Members BASSDAD Posted November 30, 2007 Members Share Posted November 30, 2007 Does anyone have any suggestions of a good tech in northeastern MA southern NewHampshire area? I'm bring my son his b-day bass next week and I'm driving it out to him so I can't it looked at local(or by Kindness) before I go. Billerica, Lowell, Cambridge,Tewksbury, Nashua are close enough. Oh yeah, this is the buzzing A string bass from my other thread. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutley need a setup! That could do it too. I'll try that local before I go out East. I bought it through the mail. It's a Traben Array NT (Yeah I know. It's for my kid's 15th b-day and he digs 'em) Actually a very good looking axe if you like that kind of stuff. Big tramp stamp bridge, quilted maple, etc.All good except the A. BTW WTF is a Picofarad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members basshunter Posted November 30, 2007 Members Share Posted November 30, 2007 BTW WTF is a Picofarad? You may live to regret that question! The giant cable test thread/bitch session will answer that for you. I'll put a call into a musician friend of mine who used to live in Lowell area and see if he has any suggestions.

It buzzes unplugged. Couldn't plug it in last night(neighbors). I just had a chance to plugit in I can't hear the buzz through the amp:) ....but it shouldn't be there at all:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members #6 Posted November 30, 2007 Members Share Posted November 30, 2007 the very best tech in the boston area is in cambridge, Jim Mouradian in Porter Square...absolutely amazing guy and massively skilled tech...a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LanEvo Posted November 30, 2007 Members Share Posted November 30, 2007 If it just needs a basic set-up, any tech should be able to do it. If there's a local music store near you (even a Guitar Center or something), I'd be willing to bet they'd have someone on hand who can help you out.

Members BASSDAD Posted November 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 30, 2007 yes.Jim is now booking January. Thanks and Damn!I'll start with the set-up at a local shop. If it still needs work. Maybe I can look him and prepay while I'm out there to get a professional overhaul on it. The boys mom can drive him when Jim is ready. Cambridge is very close for them. Was Porter Square the name of his store /bussiness in the post? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frunobulax Posted November 30, 2007 Members Share Posted November 30, 2007 his shop is on the third floor over Cambridge Music in Porter Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BASSDAD Posted December 2, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 2, 2007 Thanks for the info. I'll keep him in mind for later use. I decided to take it to a local store. The guy said he had worked on Alembec neck thrus when I called. When I walked in I got a nice suprise. Real luthiers! Tools lathes and all kind of {censored} in a windowed room. The old dude claims to be an ex-Gibson authorized repairman with some loose connection still. He's got an apprentice guy that went to some fretted instrument school in Michigan. They start production of their stuff in January. I think they can handle the Traben. Thanks again for everyone's input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
