Well, it all started one day. I have a very high tech guitar amplifire. It started making crazy noises, and not the normal crazy noises I usually make. My band had a big show just around the corner and so I started calling around for repair guys to check out under the hood and hopefully have it ready by the show. We got online, and started contacting everyone in Denver. We clearly expressed to everyone we contacted the make and model and high tech nature of the amplifire.
We got a guy that seemed cool and said he could do it and he had worked on that kind of amp before. He also said he could have it done by the show date, which was important because that is how I sound like me, but now seems pretty inconsiquential.
This is a beautiful amplifire. Every screw is chrome and has an accompanying beauty ring around it. That amp was made to look and sound georgous. Attention to detail paid for every knob.
So, obvisously the amp was not done in time. I played the show with borrowed equipment and somebody else's sound, but really, no big deal. At this point, I just want my sounds and my amp back, working correctly.
I got my amp back. It doesn't work. I think the guy got mad at me or something because all those beautiful chrome screws I mentioned, not counting the few that are now missing were all stripped out. My girlfriend watched him use a high powered drill to put the screws back in, as if he were building a deck, not working on my beautiful machine. I will be packaging up my amp and sending it back to the factory (at great expense) not only to have them fix the initial problem, but to also, I'm afraid, fix the internal mess this guy has left behind.
I would most highly recommend you not taking your amp to this klutz. He truely does not know what he is doing.
