Double Bass Double Bass set up in Melbourne Australia

[superbassguy]

Dear All,
Got my bass few years ago, now want to have a proper set up done. May include fitting a new bridge, plane the fingerboard as buzzing, or may be a new endpin. Friends suggest Nick - Bow for Strings in Glen Waverley, other suggest Ben Puglisi in Hawthorn. Want to seek advise, is anyone try them before? Drove passed Ben's shop a few times, looks impressive.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.

I know it's about 10 hours away but I have seen work from Matthew tucker in Sydney 1st hand. Everything he does is to perfection. I highly recommend you meet up with him. I do luthier work myself in the states and can tell you from experience he is worth the drive.

Ben is your guy. If he's good enough for Christian McBride....

Thanks guys, but anyone out there tried Bows for Strings services?

+1 for Ben Puglisi on reputation alone; I couldn't comment on B4S, but why bother looking elsewhere if you have a number of strong recommendations?
