hey amigos,

i'm a full time musician, guitar and amp builder and repairman in puerto vallarta mexico (aka puerto viagra). i started playing in mo town in 62 and haven't quit yet. vintage rock, blues and some original stuff has kept me from drying up and blowing away. i keep stumbling across this site when searching for schematics and solutions and see it offers a whole lot more. glad to have signed up. hope i can contribute some info and answers in the future, time permitting. at 61 i have made most of the mistakes i could make by now aside from discharging filter caps through my heart.

cheers/salud!!!:BEER

Welcome. When did you make the move to PV? I first went there about 25 years ago. I've been many times. It has changed a lot. I had no idea there was a guitar/amp repair/builder there.

Welcome.

My family stays at La Jolla de Mismaloya (or whatever it called). Beautiful place.

hi, i've been here in this area for 10 years. i am on the north end of the bay of banderas and mismaloya is south of puerto vallarta. this IS a pretty cool place to live or visit. lots of music opportunity here. margaritas and music go hand in hand for the tourists, so we provide them something to tap their feet to and to dance to.

Very cool. Great to have you. I make it down to Cozumel for diving a couple times a year. If I ever head to the other side of Mexico I will have to look you up.

Welcome, I was in Bucerias for 10 days last month and have spent quite a bit of time in Vallarta over the years. Seems like there are plenty of places to play and make a living. Bienvenidos y buenas suerte.

Welcome!

My folks are on PV right now...actually flying home tonight after 4 weeks there. My sister just bought a condo there and wants me & the family to jet on down. Maybe we can meet up & share amp building stories!
