In the Bay area, who do you see for doing a nice bass setup?

Thanks!

 It actually came from that forum. I'd had an early S500 guitar (my 2nd ele=
ctric guitar, 1st was a Gibby Paul Custom), and when I switched to bass, I =
placed a notice that I wanted to trade. I had over a dozen offers within fi=
fteen minutes. This was what I felt was the pick of the litter.
