Webby308 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Can anyone offer advice on a good tech who could take on a Wal that drains it's battery? It used not to, so something has changed and when I look in the cavity at the back, all looks well - no lose connectors/wires/solder joints. I know it's just physics (and likely a dodgy jack) but I can't see anything and don't trust my limited skills to fix this. Somewhere in Surrey/Hampshire/Berkshire is fine as I don't think posting it will improve the problem! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSeagull Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 If you could stretch to Brighton I'd thoroughly recommend Badlands Guitars but appreciate a bit out of your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) You're just down the road from me and @cetera. Julien Mullen in Reading was always my go to guy for anything I couldn't sort out myself. His website hasn't been updated in yonks, you could try the mobile #. http://www.julianmullenguitars.co.uk/Contact.htm Edited March 1 by NancyJohnson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Call Paul Herman in Leatherhead. He makes them. If you can't get to him directly, go through Charlie Chandler in Hampton Wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno1981 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 👋 Julien is a top bloke and very skilled in troubleshooting & all aspects of luthery (might have made up that word). He used to do the setup and tech work for bass gear in twyford and guitar works in Reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 @Webby308 Hello from another Camberley resident here 🙂 As already said, Julian is very good and he's done all my basses in the past. If ever London way then The Gallery is also very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby308 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 I did take it back to Wal in the end. Amazing service and a pleasure to visit them. I would have loved to have spent more time surrounded by amazing woods and bits of guitar too. If in doubt take a Wal back to where it was born! Thanks for the other options anyway!
