DB setup at All Strings Attached in MN?

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.
