What's on the wall
“My relationship with Dave's sound started in the early 90's when the neck on my Gibson SG snapped at the neck/body joint, and it actually played BETTER after the repair.”
“I have been using Bill Baker at Dave's Sound for years now, and I will not let anyone else touch any of my guitars or basses.”
“I have been a regular customer for maybe twenty years and I value their contribution to the quality of sound my guitars and amps produce.”
“A good old hippy that knows new and vintage amps.”
“I gave Dave a call; he was SO friendly and actually recommended I consider not having my amp repaired because the repairs would cost as much as the amp is worth.”
“Mandolin (the guy that plays death metal on his Mandolin) Bill is the one who gave me that nickname.”
Brands they deal
“I need to keep the guitar all original since it is a Fender Custom Shop model with hand wound, signed pickups.”
“My relationship with Dave's sound started in the early 90's when the neck on my Gibson SG snapped at the neck/body joint, and it actually played BETTER after the repair.”
“Took my well loved PRS DGT in for some TLC, its frets were worn and tattered, it was long overdue for a setup too.”
What players say again and again
“I am a shredder style metal guitar player and NO ONE has been able to set up my guitar properly with the exception of Bill.”
“Once again Daves Sound Repair, and Bill Baker (guitar tech) are friendly and came through with fast, expert work, once and done.”
From the reviews
I have been using Bill Baker at Dave's Sound for years now, and I will not let anyone else touch any of my guitars or basses. He is super nice, patient, and mega skilled. He makes all of my guitars play and sound amazing.
CBJC guitar shop in Jersey City recommended that I reach out to Dave to see about having my amp repaired. I gave Dave a call; he was SO friendly and actually recommended I consider not having my amp repaired because the repairs would cost as much as the amp is worth.
I have known Dave since I was a teenager. A few years back he repaired my Fender Super Reverb amp. He did an excellent job and years later my amp still functions beautifully. Highly recommend his professional service.
Dave is a total amp expert. A good old hippy that knows new and vintage amps. He always has suggestions to tweak and upgrade your valve amp, new or old. I go nowhere else for my amp repairs.
