4001 Ric Fret Repair

I have a 1977 Mapleglow 4001. I've been using Rotosound Swing Bass strings for 30 years. I need connections on getting some frets replaced. This is no easy task due to the laquered fretboard. It's getting to the point of being unuseable. I'm having to fall back on my Jazz Bass and my T-Bird. Does anybody know a luthier within a 200 mile radius of East Tennessee?
