Went there when Brian had the shop in Memphis. Super nice guy and let me play whatever I wanted. Can't wait to when I can get to the Nashville area to go by the new shop. Looks like he has many more basses. Was in Orlando a couple of weeks ago and went to Bass Central and had a much better experience at Brian's place. Not as accommodating at Bass Central, seemed to have to pry info out of the guys there, not so at the Low End.

Funny, I had the same experience there. I've dealt with BC a couple of times in the past online, and they were great. But as a store front shop, they were lacking. Most of their inventory is boxed and in the warehouse. Wasn't able to try much out in store. Brian's shop is awesome and he's an great guy to talk with about gear etc...

I hate to say anything bad about a company, especially since I know Dave and Beav... plus, I used to deal with Gard a bunch before he got the gig at Roscoe... But, LowEnd is definitely has a better layout... More Ffung Shway (sp?) Plus, Brian is very easy to deal with and very knowledgeable, never afraid of giving his real opinion.

Any chance u managed to take a snap of the ebony topped Benavente SCB6? :)

I'll check through the other pix I took... If not it has to be on Brian's site.

Cool! Thanks for taking the trouble to post those pictures!

You are welcome.

What is that red bas with the four little circular pickups?

Atlansia, crazy boutique japanese bass custom shop... Not sure if you can see from the pix, but it has a wild radiused FB.
 
wow - looks like a cool place to be "accidentally" locked in over a weekend :D

yeah, I've day dreamed about that... The only thing is that even over a weekend, you wouldn't get all that much time with all of the basses that are in his shop.

Hmmmm. All those coffe tables are not my cup of tea at all. That Ric, though...

Hey, [sarcasm] thank you so very much for sharing that with us...[/sarcasm]
:D
 
WOW. Hopefully they supply napkins for drool.

Love that Camo LowEnd (except for the extra string) and the STR double cut with the dual coils calls to me.

Nice stuff.

Oh, and every time I see a pic of Brian's trademark hair I think of that guy from The Food Network, Guy Fieri.
