Double Bass Setup in Toronto area?

[Calvin Marks]

Hi all,

My Martin bass is wonderful but the fingerboard was carved really just for solo playing, as was the bridge. So for orchestral playing there isn't enough arch and it is too easy to hit other strings. I'm wondering if anyone knows someone who is good at reshaping a fingerboard and carving a new bridge with adjusters? I am in the Toronto area.

Thanks very much for your help.

Although no prior experience with any of them, they might be worth contacting.

@MikeCanada is in Toronto.
Last on TB in Jan.2022, though. Maybe he'll respond.
Good Luck.
