They have excellent backline for guitar and bass. I am not sure if the drums belong to the studio or the drummer. When I have interacted with the staff, they have been friendly and helpful. Parking is ample. Make sure someone knows to let you in after hours, as the doors lock from the outside. I've never been the one to rent the space myself but I believe the rates are reasonable. I will keep them in mind for my own uses.

I think the store is great and they had really great vintage guitars, amps, and other. It kind of…read moresucks though. I took an amp in and gave them time to work on it since I didn't need it. Picked it up and didn't have time to test it since I had to get to work. Got home and plugged it in and it was dead. I gave them a call and ended up with someone on the line. He was like "did you plug it in to the wall"(come on) "did you turn it on"(duh) "is the red light on in the front?(hmmm). I was a little frustrated by this. I told him I do understand the basic operation of my vintage amp and was like "I was told you guys were like the best Fender Amp Repair guys around here." He started yelling and screaming and I tried to say something but he just kept yelling and called me an asshole and hung up. I realized that he was the owner, I mean THE OWNER, damn. In the end they must of yanked the cord out of the socket since that was the power issue so I had to replace the "original part" - then once I powered it up one of the new tubes pretty much almost exploded it powered up so fast and blew it self. They were supposed to replace two power tubes and bias them but what they did was switch the tubes around so that one of the old tubes was with the new tube and the other new tube was with the old tube completely unbiased(Fender Twin) So now I had to get a new matched set of power tubes due to the damage. Finally they also wired up and did not remount the reverb tank correctly(how do you do that). I lost a lot of money considering I paid them maybe around 350$+ for the work and then had to get new tubes and pretty much fixing it myself. I wish this would of worked out better cause I really liked the place and would of definately(sp) bought equipment from them. Now I really have no where to go, Except Daves and they're work was great once and bad the next time. So hard to find a descent tech, I guess people sometimes get in a hurry on a Friday to go get some beer or they give it to a less experienced tech and no one watches over their work. Or they just don't have a clue. I like to pay people to do a good job so it supports the music community. Also I like to play music rather than sit around soldering parts. Oh well.
