Bamp

Why haven't you grown up yet?

>>729458750
No idea, just haven't

>>729458582
fuck you. guitar center is the taco bell of music stores. you guys fucking suck.

Describe the hottest girl that came into your shop. Who was she with?

>>729458863
I like to think of it as the wal mart of music stores

>>729458884
The sorority girls come in to buy ukuleles, other than then it's mostly hippy chicks they look decent but smell bad

>>729459056
Accurate

>>729458582
Howm much do you get payed? Also what state

>>729459056
that's an even better comparison.

>>729458863
But really it all depends on the guitar center you go to, each one is different, smaller stores typically treat you better, LA stores everyone is up their own ass.

>>729459295
ive lived in a small city with one, and i could not stand it. i'm sure it's much worse in places like LA or detroit.

>>729459283
The pay is shitty and the commission is worse, it's usually minimum wage with small yearly increases. The commission can either be really good for the top riders or really shitty for everyone else. Work with leads because they aren't commissioned and can usually take a few bucks off its slow

>>729459295
>L.A.
Everyone is like that over there

so anyway what kinda music do you play OP, what are your instruments of choice?

>>729459519
Very true

>>729459548
Drums is my main instrument, but I play guitar too. I've played in a few bands mostly punk.

>>729459752
Age?

>>729458582


would you suck a massive steamer from Andy Sixx's anus?

>>729459809
24

>>729459854
Depends on the sale

>>729458582
Is there any way I can go to Guitar Center without being blindsided with warranties all the goddamn time. I'm surprised they aren't offering that shit when I buy a pack of guitar strings or amp cords

>>729459752
who's your favorite drummer? my 2 favs are tim alexander and ray barretto.

>>729460107
Ha yeah, pro coverage is cool for cymbals, and cheap shit. The 5 year plans are worth it for high end stuff because it covers refretts

>>729459283
>>729459056
>>729458863
>>729460107
The gamestop of music stores

>>729460203
Tim Alexander had been my favorite since I was a kid, I lounge Danny Carey too but I'm not a big tool fan

>>729460304
That works as well

dont you love the little kids who come in and beat the fuck out of the drums and have no idea what they're doing.

>>729458582
wtf is a guitar centre shift lead?

>>729460745
This

>>729460738
Not so much, never by floor model cymbals unless they add the coverage for free or cheap

>>729460363
it was nice haering him play again on the chocolate factory album.

>>729460745
It's a manager that doesn't get paid what a manager does

Do you get tired of hearing guys come in all day to test out guitars and basically wanking it?

Also, who is more annoying to listen day-in and day-out: the metal players or the blues players that come into the store?

Do you work with a bunch of fags like the one where I live? Is it a requirement to suck dick to work there?

>>729458582
Post her tits levi

>>729461092
Equally annoying ha, it's cool to test shit out, but keep it at a reasonable volume

>>729458582
knobs
why does my guitar vol knobs and pickup switch put out a scrachy noise whenever i use them ?

>>729461113
I like everyone that works with me now, but there used to be annoying people, mostly in pro audio, wanna be djs

>>729461262
Hit them with some deoxy

Levi

>>729461128
I'm not Levi

>>729461446
did it with half a can... still scratchy

>>729462404
Huh, let me walk you over to my guitar tech cuz im retarded.

I used to own a music store. It was a family business. Had to close up because of places like guitar center selling stuff for less than cost i.e.: "Loss leaders" but the real crime is that those places push manufacturers to make stuff cheaper and cheaper until quality sucks.

>>729462527
How much do the guitar tech's get payed?

>>729463204
I'd bring it in, have a tech look at it, won't cost you anything unless you have them work on it

>>729463221
I don't know exactly, I think it's approx. $15/hr

How much did I get overcharged for my Casio Privia PX-350MBK?
