He proceeded to take quite a bit of time on the phone giving me advice on how to go about troubleshooting or attempting to fix an issue and giving me general advice that seemed super honest. THIS is the sort of business I can get behind. This is what will make me call here when I need something. It feels like a business that actually cares about synths and their customers.

After taking it to another shop in LA where they basically told me "you're shit out of luck" took it to Nomadic after it was sitting in its case for a year... what can I say man I'm a xennial raised on Brave Little Toaster, so I was starting to literally feel BAD about playing my other guitars and not playing my old friend that I'd learned to play on. Not only did Nomadic fix my gear ahead of schedule, but they promptly responded to all my texts and were super accommodating on pickup scheduling when I was out of town. Even though they're not expensive instruments, the prices were completely reasonable, and you cannot put a price on sentimental value. My old friend is back, sounds and feels great, and I could not be more satisfied. 5/5 10/10. Don't fuck around, bring your gear to Nomadic.

This "new" person was far better to deal with. Greeted me when I entered and was willing to negotiate on the price of the items. The original person was still very unpleasant.

In the end because of this other person I will be willing to go there again and see how often they get new items.

By design these courses are meant for a group of 4 students. Just wanted to ask about it since the schedule was not up to date. But the person responded very quickly and checked in with the instructor to see when he was available to host one of those courses. Once I heard back I paid to secure my spot. My instructor was Daniel Corral, he was an absolute gem :) he was very patient with me, I have no music experience at all and was fortunate that I was the only student in this class. Daniel gave me a 30 min lesson every week with music sheets and things to work on for the week. I felt really nervous about taking this class since I'm an old lady but he made me feel very comfortable. I can't say I'm amazing now but I understand and feel comfortable learning the ukulele because of Daniel. I highly recommend this studio and I'm sure all the instructors are great!

They helped me get everything set up, did beautiful custom cable work and answered every question I had with helpfulness and a real enthusiasm for their work.

Pro Audio LA was once a highly reputable, trustworthy, consistently reliable company with an…read moreexemplary business model. But over the course of the past year or so (beginning around roughly mid-2025 and onward), the company inexplicably took a nosedive with its prior reputation and is quickly sending it to the dumpster, given that it mysteriously no longer responds to communications and is increasingly failing to fulfill and/or ship its existing orders. I am not certain what suddenly changed - perhaps the ownership was transfered and/or bought out, or maybe their next-of-kin inherited the business - but regardless of the reasons, I CAN tell you with certainty by this point in time is that this is no longer the Pro Audio LA which we audio professionals so fondly remember, most sadly to say. Because all of its communications and ordering processes have just about broken down within the past months, even as it continues to accept your online orders and take your money! For the record: I have $300-worth of audio interconnect cables ordered from this past springtime of 2026, and it is now mid-July as of the time of my writing of this review, yet STILL I have heard nothing further of my order. Even after multiple communication attempts. Nothing but dead silence on the other end, even though ... again ... the online order form remains open, functional, and happily charges your credit card without batting an eyelash. Clearly, something has gone terribly, heinously amiss while SOMEONE on the other end continues to take your money. And that's just about where the paper trail ends, because your online order stays in perpetual "processing" with nothing further done. That's where it sits, even as of today. So, please, heed my warning and do NOT give Pro Audio LA a single cent of your business from this point, onward. At least not until some kind of definitive light is shed on whatever has transpired within the establishment, regarding its suddenly-tanking business model. Because this doesn't smell right at all, and I am not the only recent buyer who has been raising awareness about the recent 180° turn for the worse by this company.

I brought my guitar to Ike's expecting nothing more than a quick pickguard swap and a tightened…read moreoutput jack. But after a short consultation, I decided to go for a full setup and I cannot overstate how glad I am that I did. For $135 (including new strings), Ike completely transformed my guitar. I had a setup done by a respected local luthier just a year ago, so I assumed another wasn't necessary. I was very wrong. Ike is operating on another level entirely. He immediately identified an issue with the floating bridge and dialed everything in with surgical precision. The result? Unreal. The frets now feel like glass where they meet the neckboard on sides. So smooth, fast, and effortless. My Squier Classic Vibe Jaguar, which I already loved, suddenly feels like a high-end, custom shop guitar. And here's what really sets Ike apart: not just his technical brilliance, but the way he infuses the process with excitement. He doesn't just set up guitars; he unlocks their potential. His work has reignited my joy for playing, and I just love the feel. If you care about your instrument, take it to Ike. He's not only a master technician but a freakin' artist!

Let me be totally honest with you here: 80-90% of the time, synth repairs are pretty easy. Usually some capacitor is shorted. I desolder it, put a new one in, now it works fine. Or a knob or slider is broken. I desolder it, put a new one in, you're good to go. Or somebody (no shame) used the wrong polarity plug and blew a voltage regulator. Same deal. Sometimes there are big weird holistic things wrong, and that can be kind of fun too -- but seriously, 90% of the time it's dumb and easy. So come on by and get your gear fixed the cheap and easy way -- at cheap and easy synth repair."
