Setups for Extended Range Basses in Chicago

[jollygiantchris]

I wasn't sure which forum to post this in.

Anyways I live in Chicago and I've been going to this place to get my stuff repaired/setup for years and they've done a good job with everything but setting up my 6 string. The action is just too damn high at the 12th fret and makes upper register chords extremely difficult. I even specifically asked the guy last time to do something to lower it. Since at this point I rarely if ever play the 4 string anymore this is starting to really annoy me.

Anyone have a recommendation on a guy or a shop that either specializes or actually does these on a regular enough basis to know what they are doing?

I somewhat get the feeling I should just pm Jauqo XIII for some reason

But in all seriousness where do you get your basses setup or do you do it yourself?

I've been using Guitar Works in Evanston for over 15 years. They've built, modified and done set ups for me. I tried a couple of other places but they were hacks compared to GW.

I do all of my setups myself.
