The GC guy said “but all the rock stars use black cables..”

hahaha, Last time I saw ‘….and you will know us by the trail of dead’ they were all using white curly cables, even between pedal boards and amps…there were all these white colis stretched out all over the stage, it looked pretty cool imo.

i didn’t know GC was that cheap hahahaha

i’ve only been there once when i was in manhattan and wanted to pick up a russian muff (since we don’t have ’em in europe) and even though they didn’t have one in stock, the guy knew all about them and pointed me in the direction of another smaller music shop nearby that might (and did) have one

/contrasting, happy GC story

:rawk:

What I figured out (and figured it did not hurt to ask) was to get in touch with another very large

(non GC and affiliates) online and real store in Indiana and its a sweet….. place

and they were willing to match and excede the GC 15% (and out of Indiana no tax and they ship free (anything unless it weighs a ton) SO rather than go in to a GC store and be insulted or taken advantage of (*the power supply issue) mine came with one from another store when I bought it) so when GC has the online coupons or catalog( physical or down load catalogs) with 10% off coupons on the back for the month or the 15% for the 4th of July call Sweet as GC and the rest of the affiliates as you see put a lot of exclusions on in store and online (often different exclusions as well) *good to see that E-H qualified and who really cares what color cables are (in a pedal board for example it helps to have different colors) I have Monster Cables (they are black ) and it was my final purchase at GC as they drove me bats while I was shopping there, I went there as I wanted to physically see the different cables I was buying (to get everything matched, TRS, Mono, Y cable and some short runs of cable)I love them and the sound change was incredible 9from using mismatched makes of cables but I hung on to them)now I only a great shop in Baton Rogue La. The Perfect Guitar & and The Perfect Bass (.com for online of each shop) its in one store but two web sites that you can toggle between
I have a good friend who works there and he managed a local Mom& Pop shop that was put out of business by GC (they moved in the new plaza 6 months after one of the family shops had relocated and that was that, a shame as they would help you out, match prices and +10% off , set up the guitar or bass with new strings of your choice and stand behind their products (and would never take a power supply out of product that should include one) SW is cool too, don’t get me wrong,they carry product lines that the other shop does not (at least now)

peace
