    How to effectively deal with Guitar Center

    So, I finally cracked the code on how to get what you want from Guitar Center, and wanted to share it with bass friends. I know a lot of us have been experiencing frustration with them, myself included. For example, about a month ago, I purchased a new item that said "in stock - ready to ship"...

    Double Bass Kudos to Guitar Center

    Yeah, I thought that would get your attention. GC seems to get a lot of dissing here, BUT I was recently thrilled to find a really good deal on a used GK 210 at GC (for $300). I picked it up a little over a month ago and have been using it on my upright gigs (really) for which it did a...

    Guitar Center fail - but with a twist

    A couple weeks ago I went to a local Guitar Center, headed to the bass section and plugged into the Markbass Ninja 122 that I was interested. Barely got two notes out and was asked to stop playing. But - it wasn't by an employee. Someone was videoing their sister trying to play a scale on a...

    Did my Guitar Center store just ship a bass to themselves?

    So yesterday, I noticed that the Sterling SUB SB4 was on sale for $179. The sale was going to end that day. Went into the store and tried it out, liked it, but went shopping around for other basses and didn't pull the trigger. It was brand new, fresh out the box. Bought it online at 11:59pm...

    What is the rationale for DC power adapter connections to be Center Negative?

    The obvious choice would seem to be that the larger exposed outer surface of the plug, when unplugged, would be negative (ground) as in most other applications , rather than being the hot side. The idea being to minimize an inadvertent short between the high side and ground.
