So who can suggest someone good, preferably on the north side of town. It's a JCM 800 combo that's got a intermitant but always reliable problem...
Any suggestions would be goo.
Thanks

I can't get a hold of this Ian guy mentioned up above.

Does anyone know anywhere at the moment?

Seems amazing how few places there are in Melbourne.


zeroman  said about 9 months ago:

So anyone know of a good amp repair person at the moment?
My amp has been working fine but recently stopped working at a
gig then was working again when I got it home.

simon tregear


feathers  said about 5 months ago:

Not really repairs as such, but I'm replacing tubes in my amp and am in need of a bias probe. I can't find anyone in Melb who stocks these - Jaycar, music shops... got nuffin.

Any tips?

Anyone know of someone who can fix a Fender DeVille? Southside prefeable.
Where's Simon Tregear?
