Hi i have a pretty awful plywood bass that i would love to make more playable. I live just north of boston and was wondering where i could take my bass to be "set up" to be played better and about how much that would cost. Thanks

Sorry for my carelessness.  I have enjoyed your informative posts on Talkbass and know you are a great resource for the OP. There is a Calvin Marks in our TB family and know that's not you.

Outstanding, reasonably priced work. Very quick and professional. He's going to cut me a new bridge this spring. If Jeff B. from UNT thinks his work is fine, it's good enough for me!
