New site? Maybe some day.
|
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? |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
hmmm
I may check them out |

http://www.nollguitars.com/amp_guy.php
not sure if i can make that a link, in text mode.
this is the only guy ive ever gone to for amp repairs/work. he worked on a head of mine though, not a cab. but hes really knowledgeable and very reasonable about his rates/prices. not sure if your anywhere near RI though. |
|
Bob from Noll. gets anything done in about 5 hours. He's the best.
Would love to rep B sharp on Broadway in Providence, but they're backed up about a month on stuff so you'd have to pay a rush charge. |
|
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 |
|
Noll moved to Cranston. Used to be over in the Mills in Warwick, though. |
|
mr. music in allston fixes amps. booley got his head fixed there |
|
If I were you I wouldn't assume that amp technicians would also recone speakers without checking first. |
|
I have stan from Cropduster fix all my amps. i think he's just down the hall from you guys. |
|
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. |
|
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... |
|
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. |
|
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 |
|
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. |
|
Erics cab doesnt have black shadows...
I'm finally bringing this cab to NE Speakers today... |
|
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. |
