Location: NJ | Has anyone here ever had any experience with THESE guys? :
Triple-S
A few weeks ago, I was asked to play at an outdoor barbecue here at the office.
It was hot & sunny, so they set up a pop-up canopy for me t'play under. A couple of times, a "leg" or two of the canopy would lift in the breeze.
I asked a couple times to have 'em sandbagged.
It never happened.
After the barbecue was over, I was just starting to tear-down when the canopy went airborne, a leg caught my mixer stand, and the the mixer took a tumble onto the grass from about 3' :mad: :mad:
I looked it over, and initially it appeared t'be fine.
However, when I powered it up that night at a gig, I found that both of the Aux. busses (that I send to my powered monitors) don't work on one channel and in varying degrees on some others.
Naturally, the channel that has no monitor is the one that I have dedicated for my vocals. I try to keep all of my/Rick's inputs within the first 6 channels, as they are the ones controlled by the "StandBy" button for when we go on break.
I queried the guy at GC that I bought the unit from, and he recommended these guys as they do all of GC's service.
Since it's a national company, I was wondering if anyone have ever had any dealings with 'em . . . |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Up here in Ct there is a company called SSS. Means Suburban Sanitation Services. Are these the guys you want to fix your mixer?
How's this? The only second post and it's already well down the toilet. |

Location: NJ | Bill, you've beaten me at my own game.
I bow to you, Sir . . .
Believe me Al, that was my first thought, but I'll need a two-week turnaround, tops. . . .
I'm gonna have it fixed during the weeks before/after the weekend I'm in Colorado. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Find a music store local to the gig. Ask to rent one. Ask for a discount cause you'll tell the audience your sob-story of losing the mixer the that store -insert name- rescued you and saved the gig. |

Location: NJ | The guy from Triple-S told me on the phone that it takes 7-10 days t'get it "on the bench", then another day/two to fix it. I can use my old, 5-channel Peavey in a potential "pinch".
. . . and yes, the Company is footing the bill. |

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | Cliff: The guitar tech (and I use the tern very loosely) that used to work at GC in Totowa was a full time Triple S employee. If he is an example of the type of people they hire, I would steer VERY clear of them. I agree with Al .... take it to Dave. |
