Thank you Rick!

The guys at Noll are terrific, but I also recommend Nick at Empire on north main. Great guy who does excellent work. You may be able to get in touch with him on Facebook if you search Holcomb guitars, but you may just want to stop by empire--they are having their monthly sale and there's some great stuff to check out!

Empire is a lot closer to my home, I'll definitely look into going there, maybe I'll try for this weekend perhaps! I'd love to take home the 1966 Gibson EB-2 they have for sale, but I don't have the spare $2100! Thanks knigel

Basically, no sound, even with all the knobs on 10. I took it to a local tech and he tested the pots and they were working. There's also a forest of wires under the control plate and I don't know where they're all connected to. Does anyone know what the issue could be? Any help would be GREAT! I miss my old bass and would love to use it with my new band. Thanks everyone!

not to be "that guy" but I use Mike Poulin at Guitar Center in warwick, and he's one of the better more affordable options, i like stan and the others at noll, but small issues seem to be more expensive than what i think they should be

I appreciate your help! Having an affordable option would be great for me sense I don't make a whole lot with my part-time job. If I have free this weekend I'll see if I can go down there and talk to Mike about this. Thanks Justin!

I actually took my beloved yamaha attitude ltd 2 to gc for a problem on my volume knob which is a push/push knob and it wouldn't stay down. He opened it up and fixed it! Just a shim, but didnt even charge me for it! It was only a minor issue, but still, that was cool if him. Works great now.

I have a show coming up there next month.

Vinny, very easy load in, open the side door and you're 3 feet away from the stage no steps in, just right through the door and the stage is about 1 foot high. Big bouncy room however so be prepared for that and not a lot of outlets.

...who's where this weekend? The Northeast Groove will be at the Wood River Inn on Saturday from 9-1...and you?

That would be awesome, and when you do make sure you say hello. Cityside is a great club hopefully the storm won't impact your gig.

Thanks for the info!
I would be more surprised if you said they had plenty of AC power
