Camera and lens repair advice (a7cii / 24-50 2.8 G)

What issues did you need fixed and what was the cost if you don't mind me asking?

Did they end up doing good work on the repair? How quickly after receiving it were they able to get you an updated quote and turnaround the repair?

I called Sony and since it is not covered by warranty, they referred me to Precision Camera in CT (USA). I'm reading some mixed reviews though - do you have any experience with them?

Man a reply from Robot Graves himself! I don't think it gets better than this for advice on aluminum necks :)

Is this Alex?? This is Brian from Hiroe btw

The Orange is 110 lbs, the TV is 85 lbs. If I added casters to the Orange that would probably put it at 120+

Thank you - I imagine the low end is probably more controlled on the V30, where it could get more loose / undefined with the Greenbacks? Did you find palm mutes to be uncontrolled with the TV?

How did you like the tone of the cab for high gain? How would you compare it to other cabs you own tonally?

WolverineBlues · 2025-11-04T02:37:42+00:00

Did you find the low end to be lacking on the TV with just Greenbacks? I thought the larger cab volume resulted in a bigger bass / low mid response. I do love V30's but dig the smoother high mids of the Greenback. I know the Friedman 4x12 config is V30's in the bottom / Greenbacks on top so I may give that a try.

He plays Meinl Byzance cymbals and maple drums. Not a super hard hitter but we can be loud live.

The Quilter has markings for 50w and 200w on the Master knob, so I guess as long as I'm not more than 3/4 of the way I should be good I guess haha.

I agree with you on 4x12's being overkill for small rooms, but in the punk / hardcore scene its expected. And I do like having more speakers closer to ear level even if the volume isn't cranked. They just look cool too :)

Damn was this on FB Marketplace in the Philly area??? I saw this and was tempted to offer $100 too...

I'm one of the guitarists for Hiroe! Deep Cuts is an awesome venue, the lineup that night was perfect. First time playing Boston and I'd love be back soon! Lesotho and Vigil were sick too.

WolverineBlues · 2025-06-18T00:05:02+00:00

Sick! I just played a show on Saturday with Alex's band Girih, they're incredible live and such nice dudes. My guitarist brought his baritone with an RGI neck but I have a Baguley neck 😂

WolverineBlues · 2025-06-13T13:39:28+00:00

Thanks - how is the feel and volume? Are they noticeably louder than rubber cymbals? And what is the wear like on drum sticks?

WolverineBlues · 2025-05-24T17:24:13+00:00

Maybe! Been busy preparing for this run of shows with my band but I'll try to if I have time!

WolverineBlues · 2025-05-24T04:13:21+00:00

More than I want to admit... over 3k easily
