Line 6 M13 repair

FaffFaff Frets: 29
edited August 2014 in FX
Are there any independent fixers which I presume will be cheaper to repair my M13 than official Line 6?
Prefer Gtr Manchester area or I'm willing to send.

    From what I hear of line 6 and their customer service they are very good to deal with. 

    I would ask the question first, at least you get an idea of price before you dismiss them
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Although it appears he's not taking on new work at the moment due to illness :(. It also may depend on what's wrong with the Line6 - if it's something in the digital circuitry it may not be something he would do.

    I would try Line6 - they've been pretty generous with out-of-warranty repairs in the past.

    Thanks - I'll see what line 6 say first. Yes it seems an electronic problem. On one of the channels, the settings keep wavering.
