Nope... but then again you don't see a lot of brazen lesbians around these parts

When I mooched today they had 2 fretless uprights but nothing else. I was very disappointed! They seem to have expanded their selection or fad guitars but reduced the amount of basses. There wasn't even one bass I could see with more than 4 strings.

[quote name='arsenic' post='886492' date='Jul 5 2010, 05:24 PM']Just had a look at their website - I can't even see a "contact us" link - though they do have a Face Book page you could leave some feedback on - they even have a discussion about how brilliant they are (in fact they have commented on how friendly they are too)[/quote]
and I thought I'd seen it all...

[quote name='OldGit' post='886469' date='Jul 5 2010, 05:11 PM']Print that and send it to the owner...[/quote]

I don't know who it is! lol

Maybe every few months? Not that often anyway. Maybe 3-4 times a year.

Worst customer service.. EVER.

Went in to get some fastfret as I was across the road from it on at training course (Mortgage Rescue schemes.... snore...). I went in and mooched around. All of the staff were on the counter looking manic depressive and mumbling incoherently to themselves. Wasn't asked if I needed help or anything (I'm not complaining at that, makes a change to be left in peace!). Eventually went up to the counter and asked for it to be met by the most miserable looking bloke in existence who just went 'Yup' and pointed at the counter. Grabbed it and gave it to a guy to pay who lookd genuinely put out that I had to drag him away from the group of melancholy grumbling mardy arses. The only words he mumbled to me the whole time was 'put your pin in' before slamming my card and receipt down on the counter and walking off. No thank you, no bye, not even a general acknowledgment of my existence.
The bloody fastfret was overpriced too!

Won't be going THERE again!

The Ibanez is soon going to be defretted and be made into a lush fretless... I haven't decided whether to have it lined yet though... hmm.. one step at a time

LOL I LOVE your avatar...

Anyone know of any good youtube vids with good comparisons? Have been looking but most of them are rubbish quality!

Scales and Arpeggios aren't a problem, know all my intervals, bass patterns I'm fine with just need to remember which names are for which riff (if that makes sense)... the only bits I need to work on over the next few weeks are the repetition of phrases and the performance really. Everything else I'm ok with, just need to keep practicing everything

Wooooooop! Typically it clashed with the Race for Life I'm doing as it's Sunday 18th July at 10am, but I've managed to switch races so now I've got my exam and my Race for Life to look forward to.

Now the knuckling down begins!

eeeeeeee I'm excited

Is it rosewood yea. I didn't think about wear and tear on the fretboard actually so I'm glad you mentioned that!
