Bankai Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 After a few interviews I've been offered a trial position at the brand new GuitarGuitar shop in Epsom. I'll be working there tomorrow (Sunday) in the bass section (Yes we have a bass section!) For those of you who haven't dropped in yet, then this may well be the perfect opportunity! The store has got extensive stock (over 1000 guitars), good prices, and a bc'er as staff! We've got most brands on display and ready for trying out; lakland, suhr, rickys, fender, aguilar, orange and more. We're also giving free sets of guitar strings to anyone who comes through the door. Drop me a PM if you're planning on coming by and I'll keep a look out for you. We're doing 3 for 2 on boss pedals as well if that takes your fancy Hope to see you there! Quote

gary mac Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Chuffed for you, well done. Not my neck of the woods so won't be dropping in just yet. Quote
lojo Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Congrats on the job I'm a few miles away and have not heard of this new shop ? You there beyond Sunday ? Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Nice one! As Cliff would say "Congratulations!" Epsom's not far from me, but I'm not sure I'll be able to pop in for the free strings tomorrow - I never change the strings on my geetars anyway! I'll probably be able to make it over to check the shop out at some point soon though. Is there any parking nearby or is the Ashley Centre my best bet? Quote
Linus27 Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Good luck Alex, hope you have a great day. I don't think I can make it as its quite a trip for me from Camberley. I must say though, I do want that Lakland Darryl Jones in natural that you have in store Quote

You there beyond Sunday ?[/quote] Hiya. They opened yesterday. The company has got a few stores up north but this is their first down here. It's also their biggest and the UK's biggest! Today (Sunday) is my trial, so providing I'm what they're looking for then I'll be staying on as it'll become my full-time job! Which I hope it does And yes, sadly we're not giving bass cables, only electric and acoustic guitar ones. But I'm sure if you drop by and get a set they could be swapped for a beer with your band's guitarist! Quote

Bankai Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 [quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1274220' date='Jun 18 2011, 10:43 PM']Is there any parking nearby or is the Ashley Centre my best bet?[/quote] There's a car park behind the Odeon which is only about 50 metres away. To get in to the car park head up the upper high-street past the Odeon. Then park right down in the corner nearest the store. There'll be a path out to the road side. Quote

Anyway, guitar strings are better for snaring rabbits! I might well have a drive out, and tell the management how many contacts you have on BC, and all the revenue that will bring. Congrats on the job, but go to bed for Christ sake, you've work in the morning Quote
ezbass Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Nice one. Me and other guitar playing chums (both bass and treble) intend to descend posse like in the not too distant future. I'm so glad we've finally got a decent musical instrument outlet locally Quote
