Valve amp repair in Cape Town ?

DaFiz

I auditioned a new bass guitarist last night and he came with a valve amp that started strong and then fizzled and died (how embarrassing for the young dude)

It's an old 4 valve top (100W dunno what make) with a separate cab (4 x 12")

Where can he take it to in Cape Town?

+1 for Karel, he fixed the cheap pots on my Blue Junior last week.

Also if you are in the Southern Suburbs you can contact Jeremy Busby at Plumstead Bothners. He fixes valve amps in his spare time and knows his stuff.

I also remember having work done by Graham at Bothners' Ottery repair branch.

Mmm... thanx for the advice guys. The man is adamant that a good klap will bring it back to life again.
I certainly won't plug him into my PA again... My last bass amp was the Ashdown Mag300 and what a kick-ass amp that was.
I dunno why we ought to battle with and old temperamental valve amp that duzzent even come to the party >☹
