So Talkbass Has A Store Now...

Thanks Paul and Jason for having that discussion openly.
I am just starting out on my own small business, not related to bass or music at all, so it was informative watching this thread.

I was sent the media kit today. The advertising banners were never presented to me. I had a dialog previously about the commercial forums which was the only thing that obviously presented itself. During those exchanges no mentions of banners. Totally would have done banner ad campaigns.
With the very professional media kit I was presented I actually am shocked no one sent it to me or contacted me regarding it.
In the ocean large predator fish are attended by little cleaner fish who are off the menu. If one kind of shark started snacking on its cleaner fish it wouldn't take too many generations for it to suffer.

We actually had a store here years ago. Paul even put up a t-shirt submission contest. This was my submission
Nice. I still have the TB travel cup I bought back then:
I've logged a ton of miles with that thing over the years, still works great.
Bryan: perhaps you should consider taking a step back from the debate. Your "contributions" are doing more harm than good are overtly defensive and often condescending in tone.
Your opinion is no more (or less) valid than the membership. The membership which is the audience, which is (or was ) the potential customer base.
The customer is always right is more than a motto.
Off topic trivia: That song was Todd's ringtone on Breaking Bad. The only time we heard it was when his phone rang after Jesse choked the life out of him.
I believe we also heard it before that when Walt called Todd about having the guys kill Jesse.

You're right, it is more than a motto. It's the slogan of the ignorant entitled masses, and it's completely untrue. No one is ever always right.
However, a good business should allow the customer to be wrong, while finding a way to make them still feel right at the end of their experience. That is an art in itself, and though rare, not impossible to find these days.
I'll always buy my strings through BSO, due to the service I've already been provided by Jason. I'll probably always read TB. I think things could have been done better, but i would nearly never begrudge someone for making a buck if they see a way. That's America.
Good luck with the store, I'll most likely get a shirt at least.

The customer is always right.
Right up to the point that the proprietor decides they no longer want said customer's money.

LOL will there ever be a time I can post something about a TV show that may be incorrect without you coming along with your big ass lizard brain and correcting me?
Next time I watch, I'll check that. For some reason I don't think Todd was all that hung up on Lydia at that point.
If tv trivia could get me money or chicks, that'd be something. As is, it's just a sign I have too much time on my hands.
That is something I could see myself buying for travel purposes but I'd prefer a large ceramic mug for home use.Nice. I still have the TB travel cup I bought back then:

Aye, I have a nice set that a potter friend of mine threw and traded me for some amp work. The travel cup works really well in a lot of cars' cup holders where many others don't though.
I'll make you one of these beauties for a half rack amp...
Can't blame me for trying.
