I'm actually a bit offended that the Assumption was made that I couldn't do it myself based on a three-sentence post that I didn't elaborate on. The problem here was the fact that I had to dissemble a kit in order to rebuild it. I contacted my friend to help for the speedball upgrade because I've never worked with boards, again I could elaborate further but I don't feel that it was necessary, I referred multiple people to the bottlehead amps and and everyone has been satisfied including myself. I just have a challenging tear down and rebuild that I needed to find parts for. I just rewired a 70 Mustang Mach 1 with a new full body harness by myself, the problem was never my ability to complete the work, nor my ability to take on a new project.
Rather, it was the fact that I have a newborn in the house, I have limited time, and rather than tackling the speedball by myself I had my buddy come do it because it sounded like he could knock it out quick. Which he did, but in doing so the integrity of the rest of the build deteriorated.
It's not a fault of bottlehead, which again, MAKE AWESOME PRODUCTS, but rather me having a friend that wanted to help and I agreed based on his experience. It backfired, and now I wish I would have Did It ALL Myself.
