If I didn't live so close to Nick Lloyd in Cincinnati I'd drive all the way to Brewster and back with my bass to have him work on it.

No higher praise could be given.

Robbie McIntosh is excellent. Located in Cambridge, NY. mcinbass@aol.com Or, you could look up the phone #. I'll post it later, when I dig it out.

Bill Merchant is also quite good, and not too far from you.

+1 to Robbie McIntosh - I make the drive from Boston for the more involved work.

Anyone play one of his basses yet? He was just finishing one the last time I was there.
