Jeff has taken over World Guitars and is opening a new showroom in Gloucestershire (according to the trade press) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassworm Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Jeff sold the business to a good friend of mine, Dave Barlow (Fine guitarist and top bloke). Incidentally, Machinehead are now stocking Overwater in their bass section if anyone fancies one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 ahh yes, I see that the info on Worldguitars.co.uk says : Proprietor: J. Pumfrett. Thanks for that. Jeff is a fascinating character, I'm glad to see that he is still selling guitars somewhere. Your mate seems like a decent sort of guy as well, I've been in a few times recently and got exactly the friendly welcoming response that you hope for in shops (but don't always get!). It's a great shop and it's pretty local for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardH Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Barry Palmer is now working at [url="http://www.giggear.co.uk/home/index.php?f=workshop"]Giggear in Harlow[/url] - and a fine job he does too. Had my bass set up by him, and one of the guitarists had a fretdress and setup from him, which he's delighted with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
