The one by me sells shit that they know isn't working right. I found out quick you don't buy anything from there unless you go over it inside and out.... literally. I actually bring screw drivers and open shit up to look in. I've found amps that don't even turn on, let alone wasted. I've seen cabs with holes in the speakers, speakers without magnets/wires. Rackmounts that only make crackling noises. Mix boards that don't work cause there's water damage inside. The staff always treats you like shit. Even when you walk in loaded with money. They talk to you like you're in idiot. I had a clerk try to sell me a regular tama pedal, telling me it was an iron cobra. Fuck daddys. |

(gear not working) i used to go to the daddy's in dartmouth, ma, on my breaks from school and no one seemed to know what they were doing. i sold a cab there that was listed as only $105 in the blue book or whatever. i told them guitar center offered $150 so they were like "oh don't tell us that, they're our competition!"....no shit...so i told them i was going to take it to GC, and the dude was like "ok well how about we give you $165" and it was a done deal. little did they know, one of the speakers was blown and another was on its way. dumbasses. |

I dropped a bass off to get the intunation adjusted. I gave them a week to do it, and told them I absolutely 100% needed it by friday because I was leaving for a show in Pennsylvania that night. I called them Friday afternoon and asked if it was ready, and they said yes. I get there, show them my slip, and tell them I'm here for my bass, and they look at me like a bass is something I just made up on the spot. It took a solid couple of minutes for them to even realize what I was there for, and then I see them scrambling around with my bass out back. I ask what's going on, and they tell me that their repair guy never came in that day, and that they were going to do it right now. It took them a half hour to pull it off (and even put it in the wrong tuning). Meanwhile my singer is waiting out in the car, and we've got like 15 minutes to get to the van rental place before it closes. THEN the 700 year old hippie owner comes sauntering out of the back room with my bass. I'm totally in a rush, and I've been waiting for like 40 minutes at this point. Rather than just packing it up, and ringing up my order this fucking guy plugs my bass into a display amp and starts jamming out while he lectures me. "Ya know *jazzy bass lead* the neck on this is bowed and it probably won't *more stupid jazz bass* play as well as it could *do do dodo ddodo* I really think we should..." I try to explain to this idiot that it's not my bass, it's a peice of shit anyways, and all I care about is getting through this one show. The guy just keeps jamming out on my bass in front of me for 10 minutes telling me that he wants to do 8 billion dollars worth of repairs on a $200 bass. Up theirs. They are supposed to fix the neck bow before setting the intonation, otherwise it won't intonate. not to mention, if they intonated it for the wrong tuning, it wasn't intonated it when you tuned it correctly. I would have not paid for their services and forced thm to make me free spaghetti for the rest of my life. |

| ___________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 3:25pm - ariavette ""] i just went in there on my lunch break to pay for a guitar.. All i had to do was pay for a special order. They already knew what i was getting. IT should have taken 2 minutes... and i stood there for about 10 waiting for this guy " keith".. who was obviously busy.. but around him were about 4 guys doing absolutely nothing and fucking around with eachother... |
| ______________________________ [Dec 12,2006 4:57pm - Lamp ""] Hahaha, were you at the Warwick GC? There's this guy Keith who works there, one day one of my friends and I were in there and he comes up to us and goes in an obviously fake hippie rock accent "Yo man I can help you get the guitar a yo dreams all ya have to do is come with me on a magical journey through guitar land" or some shit. It was like he was reading from a script from the worst movie ever. Hilarious. |
