My experience with Forat.

I had a blown scsi port, a blown right sample input, a dead pad, a back light that was off center and a broken start and stop buttons on my MPC3000. I call Forat and told him I was going to be in LA for a day (I live in the Bay Area) and he told me he could help me out. I met him at his repair shop after a 5 hour drive and he told me he could have it fixed that day saving me on shipping. 4 hours later he called me to let me know the price. It was half the price I was expecting to pay and he also did some additional work at no charge! I picked up my MPC later that evening at chilled with Bruce while he shared some MPC tips with me. I felt like a valued coustumer. Bruce at Forat is a stand up guy and I would recomned him for any music repairs.

Hell yeah Bruce is cool as **** no matter what anybody says. He def takes care of his customers. He may charge alittle bit more for a repair but I don't care cause his customer service is worth it and he replaces things for you that he notices might need to be fixed and will do it for free.

Yeah this is definately nice to know. I've heard this a lot about him.

Yeah dude is a valuable resource to the mpc community. He helped me with all the repairs I needed to perform myself. I bought a power cable connector from him and the experience was top notch.

Yep...I sent my MPC to Forat from overseas after speaking with Bruce over the phone. He repaired my MPC, the cost of repair was reasonable, and he got my MPC back to me in a speedy and safe manner.

Bruce is definitely a swell guy in my experience with him.

definitely a stand up dude

did the output boost and headphone in on my MK1 and checked some other things out as well

Yo Overflow can you take my mpc3k to forat for me and get the same deal? Just kidding. I need to get some work done as well. Hopefully I can make it out to Forat sometime in the near future.

Yo, Whats up Havik. It was fun rockin that show with Apakalips. Glad to see ya back in the Bay.

havik! peace akhi. you ain't the only one who's gear needs work. i got a whole row of pads that play all their sounds at the same time.

I've dealt with Bruce Forat & he is a great person to deal with. VST cats are good help too.

word up... glad you got everything worked out and had a cool experience too... i have yet to hear anything negative bout mr forat yet...

I heard Forat is good peeps, but I can also personally vouch for VST. They're good peeps also. Almost sent me out free cables when I didn't get mine for my XL in a timely manner. Has anyone else seen their shop? Man, that place is tiny!
