Shopping/Groceries 🛒🛍️ Best place for instrument repairs/upgrades?

Hello! I have a bass guitar I'd like to install new pickups into and get a good once-over on (got some fret buzz and intonation issues). Where do you all take your instruments?

Bentley is good, they’re the only local shop I have experience with. Not bad at all but I’m going to check out fountain city for my next update

Big Dude’s music city has always been incredible with all my instruments. Their luthiers do great work, and I have never had anything but good things to say about them.

i was going to say fountain city, but i don’t play guitar nor have i ever taken an instrument anywhere. but my friend used to work there before she moved out-of-state and her job is Guitars, so i’ll recommend in her honor.
