I know I've seen it posted before...the search is not revealing anything.
It's either in Arlington or Alexandria...
Thanks.

| | | | you prolly want Action Guitar, which is not a "high-end" bass shop, but deals in lots of nice vintage and new gear. Boo-teek effects, too.
It's in Falls Church off West Street.

| | | Some ridiculous players show up there. Humble cats who play really really well. Not a GC slap & pop shred fest. Great ambience and Jong is the man.
You can see all the exceptional stuff we talk about here.
You can play a Schroeder next to a wall of Epifani next to your Bergs next to EA etc. You can put the AG751 on a NV610 and know what folks are talking about. Pres and good prices on DR strings.
I don't work for Jong.  |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Alexandria, VA | | | it is Jive sound, great shop. However I'll say I got some nice USA G&L's one new/one used at Action, as mentioned nice vintage stuff, just thought I'd mention that becasue although Jong has G&L tribute, I don't think he has any USA. Although you did say high end, so go to Jive Sound!

| | | | Need to do another road trip to Jive Sound. I was thinking about a road trip to Rocket, but it's 300 miles one way for me. |

If you prefer used gear, give them a look... you can find real gems there from time to time
