Referral for a refinish?

Posted on "basses" and no luck, maybe better here. I have a bass that I would like to have refinished. My criteria are ; professional job, reasonable turnaround time and decent price. In that order. Can you guys recommend someone? I hate the Eeny meeny miny mo thing......
 
I just used a local guy here in Colorado - Dan Dachel, he refinished my 59 Pbass and did an incredible job. You'd have to pay shipping but he really knows what he's doing - people ship him Hofners and Ricks from all over the world to rebuild.

I'd stay away from anyone other than a luthier, you want someone who knows how to disassemble and assemble an instrument, pull the pickups, etc.

His phone # is 970 221-5307. I would recommend him to anyone. He does masterful work.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't want a furniture guy taking my bass apart!
I will check out everyone's recommendations and make a decision.
