Pat, not to make it worse or anything, but Brian had all his inventory at the Ohio Guitar show about a month ago too
WHAT!!!??? Bu...bu...but, that's not fair!!!
He better move into Cincinnati. I'm tired of GC. :scowl:
hmm...how bout opening a shop in the ATL so I can find a job that suits me 
I love lookin at TLE. Sure, I get GAS everytime, but it's so worth it. Maybe I can find a weekend or something to drive up there and see everything in person.
great lookin site and shop!

There's a nice little bass specialty shop here in Austin called the Bass Emporium. It's kinda small, but they've got some pretty nice basses on display that you won't see in a GC or other general music store.

As an aside, I'll be heading to Orlando / Winterhaven in a few weeks, and a friend of mine (Bob Lane / Band: Weszt) and I will be hitting up Bass Central, so I'll be able to post some comparisons. Woohoo!!
I don't deserve to play any of those basses. But I'd love to sit and fiddle with one...and I've always wanted to go to Tennessee.
yea, I'll be makin' a trip there tomorrow. The shop is less than 10 minutes from my house. I've been once, awesome stuff there. I'm still embarrassed takin' my SX in there but I can't play it for the fret buzz so it needs a good setup. I'll have to make sure they are open tomorrow. Either way, I have to run to M'boro anyways...

Sound like Brian & Co. should also open up a travel agency to offer The Low End Vacation Getaway packages.
Flight, hotel and transportation to and from the store (along with Grand Ole Opry tickets, etc.)

I moved to orlando a few months ago and have stopped in Bass Central a few times. Their selection is ridiculous, but unfortunately, my experiences weren't as great as I would have liked them to be. I definitely felt a bit of age discrimination (I'm 22) both times I've been there. I know most kids aren't going to have a ton of money on gear, but I spend nearly every spare dollar I have on bass gear, and to have such an awesome store so close , but not want to go there is really a shame.
You're welcome to move to TN any time. I'm only 23 so I know the feeling, so I make sure to treat all my customers the same.
