I think it depends on the experience you get there. different people do get different treatment sometimes because of the vibes they give off. I'm the kind who believes in fate haha.
I agree with Relinquish. I tend to do setups myself. Pickup swaps, I will try and do it myself now. However, I used to go to Beez. Nice guy and great service. The best part is, he is willing to share his knowledge as long as you are interested in learning.
Hi mind me to try stating what i can do here? Well i recently have build my interest in Tube amp and finally did my own tube biasing for EL34.... i would like to give it a try to provide services for individuals who want their tube amp biased according to their factory settings/recommended settings.. ie "Slightly cold" for more headroom and cleaner operation or "Hotter" for warmer but slightly noisy in operation.... i can try doing at my own confident for marshall with EL34 or 6L6 output tubes...
i can also do Potentiometer change for amps,PU Change for guitars as well.
As a hobbyist myself i do take 100% care for your lovely amps no scratches/dents and bumps would be involved. Let me know please
