asingardenof Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 For anyone down Cornwall way, I can heartily recommend Chris at Tube n Truss, based in St Dennis if you have a vintage amp. Chris did an amazing job on my old Marshall Super Bass (https://fb.watch/jJq8aOm8ei/), which I'd still be using if a Covid-induced funds deficit hadn't necessitated selling it. https://www.facebook.com/tubentruss Quote
Rodders Posted May 25, 2023 Posted May 25, 2023 Can anyone recommend a tech in Norfolk or Suffolk who deals with Class D? My Tecamp Puma has developed a fault. I'd like to get it repaired as its the most powerful amp I have. Cheers, Ronnie. Quote
Pow_22 Posted June 12, 2023 Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Any amp tech recommendations for North West/Manchester? Usually use Roland Lumby but he only takes on valve work now. Dave Lunt seems to have retired from what i gather Its a hybrid Fender Bassman that needs a new volume pot as it has sheared off. Looks like the post go straight into the board so could be a big job Edited June 12, 2023 by Pow_22 Quote
taunton-hobbit Posted June 12, 2023 Posted June 12, 2023 Not near, but 'Steve the amp man' in Devon is well used to Fenders & very good [email protected]. 😎 1 Quote
Pow_22 Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 Following my above post i can now fully recommend Mike Powell (MPAV Services) of Bolton - www.mpavservice.co.uk. Mainly a hifi type repair man but he does take on guitar amps (when i dropped my amp off he had a few Trace combos in his workshop). Completed my repair - new volume pot and 4 new output jacks - on my bassman in 2 days at a very reasonable cost and to a great standard. Definitely recommend for any fellow North West BCers 1 1 Quote
Nuno O. Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 Hi, I have a Phil Jones Bass Cub II. Unfortunately, it is producing a hiss noise as soon as I plug a cable. Any suggestions? If this a technical problem can someone give me advice of a good repair shop, preferably in north London? Thanks in advance. Nuno Quote

TheGreek Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 I had to collect my Spector from Mal Crawley in Stevenage today. Arthritis in his hands has forced him to stop repairing Amps, etc. I'd just like to send my thanks to Mal for the work he's done for me in the past. Quote

gary mac Posted August 23, 2023 Posted August 23, 2023 My GK head died mid gig at the weekend. Any recommended repairers in Herts area please? Quote
E sharp Posted November 24, 2023 Posted November 24, 2023 I've had my Sonic Farm 2idi stop working . The XLR line out , XLR DI , and 1/4" unbalanced out , are all dead . The 1/4" thru still works , and I can still use the aux and headphone mini jacks - so still use it for practicing . I'm having a real headache trying to find anyone local to me (East Anglia) , who'll touch it . I've E mailed Sonic Farm direct , but they've not replied . Anyone on here know of someone who's local to me - and trustworthy , as I've been ripped off in the past . Thanks Quote

mattjones_81 Posted October 24, 2024 Posted October 24, 2024 For anybody in need of Amp repair I would thoroughly thoroughly recommend Hurstbatch Services near Wells which is run by @basstone from this forum. My Marshall VBA 400 died in a practice session. Tony was so friendly and super knowledgeable about it all. Talked me through everything, got a deal on a new valve for me, was very very reasonable on rates and got it all up and running in less than a week. I feel much better knowing he has looked over the whole amp, checked everything, done some repairs that needed doing and has rebiased all the valves. Excellent value for money for that peace of mind. Highly highly recommended - thank you @basstone for everything! Quote

kuetsum Posted November 26, 2024 Posted November 26, 2024 Any great tech near Milton Keynes? I have a tube amp and a solid stated amp need service.. Quote
fearthebassplayer Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 In need of a bass amp tech for my Fender Rumble 500 in the Nuneaton/Coventry/Warwickshire area. Any recommendations? Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted January 6 Posted January 6 I've just heard that Dan Coggins (Lovetone pedals and some Thorpy Pedals designs) is taking on amp, pedal and synth repairs again. Oxfordshire He is incredibly knowledgeable in these fields, with the focus on vintage valve and solid- state gear, but won't touch digital or much surface mount gear. If permitted, I will add contact details, or will provide them by pm Quote
