If it was meant to be funny, it wasn't. I just found it derogatory to say that i don't know what i'm doing because the shop i work in also happens to sell coffee.

oxbow lake Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 The guys at r&b are fine including Ross. Helped me out loads. Especially picknupmon Martin great job. But can we conspire to break a few of their fingers coz if they keep showing off like that on the guitars I'm trying making me feel inadequate I Ain't never going back!!!

GraemeC Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I have used every music shop there has been in Aberdeen over the last 40+ years, and as far as R&B is concerned I wouldnt put an amp in there for repair ever again, over the years I have used them for this purpose on three occasions and each was a disaster. I have used BM's many times and cant remember there being a major problem, sometimes a repair took some time but they never left me stuck.I now dont use R&B at all even though I have never had any issues with staff or stuff I have purchased, but its easy to loose faith in a shop that lets you down and doesnt seem too bothered about it.G...

ChrisB Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I put my guitar to them a couple of years ago to get the volume pots replaced as they were getting increasingly scratchy. Had them replaced with stock Gibson pots but after trying them out realised that I wasn't getting any volume under 6 on the knob. Handy. Took them back and had them put another set of pots in and still the volume was zero under 6. Went back to the shop to complain again and was told that the problem was with my pickups...Ordered some CTS pots from RS Guitarworks... fitted them myself and I'm still using the guitar to this day.Pretty hesitant to have R&B look at my guitars now.

modman Posted November 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 .Pretty hesitant to have R&B look at my guitars now.That's because they purport to know what they're doing but clearly don't. They shouldn't undertake to provide a particular service if they're not qualified enough to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeC Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I have a 'probably' unfair theory about the poor guitar work at R&B... at one time they had the serrvices of one the finest repair men on the planet Alastair Watt, a few years ago Alsatair sadly died and I think they started letting the Saturday boy do their guitar work... just a theory.

ca_gere Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I'm guessing HateEvent works in R&B and reading through this thread I take my hat off to him for being very impartial and fair. It would be easy to come on here and argue. I'm sure he's kept a pretty close eye on the thread and probably wanted to wade in (as I would if folk were dissing where I worked) but I say fair play, he's let a dissatisfied customer express himself fully. For that, I haven't been put off going to R&B (only been there once mind you, to order a Roland power adaptor which I paid a 5 quid deposit for and never got a call to say it had come in... I just remembered)Sounds a bit duff seeing as the other guy fixed the problem in minutes so the OP's complaints are entirely valid. Eventhough the mingetickler thing is maybe a bit disrespectful (only because the rest of your posts have been very diplomatic), I hope you get a response and we all can learn from this.I just wanted to stick up for the guy who works there and doesn't have much to do with the debacle.
