I was asked by a friend to recommend but I suspect my own references may be somewhat out of date.
I'm sure you guys know who's who so any help would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance.

In Sacramento, Jeff Sahs would be the man to see.

Jeff Sahs is quite good, reasonable & quick. I'll need to have a top split addressed soon myself.

Sacramento's Jeff Sahs and I have a great 4 year relationship. If you can get scheduled in to his busy workload, he'll give you fine setup that will make it easy for you to take your bass to the limit of its abilities.
My other favorite is Matt Bohn, "the Bass Doctor", in Felton (near Santa Cruz) who has been doing work for me for over a year. He also does fine setup work tailored to your specific needs. He can be reached at (831) 335-1281. His shop is located in his home at 202 Lazy Woods Road, Felton, CA 95018
Good luck! |

Michael is a great builder and repair person but you are on the Double bass side of Talkbass. Michael is a guitar and electric bass person.
