Dawson's Denmark St

[Boodang]

Just a bit of a shout out for Dawson's guitars as they gave fantastic service. Went there with a mate who wanted to get a Squier precision. Tried one in Dawson's then went over the road and tried the same model but we both agreed that the one in Dawson's just had a better feel to the neck. By the standards of the other instruments in the shop this was a cheap purchase (although a lot for my mate) but they were generous with their time and very helpful, even went to the effort of adjusting the action to suit. 

Amusingly, as they didn't have a suitable case we went over the road and one of the Dawson guys brought the bass so we could see it fitted. The bass guy in the other shop spotted us and asked why we didn't buy his one, to which we said the other one just felt better, to which he replied he said he would have adjusted the action but I said it wasn't that, it was just the neck felt better. As he wander off back to the basement (why are basses always in the basement?!) I could hear him mumbling in an annoyed voice 'i told them I would have adjusted it'. Quite awkward but also funny! 

Btw the Squier looks awesome in a flake gold finish and plays superbly. To my ears sounds good too but might benefit from a new pup at some stage.
