    If you are in Nottinghamshire or south lincs I highly recommend Dave Hunter at Classic Valve Amps. Dave has just done a sterling job on my vintage Fender Super, it has never sounded better. Dave really knows his stuff!

    Oxfordshire: I highly recommend Dave Smart of http://smartguitars.co.uk. Dave has done a number of amp repairs for me now and his service and knowledge are top notch. I live in Surrey nowadays but still take my amps up to Oxford when I need some work done.

    Any one have some experience of amp techs around Norwich/Norfolk way? Cheers
    Phil at guitar medicine man has done some good quality work for me on guitars and amps. Based a short distance from PMT in Norwich.

    That's really good to know.  Been looking for a reliable amp tech in the Norwich area ever since a bad experience with an amp guy round these parts who let me down big time.

    Another recommendation for @martinw at MJW Amps.

    I took a couple of amps over to him on Monday...very patient, very informative...also went beyond with some email follow-up that I sent him afterwards. He addressed the issues I wanted looking at and also fixed a noise issue that I had accepted as normal (which was worth the trip alone)!

    Thanks Martin! ;)

    Not sure if he's in this thread but Paul Huish in Windsor is brilliant. Sorted out my old Marshalls very nicely.

  • Just want to give a heads up about John Rigg in Kent http://jrigg.co.uk/

    Went to see him today with my Hiwatt, really nice guy, told me the amp was fine, showed me some of the readouts on teh scope. He is self taught but I suspect a very clever guy. Anyway, if you need an amplifier looking at in Kent he is your man.

    +1 on Paul Huish. He just sorted my Marshall good and proper. He's an excellent technician and great to deal with. Pride in his work.

    I am not young enough to know everything

  • Kent - Ashburn Guitar Care in Maidstone.  Specialists in vintage hand wired amps.  Great value and quick turn around; can't argue there!

    +1 for Henk Philipsen (AmpWizard.co.uk) based in Horsham (Sussex). Extremely knowable guy who diagnosed and fixed my Fender BDRI. Very friendly and always on the end of the phone line.. Superb rates as well!

    @Bluetonic73 did you have any joy? For valve stuff if always try Tipton Amps ( I presume he's still going) or MAJ Electronics. 
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    John Griffin at g-tek in Chiswick (now Shepherd's Bush) London has done a lot of work for me on Burmans, Boogies and Trace Elliot stuff.  He's even made some bespoke things for me. Can't recommend him enough.

    Plus 1 for Brian Swatton in Peterborough, who serviced my Burman pro501. 

    And another plus 1 for Martin at MJW in Chapel-le-Frith, who repaired my Burman GX3 preamp.  Really wish he wasn't moving north, I have more work lined up when I'm back in the U.K. 

    (Gosh, I've jumped about quite a bit...)
