UK: Amp Tech Recommendations

[fastboy]

Just like the thread in Electrics for our guitar tech recomendations, I thought I'd kick off a 2nd thread for Amp tech recommendations in the UK so we have a knowledge base:

Please post your recommendations in the thread and I will update the first post once a day (or more less dependant on how busy the thread gets). I'll kick off:

Henk Phillipsen - Horsham, West Sussex
Works out of www.horshammusic.co.uk
07746 245452

Carries out repairs, services and modifications. Top bloke, cheap rates and great for a chat about the 70 odd amplifiers he owns including some very rare, old amps

Also repairs guitars and ukelele's

Great prices. I have also heard these guys would make a completely new circuit if an original circuit was knackered..

John Chambers - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
http://www.chambonino.com/

Used him twice, very good, not expensive but always has a lot of work on so may be difficult if you need a very fast fix, he is very accomodating though so call anyway.

Dundee/East Scotland

Bluebell Audio - Dundee / East Scotland
http://www.bluebellaudio.com/

His work is good, fault diagnosis, repair etc. Particularly with valve amps, although has also repaired a couple of pedals for me too. Reasonably priced too. Also has a good stock of valves/spares/components. Will source unusual/obsolete parts for vintage gear if he's repairing. Tends to be busy, so don't expect repairs done while you wait!

Rainbow Music - Dundee / East Scotland
http://www.rainbowmusiconline.co.uk

Have used them a couple of times for repairs, shop based, his work is reliable. Reasonably priced as far as shop techs go.

EDIT - Mods, can we make this and the guitar tech recommendations "sticky"?
