Double Bass Major repair work in Atlanta

[PatrickC]

My bass needs some extensive top-off repair work -- sound post crack, rib damage, neck reset, etc.

I recently moved back to Atlanta after over a decade away and I always took my bass to Ron Sachs' shop, who did some very nice work for me. But in this case, he would have to send my bass to his guy in Florida and it would take over a month to finish.

So I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions of a local luthier you'd trust to do high quality work on a 100+ year old carved bass that needs some TLC. Is Ron still the best option in town?

If you don't find someone you like in town, I'm about three hours north. 'Perfect excuse come goof off up in the mountains in Asheville....

I would call Emory Clements at (678) 677-1530

He works on a lot of pro bass players instruments here in Atlanta and has a great reputation.

In Atlanta, it's Emory Clements. He's the only person I would take my bass to in ATL, and I'm a luthier.
