Does anyone know what's happening with AccuGroove? All the phone numbers I have for them are either disconnected or fax lines. No response via email either. Are they still in business? Any info would be appreciated.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2010 Location: NJ | | | A shop near me has had the same experience. He's an AccuGroove dealer and I inquired about some cabs. He held their cabs in high esteem, but he was apprehensive about recommending one since he tried calling them a day earlier and their phone was disconnected.
This was about a week and a half ago. |

| | | | Didn't work for me. Am still awaiting the Tri112L ordered in July. Phone numbers disconnected. No E-Mail replies and no response from the FB Links. Believe I'm headed for dissapointment and a major hassle getting my $$$ back. |

| | | | I have not heard from Mark since the end of September.
I'm waiting on a MiniGroove Stack that had some parts back ordered. Mark was great communicating with me in Aug and Sep, but I have not heard from him since then.
Mark, where are you? Come back to us, Man. | 
11-19-2010, 08:26 AM
| | | | Sixteen weeks and counting! Irritated......YES. Believe I'll cancel the order for the Tri112L and look at other cab builders who can deliver. Thanks Mark. A simple reply to any of the voice mails or E-Mails would have avoided this frustration. |

I know when I got married recently things were pretty hectic for the few weeks around the wedding.

| | | | Is there any development here? I'm ordering through a German distributor for Accugroove and he doesn't know what's going on. |

| | | | That's worrying. I hope they're not going out of business as I really have my heart set on an El Whappo cab. Has anyone heard any other news from them/been able to contact them in any way? |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: Baltimore County, Md. | | In late August I contacted AccuGroove to inquire about buying a cover for an AccuGroove cabinet. The phone was disconnected and email to their web site went unanswered.
It took a while, but eventually Mark (TB user name Whappo Grande) did reply to a TB PM. He said they were in the middle of moving and apologized for the delay in replying.
I just tried to check the www.accugroove.com web site, and it appears to be under the control of a cybersquatter. Not a good sign.
