Hi all,
Strange post but I thought I might be able to help a few of you out and possibly help my family as well.
My uncle is a long-time electrician who got into a hobby of building and doing custom mods for guitar amps a few years ago. He's got a good ear for tone and obviously knows his way around a circuitboard. Recently the mine he worked at announced it is shutting down and he's going to be out of work after that.
He's starting into a bit of paid custom-shop work for tube amps and I thought I'd tell him about our community to see if he might be interested in offering his expertise to people on the board for taper-related custom work, since there seems to be a shortage of people doing it these days.
What I was wondering is if you could give me an idea of the type of work that people be wanting done. I don't want to step on other people's turf here (for example, I know there are already a few guys who do custom cables), but given the recent troubles with certain Freelancers, and Oade's apparent backlog of work, are there other things needed?
Some things that came to my mind were:
- Making active mics
- Modding preamps
- custom batt boxes
anything else come to mind? Any thoughts?
