" oh i love paul reeds, i got my first one 10 years ago, and have had 10 since" .........queer...........
anywho.. that being said, come buy stuff from me, ill be sure to sell you the most expensive thing that you cant afford...hey gotta pay for that porsche somehow...
I will say this. I've talked to you and you seem to know your stuff. Some of the rest of the staff are complete idiots. The first few times I asked about Mark Bass, I got blank stares and Idunnos from everybody - this was at least 6 months after Mark Bass announced that GC was going to be their exclusive US dealer (not sure for how long, but for now), and after there had been reviews in every bass magazine in the US and UK, so anybody in the bass department should (IMHO) already have been quite familiar with the product line. You actually knew what I was talking about and were honest enough to say that your store wouldn't be carrying them in-house, but you could order it for me from any other store at the same price.
I do wish you would carry it in-house so that I could try it out first - also, I think people around here would buy a boatload of that stuff, since it's a lot cheaper than ampeg, weighs about 7 pounds and sounds better than anything ampeg, GK, Hartke, or SWR ever made. Also, the trade-in price I was quoted for trading my rig towards the Little Mark was pretty poor or I probably would have already bought one.
