In an attempt to save the repair shop, and to get a more focused traffic, we’ll be increasing our prices on repair services starting June 1st. New prices are

• Guitar effects: NOK 800,- / hour + MVA
• Guitars and guitar amplifiers: NOK 1200,- / hour + MVA
• Outboard: NOK 1400,- / hour + MVA
• Synthesizers: NOK 1400,- / hour + MVA

Minimum fee, any service: 400 + MVA.
Also, there will be a small fee for each invoice sendt to handle accountant costs. (NOK 20,- + MVA). Heavy objects such as speakers and transformers will ad a postage fee on import when not stocked (Usually between NOK 170 and 400,- + MVA).

Vendors and service partners will receive their usual discounts. Orders already in will be processed with the old prices. Cheers.

We served more than 500 amps and instruments in 2023 – We aim to surpass that in 2024. However – this first week is going to be slow, as we’re counting stock and wait for new parts.

Remember to call in advance to see if we’re in and wheter we will accept your item. Also, our parking space is buried in snow.

For those nervous of the New Years fire in the neighbourhood, our shop is untouched. For those who wonder if their item has been fixed during the holidays – The answer lies in “holidays”.

We’re in the last week of taking orders for 2023, as we want this space empty, bright and clean for 2024. Please note the following dealines:

DEC 8th: Last chance to hand in any item for repair in 2023

DEC 18th: Last chance to pick up anything before the holidays

JAN 3rd: First regular business day in 2024 for the repair shop

Visits or pickups during the holidays will not be possible.

For studio services, contact NAG Records or Zensor ANS.

Flu ridden mind calls for a somewhat random access to – and slow tempo at – the bench, while we’re receiving truck loads of gear to be asessed and fixed before the holidays. We’re likely to close for orders week 2 of December so we can get this place clean for New Years. Stay healthy and warm – and wash yer hands.

For those who get the 404 at the end, here’s the accompanying lullaby:

For handing in repairs, the last chance will be Monday 12th of June.

Last chance of pickup will be Thursday 29th of June. Items not collected prior, will be locked in for the duration of the summer holidays.

The repair shop is closed, the studio is open regular hours. See you on the other side.

Meanwhile we’re taking no new orders. Pickup by apointment only.

The studio is under maintenance and will reopen in September with a new live boot and improved acoustics.
