Amp / Speaker repair....WHERE?[views:1518][posts:18]_______________________________________ [Sep 3,2009 1:51pm - AndrewBastard ""] I know about Aztech and I may bring my shit there, but basically I have 1 or 2 speakers in my cab that are not functioning (I think blown voice coils) but they are speakers that are no longer made as far as I know (M/B Black Shadows) and I really don't want to put different speakers in... anywhere that can repair speakers? |
| ____________________________________________ [Sep 3,2009 1:53pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Look into Becker Guitars in Stoughton; I haven't gone to them for anything in a while so I don't know if they're even still in business. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 4,2009 1:03am - Snowden ""] I think I remember going to New England Speaker Repair (http://newenglandspk.com/ ) years ago to get some stuff re-coned. If it's the place I'm thinking of, they were nice and not too expensive. |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 4,2009 10:52am - AndrewBastard ""] hmmm I may check them out |

| ________________________________________ [Sep 4,2009 11:30am - AndrewBastard ""] I know of botrh Noll and B Sharp...I used to live in Providence (I think Noll is in Warwick?)...but yeah, I'd rather stay closer to Boston |
| __________________________________ [Sep 4,2009 11:33am - brian_dc ""] Noll moved to Cranston. Used to be over in the Mills in Warwick, though. |

| _________________________________ [Sep 4,2009 11:41am - Snowden ""] If I were you I wouldn't assume that amp technicians would also recone speakers without checking first. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 4,2009 12:33pm - MadOakDevin ""] I have stan from Cropduster fix all my amps. i think he's just down the hall from you guys. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 4,2009 12:35pm - MadOakDevin ""] i didn't read this article at all until now. it's cheaper to just replace the speakers in most cases. two speakers will run you a couple hundred dollars. repairing a blown speaker will cost you a couple of hundred dollars. the only thing speaker technicians don't cost an arm and a leg for are speaker rewinds. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 4,2009 1:18pm - AndrewBastard ""] Yeah, I know Stan... A lot of people have told me to just replace them but those speakers are no longer made :( I'll look into NE Speaker and see what they say... |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 4,2009 5:52pm - MadOakDevin ""] Andrew what speakers were they? you can probably find a VERY close replacement. I went ape shit looking for the perfect speakers for my tone a few months ago, so I can give you hand in letting you know. Most speakers are just replicas of discontinued speakers from another brand. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 4,2009 5:56pm - MadOakDevin ""] ahh the black shadows. i should read sometimes. I'll see what I can find for replacements for you... or just steal eric's cab. haha |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 4,2009 6:07pm - MadOakDevin ""] So i read that Celestion made the Black Shadows for Mesa. From the sounds of it, it's pretty close to the G12-100's. It's a ten watt difference. You can probably also hit up celestion. they might be able to custom make you that same speaker. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 13,2009 3:51pm - AndrewBastard ""] Erics cab doesnt have black shadows... I'm finally bringing this cab to NE Speakers today... |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 13,2009 3:58pm - AndrewBastard ""] scratch that I have to drop the cab off between 10am and 1:30pm mon through friday...those are the ONLY times and I'm not about to take a day off work so someone can fix my cab. |
