Things not to do in a music shop? Don't be a know-it-all tw*t...

That reminds me of a trick I've used a few times: to just pose a very neutral question that does not reveal my own knowledge level, and then see the path the seller tries to walk with me, and how much the seller knows and/or lies.

In my own shop, I've always asked potential customers about their reference frame and experience level, telling them that this info would help me inform them at the right level. Sadly, while experienced customers would appreciate, there were quite some newbies who preferred to act as if they knew a lot - this effectively damaging their own interests. 

BTW, it's hard for me as a know-it-all tw*t to decide to suddenly stop being that. One can't plan for the past. :)

Ah yes, the man who had a bass playing verb added to the urban dictionary in his honour.......

to clutterbuck - to play bass in a style that makes it sound like you're falling down the stairs....
