BassDad Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Don't know if anyone else has seen this? Just had an e-mail regarding the SC re-launch. Now being called Reverb which was what I think they used to call their magazine. Not all old SC shops probably just cherry picked the best sites. Possible bargains to be had? Frank Quote
crez5150 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 The Reverb Stores are the new Arbiter branches...... nothing to do with Sound Control Quote
Pkomor Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 But arbiter were thinking of buying sound control... maybe they have and this is the result? Quote
Toasted Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 They're the new arbiter stores. Says so on the email. Quote
Adrenochrome Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Sheffield Soundcontrol is re-opening as Reverb. Quote
Dubs Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 are they doing 20% off online deals? I can't seem to find a 'Reverb' online store or anything? Quote

Kiwi Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I've just come back from Zavvi Oxford Street and the basement is barricaded off with a notice saying Sound Control no longer trades from these premises. The basement itself has some display stands but looks basically gutted. Quote

KennysFord Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 has anyone heard whats happening to the preston store ???? Quote
BigRedX Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Anyone know what's happening to the Nottingham store? I know there's the Drum and Guitar thingy around the corner, which appears to have a great range percusive instruments, but the guitar and bass section is on a par with SC just before they closed down and not a patch on what it used to be when they were Carlsbro.

sam88 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 does anyone have any info about whats happening if you paid in advance and got ripped royally off by sound control? I dunno if the take over will mean anything but one can hope! Quote
sam88 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 bollocks. Ah well its only money so i tell myself. Quote

Shouldn't you be able to contact whoever is handling the Administration and request a 'Proof Of Debt' form!? Si Quote
cheddatom Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 But I have 55p credit at the Stoke shop! God damn nit. Quote
SJA Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 a bit confusing what's happened to Turnkey/Soho Soundhouse- PMT have bought it, and are keeping the staff on, but there's no store yet???? Quote
KevB Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Surprised no one has come in yet for the Nottm one, there has been a music store on that site for a long time, there's no other really wide ranging music shop in the city centre apart from an overpriced and understocked place in one of the shopping centres. SC was far from perfect but had the biggest selection in the city. Quote
obi 2 kenobi Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 CC Music !!! Its great they're back. Best music shop in the world* *probably Quote
DanOwens Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 A student of mine boughtan Ampeg head but couldn't carry it home. He left it and said "I'll be back tomorrow to pick it up." This was the day before it shut. His head is in the shop but he can't get it. Has he lost it? And is money? Dan Quote
