Cato Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Always sad to see a guitar shop closing. At least in this case it seems to happening on their terms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Always sad when a shop closes but it has to be said that whie it was a great guitar shop it wasn't exactly that useful as a bass shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Gutted. Always loved popping in there for a nose about and the staff were great. I mainly bought straps from there, about four by last count!! But tried out a few basses. Sad they're closing rather than selling the business on or somehow keeping it going, but I'm sure they investigated all possibilities before coming to this decision.
