the exception in melbourne is gallens (on chapel st). gallen is a total prick, which is too bad because he is the best for vintage gibson

I started playing a little bit of Primus and they all came over to me, and they were like, "We were attracted to the Claypool!" So me and a couple other guys jam on an American Jazz bass that was Silver and Black pickgutard and it was awesome. Then we played an upright... THE TANGENT ENDS HERE. Anyways, after that, I go to a little guitar shop called "The Guitar Factory" or something, and I was like, "Oh this is a cute little place." So I go in and I see a guy about to purchase a Squier Affinity P-bass kit (eeeeeyar!) I go and take a Godin Acoustic bass off of the wall and I started playing some Floyd and the guy comes over to me and he's says, "If you take down a guitar without asking me, I will have to kill you. This isn't Marshall's or Guitar Center." So my dad goes, "We're getting out of here." I hang up the bass, my dad mutters, "Jackass" and he lost himself a sale.

On the way out I should've told that guy buying the P-bass pack to put it back and go to Rondo. F*ckin *sshole.

DON'T GO TO GUITAR FACTORY ON FRONT STREET IN TRAVERSE CITY. PICKET IT.

That the place down on the lower level near the west end of downtown? Haven't been there in a few years, but they were always pretty cool.

Maybe the salesman was just having a bad-sales-day..?

I find it almost as annoying when You can't get ANY reaction from the sales staff.
When I was amp-shopping some years back I went into one of the local stores to have a look at his amps and prices, and ask what he could order home and so on.
He showed me the small amps he had in stock, but when I told him what I had looked at so far and asked if he could recommend anything similar or better he just shrugged and said "nah, this is what I've got..."
If I were a salesperson and had a customer tell me what he had to choose from so far was in the 3-5000$ pricerange I'd be a little more helpful...
Needles to say I left the store and got my amp (a Hartke 7000 head, 4x5, 4x10, 2x15 cabs) from a competitor.
