Ring 'Electro Music' in Doncaster, i've had my amp fixed with them numerous times and never had a reason to grumble. Do not (repeat - not) go to Hartleys on London Road.

why not? other people have recommended him.

Too expensive? Bad workmanship?

I've told this story once before and got it deleted for "slander", so i shall leave the bad bits out.

I took my valve amp in for fixing and he said it needed new valves. I left a £40 deposit and at the end of the week it still wasn't fixed. He said they weren't here yet. It doesn't take a week to get some valves delivered, i have bought them myself since then and had them delivered in days.

When they go to him he said he'd fitted them and it still wasn't working so i waited another week. In the end i had a gig on a Friday night so i rang him the week before and told him if it wasn't fixed i wanted the amp and my money back, he could keep his parts. He pulled his finger out and i had to drive to him on Friday afternoon, pick it up and go straight to soundcheck.

Never had any trouble with electro-music; just the downside of driving to Doncaster to get it fixed.
