Anybody bought from Rubadub in Glasgow?

[Quatschmacher]

Just come across this shop and the prices seem really good. Wish I’d seen it on Saturday so I could’ve got a better price match on something I just bought.

Has anyone bought from them? How was the experience?

No but I have been considering using them. They have a very active social media presence with some great tuition videos. Billy Gibbons even popped in last time he was in Glasgow.

I bought an interface and some studio monitors from their shop, but at my request they dispatched them to my home address from their mail-order operation free of charge.  They were very willing to price match, have a interesting selection of synths and monitors in the shop.  I don't think they do basses though, unless things have changed recently - my purchases were about 3 years ago.  Based on that experience I would thoroughly recommend them - much more friendly than the equivalent Guitar Guitar music tech shop in Glasgow.

Thanks. I’m particularly looking at synths and pedals.

I’ve never used them myself - I’ve always thought of them as a DJ / dance music producer type place. However, they are long established - their shop has been there for as long as I can remember, perhaps 20 years.

I'm not down that way very much (most men visit Howard Street as there is a well known "quick in and out" business suit emporium and I am a scruff). In my head, they've been there for a few years now. Never ventured in...

I normally pass it when out shopping with the wife. She’ll be in the St Enoch Centre and I’ll head along to Kenny’s Music for a browse, passing Rub A Dub. Like you, I’ve never been in myself.

I'd never heard of them until I saw this post. Since I'm needing a daft cable for the wireless transmitter I thought I'd email them before ordering from Thomann.

The fella Aleks was quic kwith his replies.Sadly they didn't have what I needed but at least he had a look and offered some suggestions. Makes a change from GG,standard response I get there is " Sorry mate if it's not on the racks we don't stock it ".

 

I'll be keeping them in mind for the future.

When I popped back into my local store to get them to price match one of the guys who works there told me he’s bought stuff from them before, so that is reassuring.
