    Guitar Center expands to serve Oahu ...which means what?

    reports of GC's demise are premature? I'm not sure how this hangs in the balance of things but it'll be interesting to see what they put behind this move, will it be a mega store to capture the fledgling guitar market here or go small to test the actual market and either enlarge or hit the road...

    Vintage 1879 P bass at Guitar Center

    You think you know it all about Fender basses? If you're talking "vintage", nothing can beat the elusive 1879 Fender P Bass. This is the "missing link". Lol. Not sure what kind of amp or contraption they played that through in 1879. Hurry, get it while you can. It's apparently a one of a kind...

    So anyway, I've been looking for a duplicate 2 X 10 cabinet to complete my setup. Lo and behold, I found the one I'm after on the Guitar Center website used listings, and placed my order online for shipment from the store in California that had it to the GC closest to me. It was listed as a 1...

    Guitar Center in trouble?

    According to this article, they're at risk of bankruptcy. Guitar Center Faces Imminent Bankruptcy After 59 Years In Business Edit: I realize it's been talked about for so long now but it looks like this is the year they'll have to do it.

    Guitar center oops

    https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/Warwick/Thumb-7-String-Bolt-On-Fretless-Electric-Bass-Guitar.gc Not only did they get the listing wrong but they also (probably given the listing price) paid too much on trade in.

    GK MB112 / Guitar Center Saga.

    I decided to trade my Rumble 40 for a GK MB112-II. Went to my local GC to do the deal. They offered $70 for the rumble. I said I was hoping for $100 They said yes. My theory was that the $42 I'd save on the new amp would offset the loss I took by selling my Rumble for $40 less than market...

    Guitar Center Selling Questionable Used Fender

    I'm pretty sure this is not a Geddy Lee Signature Bass. I couldn't say whether GC knew it was buying a fake (or at the very least, a hybrid parts bass), but don't they have an ethical obligation to disclose its non-authenticity?

    Kudos to Guitar Center, Las Vegas

    I ordered, through my local GC, an EBMM StingRay Classic. A couple of hours later, a rep from Las Vegas GC calls to inform me the bass was damaged by a customer a couple of days ago. He did an in-hand description of the damage and gave me the option to cancel the order. They knocked a few bucks...

    Source of obscure pots for basses? (20k, center detent, PCB mount)

    Hey folks! I recently got my hands on an Ibanez Proline 5050, which unfortunately has had two pots replaced. One of those being the bass EQ pot. Unfortunately what's in there has no center detent, and turns very easily. This of course annoys me to no end. To add insult to injury, the shaft of...

    NBD: My first Stingray! Guitar Center clearance.

    Walked into GC to get strings. Left with this. $1199 plus tax out the door. I’ve been a Fender guy my whole life. Do you think it’s worth keeping for the price? Or could I have done better buying used?

    Guitar Center set up (Fender content)

    I stopped at a Guitar Center on my way home after work last night to check out the new Fender basses. I'm so disappointed.... All the basses had too much neck relief. With the strings pressed down on the first and last fret there was enough space to fit my car keys in the relief. The saddles...

    Guitar center messed up my used order

    So I got a pretty decent deal on a used bass at Guitar Center. Unfortunately, the person who packed it didn't do such a good job and it got damaged in shipment. The website said it had a case, but instead of shipping it in the case the person just packed it in a cardboard box with some bubble...

    Guitar center is going under!

    I guess they are in major debt and likely won't survive the next year, though apparently they plan to leave a Hollywood and 1 other of their best stores open. All the other stores will be selling off their stock. Can't say I am too sad to see them go, maybe now we will see more local music...

    Bass signal decreases significantly after center detent on bass pot...?

    I have an Ibanez SR505 bass and the Bass pot is a B100k pot with a center detent/midpoint. For some reason, the whole signal, overall volume, lowers significantly after the detent/midpoint turning clockwise. Anyone know what could be causing that? It didn't always do that. Not sure if the pot...
