sbrag Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Can anyone recommend a good amp repairer in bristol. I understand jessie james is the man but apparently he has not been well. The 2 nearest me are either heron music or amp loft. But am aware of steve at pmt, treblerock, and electrofix. Has anyone had any experience with any of these or could recpmmend anyone else.

doomed Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I've used Steve Carman who works out of PMT, good guy, very honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 PM Mr Foxen: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/1121-mr-foxen/"]http://basschat.co.uk/user/1121-mr-foxen/[/url] He knows his onions when it comes to amps, and he sorted my AC30 out when it started playing silly buggers.

nick Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I'd recommend Justin (aka 'Subthumper' on BC) at Heron Music. Certainly knows what he's doing when it concerning amp repairs. Edited March 18, 2013 by nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 If its not old and valve, I'm pretty much gonna pass it on to Justin Subthumper anyway. Unless I can get away with soldering a bust solder joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbrag Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Might just be a bust solder joint but it is old but not valve. Its peavey musician head from 70s which cuts out after being played for a few minutes. I'm hoping it just needs a clean and a dab of solder. Heron isn't too far from me may try to drop it in to Justin. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'd guess it wants a recap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbrag Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 How big a job is a recap? The head was a cheapish ebay purchase a while back but I love the sound despite the head weighing a ton and being as big as a 2x10. I'm in 2 minds whether to get it fixed or flog it for spares/repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Not very big in a Peavey, they are made pretty sensibly generally. Can be crazy difference it makes to volume and tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
