To be fair to GG, if someone in another store wants to try a bass from another part of the country, they have to put a deposit (fully refundable) down and this may have have contributed to the sold/not sold situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point - usually get great service. I went home to check and found it was still for sale. Then I should just have 'bought' it but didn't want the hassle of reclaiming my dosh if it had gone.

I bought a second-hand bass in G/G Edinburgh. It was silly cheap because someone had paid a deposit many months before and never returned and they just wanted shot of it. £130(!) with slightly chewed hard case, strap, straplocks and even a lead... Must admit my opinion of G/G has gone up a lot since a poor experience a number of years go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
