Boston004681 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 So I was at GC today looking at drums(yes, drums, so the band can rehearse at my house). I came in about half-an-hour after they opened. So I started playing a set I thought i might buy. The salesguy yells at me, and says, "please don't play the drums. It's too early". The time was around 10:30-11:00, and i was thinking, "Ok. If 11:00 is early, i wonder when you woke up this morning." (No. 1) So I let that one go, went and played some guitars, and came back half-an-hour later. Now, there is a line in front of the desk. so there's this guy standing in line, and he brought his brother(?), and 3-year-old daughter. His daughter is crying because she wants to go home and see her mom.(No. 2) So i went and played that set again, and now his excuse is, "I can't hear these customers!" I was thinking, "I'm a customer too, and if you want to sell these drums, you will let me play them! And you just lost a customer. (No.3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 On a completely different note, I was in Guitar Center today, to check on the used inventory, and was quite pleased. I played two different Gibson acoustics (a J-45 and a Songwriter with about five words following it), both of which were incredibly nice. I played three other Gibsons, but they weren't quite as good as those two. Their electric guitar selection was a bit lacking, compared to how it usually is, but I wasn't really looking at many of them. They did have a used Epiphone Lucille which I played briefly, as well as a Gretsch Electromatic something-or-other that I liked. They didn't have any hollowbody basses, unfortunately, so I didn't play any. Maybe the store here is much better than yours, but I've never had any bad experiences.

NeoConMan Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 In my 20 years of dealing with those *** holes in a dozen stores across several states, there's only one guy I can recommend. His name is Andy Besecke and he's now manager of some store in California. Hope they haven't sucked the integrity out of him - yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basshole Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 You will find most of the bass at the local Guitar Centers in California, in bad condition. All need proper action adjustment and a good cleaning. There is not and I mean NOT one bass I can play with out having my fingers cramp up from pressing to hard and getting a myself checked for tetanus.

cookieman15061 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 If you guys frequented the GC in Danvers from 2000-02 you might have bought something from my brother as he managed that store. Before that worked at the one in Natick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
