Bending Bridge

Forgive me if this isn't the right place for this.

So I took my bass out today for the first time in two weeks and I noticed that the bridge has bent a substantial amount. I've been told it's do to changes in humidity, which, according to my teacher are quite bad in Maine. So I'm currently looking for a luthier in the Maine, New Hampshire or Mass. area to fix the problem. I also need to get a adjustable bridge added as well as a pickup. Recommendations?

Note: Closer to Maine the better.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I've used Mark Carlsen in Tewksbury, MA and Michael Hartery in Boston, both will take good care of you.
