Anyone had any recent experience with DB setups at All Strings Attached in Golden Valley, MN? Who is the luthier they now have there?

Based on their website I would guess that they know what the're doing. They claim to have worked on instruments played by Yo-Yo Ma and Gil Shaham. That's pretty impressive to me, although they don't appear to be bass specialists. Ask them for a reference if in doubt.

Vladimir (owner) at All Strings Attached is a very good bass player and the basses they have for sale there have a good setup, so I think they would do a good job on your bass. I've never had any work done there though, so I don't speak from experience.

I highly recommend Scott Jensen at Quinn violins. He's done tons of work for me and I've been happy with every bit of it (including a big restoration project). Another guy with a very good reputation is Mike Smith (John Michael Smith). Both Mike and Scott are "bass guys"; bass players who happen to be professional luthiers.
