Actually what shocks and surprises me is that there are bass playing
"producers" like yourself who know/care so little about music and so
much about ego that they are completely satisfied with the high
school level stuff flooding SA/GC. Great tone out of that Squire, eh?
Have you ever been to a real bass shop? I didn't think so.

Oh, wait! THAT explains everything!

Typical guitarist arrogance and need for control. When all that's
needed is to ignore the post, they feel compelled to come in and
show us all who is boss.

Just go check out the stock of 6-string sets for bass. Nice
...er..selection, no? I'm sure they can "order them for you".

Do they sell six string basses?

This store was loaded with kits in the same configuration I was
trying to buy heads for.

Law of averages. You wouldn't go to Wal-Mart for fine wine; you go there for
an $8 box (pronounced "bawx'a'wine" here) of hooch. Most people don't drop
big bucks on wine, so why stock it at Wal-Mart? By the same token, why would
you go to the Kmart of music stores and expect them to have that custom,
handmade ADM Jarrah mystery drum? ;-)

You have to realize the big box stores are deigned to be the
supermarkets/supercenters of music retail. They're not specialty shops. The
only time you'll really see kewl stuff in there is when you have guys like
Stu McConaghy at GC in New Haven, or some of the guys I worked with, who
really care about the upper line stuff and develop enough pull with
purchasing to get some freedom in stock.

Oh, and please stop cross-posting, guys. It's SPAM in the purest sense, and
it takes two seconds to delete the addresses to which you don't want to
send.

Actually they do. SA often has a decent selection with some
Ken Smiths and Yamaha 6's. Which makes it even weirder that
that the 6-string string set selection is so sparse.
But that is no different than not having heads for the
exact kits the store is loaded with.

But the real explanation has to do with judgement and
selection. If you go to a store that caters more to
working musicians rather than to newbies, you find that
often the size of the stock of heads/strings/etc.
is actually smaller than the chains. But the owners
(Typically being decent musicians themselves) exercise
some judgement as to which brands/sizes/styles are cool
and which ones are ones you'd buy once and never buy
again. They don't bother with the latter. So while
SA/GC may have a huge wall of strings or a mile of drumheads,
it doesn't mean much because like you with a sensible
need (a complete set of heads) they never thought
in those terms. They just think, gosh look at
all those brands and sizes we stock isn't that great!

10. "Upgrading the infrastructure? Sounds like a job for Halliburton!"

9. "We've got to do something ... Oh, wait. They're all blue states."

8. "If only we had more people with energy experience in this administration."

7. "So much for your appearance on The Daily Show, Ms. Clinton! MUHWWAHAHAHAHA!"

6. "The energy industry needs a tax cut!"

5. "Endangered arctic wildlife, allow me to introduce Mr. Backhoe."

4. "Whatever, I'm going jogging."

3. "I'm telling you, we can sell it, 'Bill Clinton's penis took out a
transformer.'"

2. "Should we cancel the fundraiser? HAHAHAHAHHAHA!"

And the number one administration reaction to the Great Bush Blackout of '03...

1. "Hello, you've reached the office of de facto president Dick Cheney. I'm on a

month."

Not the WHOLE rmmp, George.
SOME of us are savoring the moment to have
a bunch of guitarists telling US to "turn down"
for a change and for us to ignore them just
like they do us!

I've had enough fun. I'm outta here.

Yeah, but you were probably looking for 14" Coated Ambassadors. Why would
they stock those?

No wait. One last thing before I sign off the party line
here. I noticed that over in the bass group this thread
has been reformed to be cross-posted ONLY to a variety
of guitar/amp/bass groups. And therein is an on-going
discussion of the key issue of music chains/mom and pop
stores and other issues relating to shopping at big chains.

I find this interesting in that the guitarist requests
to be removed from the discussion started even before
the adolescent Schuh/Boom/me exchanges. One would think
that an issue like this for stores with departments cutting
across various instruments would a perfect topic for
wider discussion among groups. In my view cross-posting
is a GOOD thing if the topic is valid to all cross-posted
groups. But it seems in the guitar/bass crowd, a discussion
wider than just guitarists only means they include a few bass
players too. Drummers (and other non-musicians) not welcome!

Now I'm outta here.

Bye, pussy.

Well, it sure is nice to hear from the other groups. How y'all doin?
(it's rhetorical, but I do mean to say hello...don't wanna flood the ng now
with a gazillion hellos now do we!!!) Nice when you can take a nasty thread
and give yourself a chance to throw out a friendly hello to everyone!
Peace and all kinds of good stuff to everyone.
By the way, me and a buddy just ordered a whole bunch of stuff from GC
on-line (strings for classical, acoustic, & acoustic/electric bass), and a
hardshell, really cool lookin' Fender case for a BG29 Acoustic Bass) and it
went down smooth as a vanilla milkshake. Bait and switch? Well, heck now,
that's pretty standard fare for any retail outlet store, may it be
electronics, furniture, or whatever. Not always, but jeez, you're all (some
of you anyways) are talkin' like you never been shopping before...
Now, the on-line experience was inexpensive, free shipping over $199
orders and no worries, no hassles, no waiting, no b.s. and it's at my door
in 3 business days or less, so maybe that's how y'all should do it? ...
then again, I usually know exactly what I want (typical of guys,
in/out...see ya...gotta love that) I call that "visiting the
prostitu...uh...ok...too much info there....movin' on...(disclaimer...I do
not visit professional sex engineers...it was a joke...I'm really too good
lookin' for that anyways...no really...okay okay...I kid I kid...the old
Rodney Dangerfield joke comes to mind...heh, I was so ugly, when I was first
born, they slapped my mother and not me)...btw...how'd you like that sex
engineer thing...nice huh?
Now ... back on topic...can they (GC, I figure you mighta forgot what I
was talkin' about) set me up with a high end classical guitar?...well, of
course not, (they think they can, but they can't) and I don't go there for
that, but I knew that before I said, "hmmm, I needs me to spend $6 g's on a
geetar...best be gettin' in my car and gets my ass over to Guitar Center and
gets me one"....Hell, I got friends in the business that I trust, eBay (if
you like rollin' dice), and oh, I don't know, about ten or a freakin'
hundred top guitar makers that I can contact direct and pick one out, so
what're we talkin' about here? You use 'em (GC) for what you need and see
ya! (no offense to mom & pop stores...I really wish it could be different,
but it isn't and we need to deal with it)...

....and no, I'm not in any way affiliated with GC, Sam Ash, or any other
music store...I just tell it like it is (that reads "the way I see it",
which ain't necessarily the way it is, if you get my meaning)...no, really,
ask anyone! Have fun and be cool. hope you enjoyed...and feel bad
for the peoples on rmcg...they have to deal with me
constantly...hehehe...hee
