sshorepunk Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Heard some sad news last night, a well known guitar tech from Manchester has passed away Some of you Manchester people will know Adie well, he's been around a while, from A1 to sound control, then into Music Ground with Napper! I think he had been at Jonny Roadhouse recently? Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Very sad news indeed - really nice guy and did a fantastic set-up on a Fender Precision Special for me a while ago. He'll be sadly missed - a bit of a legend in these parts and an impressive client list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB1 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 MB1. A sad loss,a great guy,i've known Adie for many years as a friend and guitar tech since the days of A1 Music in fact. Hes probably been responsible for the set up of most of the basses ive had! A True Craftsman, You will be missed sir! Rest in Peace. Martin.

4000 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 That is indeed sad news. Never knew him well but he's certainly set up at least a couple of my basses over the years. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sausage Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I thought he had died a while ago although i was just speaking about him last week with Steve Robinson, another great manchester guitar tech. BAck in the day when Tony WIlson looked after my band, on the first gig of ours he came to we smashed most of equipment up, cos we were dead cool obviously. I split the headstock of my bass. Adie fixed it and it looked like it had never been broken. Definite sad news. Everytime i took a bass to him to fix he'd bollock me for the state it was in.

Ruiner Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) He did quite a few set-ups for me back in the A1 days. Always seemed like a nice guy and was always extremely helpful. Sad news.

brensabre79 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Must have missed this when it was posted originally, although I knew about it at the time. My dad was very good friends with Mr Edleston, they worked together at Barratts for years. He built a couple of lovely Jazz basses for my dad and helped me assemble my first Bitsa. Ever the practical joker, I remember popping in to the shop one saturday when he had araldited a 50 pence piece to the pavement just outside the shop window. He and my dad were snickering behind the counter at the passers by trying to pick it up and nearly falling over themselves in the process. Fond memories. A true gent who is missed by many!
