MB1. We're not talking Cheap Chipboard sh*te! here. The Grill on its own without the badge will cost you £30+, the badge is £10+the handles must be at least another £40,the covering isnt cheap either, the cabinet is an ABM Cabinet ..... properly jointed and sealed. This is a STEAL!

[quote name='Protium' post='266572' date='Aug 20 2008, 07:49 PM']Music Ground on Oxford Road, Manchester is rubbish too. Looking on eBay now, £1700 for a Ric 4003? (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150282792550) "At this time rickenbacker are quoting circa 6-12 months on new orders and based on this schedule do expect interest in above being strong" Does this justify almost doubling the price?[/quote] MB1. Music Ground Oxford Road Manchester!.... I know personally not to be rubbish! as i know the people who work there ,and i have indeed worked there myself. John Rob and Tony will endeavour to obtain whatever your heart may desire at the best price possible ,They will attempt to match Internet prices,and all members of the staff are helpful without being annoying!(theyll usually just plug you in and leave you to it!)as for the Rickenbacker Scenario thats down to Rickenbacker themselves apparently an attempt to clear back orders?.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='267476' date='Aug 21 2008, 11:57 PM']Chester....Monday....Dawsons. Wife gone to Dental appointment, husband goes into aformentioned shop. Looks around at overpriced chinese instruments and in desperation asks if he can try an Electro Harmonix QTron. Response from assistant number 1, "er, I don't think we sell them." Number 2 chimes in, "We can order one in for you to try but it will take 2 weeks and you will have to leave a deposit". Feeling in boyish mood I ask, "Can the USA Strat be reduced in price because it has got a dent and scratches?" Number 2, "No, that's how it came in". It is endemic of music shops in general and always has been, that the level of service is dependant on the management philosophy. Good service = good business. Easy equation.[/quote] MB1. They werent called Ken and Kenneth by any Chance?.....Suits YOU!
