Bygone music/bass shops you were fond of?

McCormacks and CC Music in Glasgow. Bought a laney 4x10 amp & cab from the former and they delivered it in their branded van. Bought the a JV precision and later a JV jazz from CC music in early 80s -
Apparently, the Modulus made early necks were a myth (rrp of a modulus neck was almost as much as the rrp of the G Bass), and they are not actually carbon necks as marketed, they have a maple core with a carbon wrap. Still cracking basses for the money of course, but really interesting marketing choice from Peavey; the manual literally says it's a Carbon Graphite neck with no mention of it being mostly wood. Crazy but there you go. Still want it!

We’ll see how it goes down with the coal-villeins. They say coalvillians, I think my name is nearer the truth @Count Bassy

Matt was very patient with courier issues when buying some tuners from me! Easy communications and plenty of good humour. Very much appreciated Matt. Pete

That reminds me, I did have one break on me - one of the telescopic sections blew past its stop (because I was being a twit and I helped gravity plus the heaviest part with the legs to extend it at great speed) and bits of it came flying out and disappeared on a dark stage - oops! I reported this to them via the shop I bought it from (possibly glossing over how it came to break, lol) and it was a no quibble straight replacement - send the broken one back and they sent me a new one right away. Seems like they stand by their products, and idiots like me! Yeah, so don't do that then

Anyone tried comply tips? I didn't even bother using the standard. Have used these on all my non 'gigging' headphones forever so know I get a great fit. Aim once I sell my SVT Skunkworks head is to go custom. Really like the description of the Lugs SI - Dynamic Hybrid (2x Dynamic drivers and 1x High)

I just received some Hipshot Licensed Ultralite tuners from Pete. Guy's a legend - I was a bit brassed at the end of last month because the car's MOT was a bit of a sair one. Pete very kindly agreed to keep a set of tuners back for me for a week or so until pay day. Deal done, tuners arrived (eventually - courier snafu, not Pete's fault) and I can crack on with my project. Thanks Pete!

I’ve used K&M stands for years, well worth the money and you can almost always get spare parts for them.

I’ll try that, but my above seemed closest to me.

MaSh78 started following Phil Jones Bass - Double Four amp + battery pack

This is a fantastic little practice amp that I'm only selling as I'm now using my son's amp in the rehearsal room instead so it's surplus to requirements. In good condition bar the paint on the bottom front corners that has come off at some point. It's mostly been sat on my desk bar a couple of occasions taking to friends house and is from a smoke free home if that matters to you. Selling with 'Poweradd Pilot pro 2' external power pack that fits under the handle for portability - if you don't want this then the amp will be £220. Welcome to try if seriously interested, message me and we can arrange. Payment preferred by bank transfer but will accept cash. All documents included but no box unfortunately so I won't be posting.
