But there are places out there ready to give you a better experience. Read on. I bought my Ernie Ball Music Man bass more than a decade ago, and I loved the sound until about four years ago, when my jack stopped working. I took it to a pretty well-known music store in Toronto to get it fixed, but when it came back it never sounded the same. He also makes really cool pedals. We decided to upgrade the pickups, and it became my working bass.
His work was impeccable and fast, and I could tell he loves what he does. I still missed the sound of the Music Man, though. About a month ago, I was browsing Kijiji and ran into an ad for guitar and bass repairs. I immediately felt this rush and decided to grab my Music Man and my new fretless Warwick and take them to this new place. He fixed both basses and told me that when he looked inside the Music Man it looked like a squirrel had been living in there.
He was super-cool, knowledgeable and also has great taste when it comes to basses. He owns a Music Man and a Warwick just like me.

Because Korg stopped manufacturing the CX-3 and started making more durable, lightweight keyboards in its place, replacement parts are difficult to find. I met the Dr. Picture the scene in the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy and her cronies arrive in the Emerald City and are buffed and polished into dazzling visions of beauty. That was my Korg after a short stay at Mojo. Do you want to be treated like a real musician and not a walking, talking wad of cash who is pretty good for a girl?
