The Guitar Emporium at 2997 Broadmoor Valley Rd deals in making and repairing Custom Guitars. Also Michael Miller on Farragut ave is good from what I hear.

Hey just to post it and let you guys all know:
Primus is touring again and will be at the red rocks August 12th. I'll be there, so if anyone wants to meet up, drink some beers or what not.

Ooooo... I've always wanted to see them too! I might have to take you up on that, sir!
I'll see your Primus info and raise you some Tool... They'll be at Red Rock June 28-29!

I've got a summons that day.
EDIT: Oh and I'm going to see Melvins at the Ogden that night as well.
Yo! Lafayette here!

My gutiar player has had Justin Hackl do some work on his guitars... Invalid Link Removed - Looks like the site is having problems right now. Otherwise, I always take my amps and basses to Robb's Music in Boulder. Both techs there are awesome, but I'm not sure they'd do routing... I've never had to have that done.

I have gone to hackl as well. Really nice guy who does good work.
Man, I need to go to that melvins show...

There are so many awesome shows this summer that I've run out of damn money... So far I have this going on:
6/16 - Psychedelic Furs
6/19 - Westord Music Festival (Superchunk!!!)
7/31 - Joan Jett (in Council Bluffs, IA)
8/25 - Slayer & Megadeth
9/9 - Pavement
Also probably going to the Modest Mouse show at Broomfield because there are no service fees!!! Want to go to Tom Petty but those tickets are damned expensive. I'd like to go to that Melvins show too. Hmm.

Wow, wife just called and told me she just bought us tickets for Alice in Chains in October. Funny thing is that it's my birthday present (my birthday is Monday). That's gonna be a long wait!
...and we have tickets to see Weird Al Yankovic in July! He actually has some amazing musicians backing him.

I live in Colorado Springs, and the music stores here are pretty pathetic for bass players.
Which stores in Denver have the best selection of amps and cabs (beyond the usual Fender/Ampeg/Behringer lines)?
Thanks,
JD

there are 3 Guitar Center's they have some stuff and sometimes you even get lucky because they might have some fancy stuff in consignment.
If you're going to make a day trip out of it, let me know...maybe i'll tag along, hehe.
We've had a few boutique shops through the years (First Bass and GuitarX among them) that have not been able to survive. GuitarX may still be around, not as a brick and mortar operation. I think the chain retailers, along with very small neighborhood shops that cater to music students, are what we have these days.
Yeah, I really miss Guitar-X. I talked with him on the phone. He has an internet store out of his house, and does not carry much inventory (and doesn't take trades).
Happyface: We could certainly do a trip up to the big city some time. (Pa might let me go after the chores get done.)

Same here. It was a really cool shop, lots of nice gear.
I heard that Drum City Guitarland (off of 44th and Garrison) is a pretty decent shop, but I've never been there. Been meaning to check it out for a while now, maybe I should do that tomorrow.
They're listed as an Orange dealer (a little surprising), but how much they have in stock is the REAL question.I wish we had someplace that wasn't just run-of-the-mill stuff. I'm bored with the same ol' gear I see in Guitar Center, and even "common" bass stuff from companies like EHX and MXR are actually "special order."
*sigh* Sorry... /rant.

Yeah, I would have to say the best place for pedals (especially bass specific ones) is the TB Classifieds.
But look's like Tool's sold out. So everybody come see melvins instead.
