Members Guttermouth Posted July 27, 2007 Members Share Posted July 27, 2007 i came to the decision to get out of the repair business this week. it's just gotten too hard to make any money at it anymore. so i've been going through my shop finishing things up and getting them out of the way and i've had this jtm 45 build sitting around my shop for a while now and have been working on it when time permitted ( it's been sitting so long a buddy of mine did some work on it out of pity for me ) at any rate i got to fire her up tonight for the first time. she still needs some troubleshooting but i think it'll be a kick ass amp when i get her done. thought you guys might wanna see some pics : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Incubitabus Posted July 27, 2007 Members Share Posted July 27, 2007 my bosses built 2 JTM 45 clones that we have in our shop. One is a 212 combo, and the other is a head that we have running into a marshall stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wilki29 Posted July 27, 2007 Members Share Posted July 27, 2007 man...... i dunno... maybe computers??? Yea thats a good field to get into. Im in that right now, and it pays a lot. Im not a fan of computers, so once im out of college ill probably go elsewhere, but for right now im making a good chunk of change. Do you have a degree, if so what is it in?

Do you have a degree, if so what is it in? well i went to college for electronics engineering and also went to school for the recording arts. my college curriculum was heavy in computer sciences untill i switched over to electronics and i've been building and repairing pc's on and off since college.the dumbass factor is just soooo high in the computer field it's mind boggling if i do go back into computers i'm not sure that i would wanna work with the public again -if i have to tell one more middle aged woman that i had to remove her poker game because it was full of spyware i'd have an aneurysm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitargod0dmw Posted July 27, 2007 Members Share Posted July 27, 2007 You could always do electrical engineering somewhere. I'm a satellite engineer / IT guy in my spare time and it certainly pays the bills. The corporate world kinda sucks though, especially if you've been working for yourself and then come in to it!

You'll only have to do what you want to do and you'll only have to do it on your schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll only have to do what you want to do and you'll only have to do it on your schedule. you are sooo right. i've done one repair this week (reworked an active washburn ) and it's been really nice.granted i'm not making much money at present but it does feel like a weight has been lifted off me. it's something i've been debating for a while but last week was just it . i was on "vacation" and had 2 jobs come in anyway and realized i didn't make enough money to buy the tools i needed to fix them correctly ( i need a scope and a new meter baaaaad). that was just the final straw for me. i was sitting there cussing under my breath for people dropping off work for me to do when they knew i was taking the week off and then not having the tools to do the job was just too much. all that being said troubleshooting this jtm is making me ready to pull my hair out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
