[quote name='throwoff' post='1367519' date='Sep 9 2011, 12:25 PM']I for one have bought many things on a whim before simply because I played with them and liked them. Just because you walk into a shop with no intention to buy does not mean you cant A afford to or B decide to. If it means the assistant asks you to empty your pockets and remove your belt before playing then eyes you like a hawk while you do I understand if the bass is valuable. Why dont shops ask people to put on a dressing gown when they want to play something highly expensive for instance, yes you look silly but the isntrument is then supported on a soft fabric in all contact points. I for one as a customer would completely respect this and being made to look a bit foolish may well put off a lot of window shoppers as well. Theres ways around the possible damage argument. A flat buy it or get out attitude wins no sympathy from me.[/quote] MB1. I do all the shopping in my dressing gown since i stopped taking my medication.

For example, the second picture in this Aerodyne auction, all I can see is a very bright finger.

[quote name='charic' post='1365290' date='Sep 7 2011, 02:00 PM']You mean like digital village do as standard?[/quote] MB1. Yes but unlike the internet, shops do have large overheads to meet

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1365227' date='Sep 7 2011, 01:11 PM']I think the bottom line here is that in any form of retail you just can't get it right all the time. What I do see a lot more, especially with younger kids, is a lack of respect for the instruments. The number of them that just grab hold of guitars off the wall without asking seems to have increased over the years. Also, I think it's frustrating for any salesman to give quality time and advice and allow the instruments to be played, only to then be asked to price match another store. It's just that I personally couldn't bring myself to do that, but that's me.[/quote] MB1. Its usually price match the internet ,thats even cheekier!

MB1. +Twelvety Spoke to Guy this morning! hes always helpful and sorted the problem immediately! As usual Absolutely Mustard Customer Service! Many Thanks! Martin.

I generally wouldn't pay extra either, but I guess someone out there may so it seems ebay is the way, but I'll stick a post up on Level 42 and Statii sites as well and see what happens. cheers p.[/quote] MB1. Natasha Henstridge is the blonde in SPECIES!

[quote name='witterth' post='1361753' date='Sep 4 2011, 01:36 PM']If you are in manchester check out (our own) Andy Travis in Dawsons top geezer who will see you right ( but ask for him first) He goes the long route to help out a bass player ( and can play a bit too!!) the other one up north is PMT in salford (sorry to name check the competion Andy) but nothing but the best in sevice advice and help there too. I'd be willing to bet the rest of the stores are the same... but that is a guess.[/quote] MB1. Not forgetting the long established small family firm known as" Johnny Roadhouse Music" whose emporium of delights is on Oxford road Manchester. ask for Danny
