Thank you for swinging by my shop, I appreciate you taking the time to dig a little deeper:
I am a songwriter, recording engineer / producer & studio owner, tour, write / record and play bass / multi-instrumentalist as a member of Jamestown Revival. When not on tour, Nashville is home.
Own & operate The Retro Lab, a full service vintage-forward recording studio, featuring hundreds of various vintage & rare instruments and recording studio equipment, antique artifacts, & music history.
Originally from the Sierra Nevada Foothills of Northern California. I've been dealing in buying / selling / trading gear for as long as I can remember.
Please note: The positive experience and feedback of our customers supports and indicates the confidence that the items sold through The Retro Lab will be done thoughtfully, safely, and as quickly as possible. Please take into consideration and remember that as with many Reverb stores, you are dealing with 1 person, not a big box operation. Our shipment turnaround time is traditionally and historically pretty fast. In the event there should be any anticipated delay for any reason, we will be in communication with you.
Thanks for checking out the shop. Any questions about anything, please feel free to reach out!
Shipping Policy
I will ship with tracking to the listed regions. To negotiate shipping rates to other locations, please send me a message. In most instances, I ship via FedEx pack 'n ship centers, where they will fully pack, insure, and guarantee their work. I have found this to be the best policy in 20+ years of dealing with selling and shipping instruments online worldwide. The shipping amounts listed here within any ad are mere placeholder best guesses based upon typical scenarios, but every sale is a case by case scenario. I will not over charge you, and I will not undercharge myself. Buyer pays actual shipping amount, with receipt proof. Please note under under all circumstances at our discretion there is a 20% restocking fee for any items purchased where refund is requested prior to shipment, regardless of reason for refund from the customer. Especially in instances where the request to contact us *before purchase* to iron out shipping quotes is clearly stated in the ad. In short, if the ad states "please contact ahead of time to iron out shipping amounts", and instead the customer purchases the item, *then* we iron out shipping amounts, *then* customer changes mind because they don't like the shipping amounts and request a refund, there will be a 20% restocking fee. Any negative feedback left from customer due to disagreeing with any of the above or shopw-wide mentioned terms will not be tolerated, reported to reverb, and removed, so save us both the hassle. Please kindly keep in mind that as is the case with many, not all, but many Reverb Stores, you are dealing with a 1 person operation and not a retail / official shop location. We work as quickly as one individual can do, during normal human-business hours. We Thank you for your purchase, communication, and understanding. Our goal is to keep you happy, sometimes that takes time and uniqueness to each transaction. Cheers!

Communication is key, I am here to answer any and all questions you may have about any of the items in my store, available via email, text, or phone call.

I have yet to have there need to be a return of anything I have ever sold via here on Reverb, and on eBay, however for peace of mind I am willing to offer a return policy.
