Double Bass Baltimore:Recommend me a luthier!

[PocketGroove82]

Hi everyone,
Just moved to Baltimore and my bass's bridge took a couple hits during the process. Everything is fine, but I need a luthier around the Baltimore/DC/Delaware area who can get my sound post and bridge setup again.
Can anyone make any suggestions or recommendations?
Many thanks!

Matt

Yes, definitely go to Mike Shank. He is a master of his craft, I've been loyal to services for the past 5 years and have never had a single complaint in even the slightest bit, and everyone I know says the same. Elizabethtown isn't much of a drive from Baltimore either.

Another + 1 for Shank, he's the man.

Well, I guess I have my answer! Thanks for the recommendation guys. You've all be a great help. I'd rather not waste my time and money with someone who isn't serious, or at some violin shop that has 2 or 3 basses laying around.

I'll check Mr. Shank's out as soon as I'm able.
