Rob Karloff Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Thank you !Nor can we stock ESP/LTD coz R&B are the stockist in the North East of Scotland Bugger. My next intended musical purchase is a brand spanking ESP Viper, and there is no way I'm giving my cash to R&B due to past debachles.Sounding good though Shauney!

Rob Karloff Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Personally I'm pretty much done with buying new stuff from R&B....an amp that was broken when I bought and has been repaired to death (DSL100!!)I've had the same with my DSL50 I bought from them. It has eaten 3 output transformers in the past 4 years, the last 2 replaced by Marshall free of charge after some severe ranting and raving from me. I now have a 2203 that I've modded for more gain which I use as my primary amp, and carry the DSL only in case of emergency. The 2203 also has much better tone, as you folks who buy our new "Self Made Monsters" mini-album on Friday 13th will testify... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 R+B sold me a keyboard which doesnt work outputting to my 4 track which is what I specifically asked for! Shaun, good luck with the shop, sounds good. Its a shame that R+B seem to have a monopoly on certain products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acoustically_content Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 cablesYou guys should make your own guitar leads to order. You can get Neutrik connectors and 100m of shielded top quality instrument cable for well under a hundred quid from Van Damme connections. The BBC use these guys for supplies. They stock absolutely bloody everything and will make to order as well. check out their brochure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acoustically_content Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 mixers, pas and lights.Would it not be true in saying that a performance is dependant on the atmosphere and signal quality from instrument to listener. You guys should maybe have look at A.C Lightings website and also check out D& B speakers (specifially E9's ) and the new midas range of mixing desks (The warehouse in edinburgh could give you details for suppliers.)They are all affordable for customers and beat half the shit bands have to put up with in venues.Also Le Maitre effects machines ( haze, smoke, ooooo bubbles!)They are all top notch. the shite ( peavey, celestion, behringer,etc ) that bruce millers and R&B try to flog is not worth the money that most people part with.You should definetly check out PLASA website.

Skamikazee Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 I went into the shop the other day and it looks like it's going to be really good. Also, while I was in there I noticed one of the staff working on a custom painted guitar at the back of the bottom floor and this reminded me, it would be very cool if you guys got in touch with a guy who can do custom paintjobs on guitars (if there is one in the area) so customers can easily go through you for paint work (of course you would have to make a profit so like add your own small charge to the painters charge).Just an idea (oh and please stock some nice old Tele's, that would be awesome) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
