Goin to the UofM minneapolis. Go gophers!

Wish I had more money/time for bass, rather than school

what..are we up to #7?

I consider my "home-town" to be in *eh-hem* WI

But, I have lived here in MN since 1997 so I'm thinkin' I can partake in this club.

I'm in a west-of-Minneapolis suburb.

Fassa barfing on her bass is classic

A few times

Hey guys-

I was restringing my Schecter 5 tonight, and realized that a summer of gigging has wreaked havoc on my setup. Guess I didn't realize how much it was buzzing.

So...any recommendations in the metro for a good, QUICK setup tech? I live in Eden Prairie and work in Edina, so somewhere around there would be best. I can't leave the bass for a few days, I'm in the midst of practice mania for an audition.

I've used Brown's Guitar Factory before, but $80 for a setup is just ugly.

I'd try Leonard Shapiro at http://www.moseso.com/lsgr.html. I've only had John Brown work on my stuff, but Leonard has an excellent rep.

I'll give him a call. I like Brown's and they do good work, but I've never had them turn a setup around faster than a few days, and they are definitely spendy.

Thanks,
