Acoustic Upright Bass service/sales shop in town?

Submitted by 4bin t3_10lwldt in pittsburgh

I am looking to either have my 3/4 Euro Laminate upright bass serviced (needs new strings and bridge, end pin fixed, small crack on body repaired) or sell it locally. Is there a shop in town that could assist me? I am not finding much by googling so I figured I’d ask here. Thanks!

not in the city but volkweins in moon/robinson and the brighton music shop in new brighton could easily and affordably take care of any instrument needs if you dont mind 20-40 mins of driving

just a warning volkweins is corporate and it might take a bit to get your repairs done, BMS is family owned and fast. adam at the desk practically baby sat me all through middle school with how much id hang there, if you end up at BMS and adams at the desk tell him Eli M with the glasses sent you and you might get a discount

There’s a guy named Bruce Wallace in Carnegie who may be able to help. He sells basses & seemingly does luthier work as well. Also, Mike Shank in Elizabethtown PA comes highly recommended by several bassists on the scene. Best of luck, fellow thumper!
