbs but contact Mike Arnopol, he's Patricia Barber's bassist and is a frequenter of the TB DB side of things, but also plays a mean BG. If he isn't in that neck of the woods he'd be a good resource for recommendations. Another good person to contact would be Eric Hochberg, another great Chicago doubler. Then there Jaquo III-X (sp?). Lots of great players and teachers there. Good luck
