^^ Pag 1st World country na tayo, puwede na ang mga mala-Swee Lee na stores dito.
My main frustration here is a lack of both spare parts for amps and guitars, and of general accountability as a whole. Malakas dito magbenta ng mga tube amps from brands like Fender, Marshall, Laney, Vox and the like. Pati na rin mga guitars na while not truly high-end are still decent. Pero pag nagtanong ka ng parts for these things, biglang wala. So pag nagloko or nasira, buwan ang hihintayin kasi special order yung mga piyesa. Minsan 12ax7 tubes na lang, wala pa.
Which brings me to my 2nd point. Pag nagkaproblema yung ginamit na binili mo sa tindahan, natural naman na dun mo dadalhin para ipagawa, diba? Pero may times na parang idi-discourage ka pa na ipagawa sa kanila. Ang daming sinasabi na "nako, matagal yan sir, walang piyesa, may tipus yung technician, blah blah blah." Pero kung magbenta ng gamit, ipapangako sa iyo ang buong mundo basta bilhin mo lang. Dapat kung may binebenta ang tindahan, kahit service needs handa silang i-fill ASAP, whether through trained techs, spare parts or whatever else may be needed. Para kang bumili ng kotse (and let's face it, some pieces of gear have prices high enough to buy a secondhand vehicle) pero yung manufacturer na binilhan mo wala naman palang service capabilities.
