PBF Music PBF Music - Guitar Setup, Repair and Mod Shop

30/08/2023

Hello, Bob here.

It is with equal measures of excitement and melancholy that I announce PBF Music is permanently closing its doors.

Any current jobs will be finished ASAP but unfortunately I won't be able to take any more on for the time being.

Joe and I would like to thank all of our customers and clients over the years.

I'm re-locating to Cardiff soon but will still be available for tech work and setups. I'll post my new business profile in the near future but if you need to contact me please message this page :)

Another setup out the door!

This lovely example of the older Fender US Deluxe series has had a deep clean, surface marks polished out, frets polished, electronics cleaned, jack upgraded to a PureTone 4-point contact socket, rusted screws replaced, full pocket neck shim, new button felts and a full setup with a set of Elixirs.

Anything loose is now solid and anything sticky is now loose.

Rock and roll 😎

Taking a small break but will be back on August the 7th.

Any current work will be finished this week. If you have been contacted on any completed work previously and have not yet paid and collected your instrument please message here and I can arrange a time for collection.

All the best
Bob

Really cool Tanglewood electro-classical which has just had the works. Quick blast through an amp to test it out as the base of the bridge saddle had previously been sanded a bit wonky.

Disclaimer: I cannot play classical to save my life so I treat them like giant ukuleles :P

Another Japanese rock monster from the 80s left the shop today with a refresh and setup, this time in C # standard.

Really cool to see these old instruments still making noise, especially when they're 99% original 🤩

An essential part of doing a setup is putting an instrument through its paces. This lovely 80s Japanese Charvel has just been tuned to drop B with a .145 on the lowest string!

Needs a bit more dialing-in but this old thing packs a PUNCH 😈

Another job done. This Vintage acoustic was brought in pieces. Now, this isn't a repair I would take on normally but breaks were fairly clean and the customer wanted it put together again, even if just for sentimental value.

Dowels, clamps and a bit of love later and she's got a new lease of life!

Another setup about to head out. A very cool 1970s Japanese Maya P-bass tuned to Drop C with a freshly-fitted Fender Original pickup.

This is a little something I put together for myself.

I etched this enclosure a while back with the intent of populating it with two of my personal favourite circuits for blues rock and low gain overdrive:

The right side is a clone of the Analogman Prince of Tone (with the now unobtainium MA856 diodes) and the left is a clone of the Xotic BB Preamp (modded Tubescreamer with active EQ).

Two tiny power conditioners are squeezed inside to ensure as minimal hum and noise as possible and an order switcher on the bottom for added flexability.

We are able to build custom pedals on commission and repair broken ones.

While this hasn't been our focus in the past, please consider a sign of things to come....
