I hear ya Spartacus. Maybe I was being generous when I said they had knowledgeable staff - they do have some knowledgeable satff, because I spoke to a couple - but many music stores have a lotta wanna bees working the floor ... I hate to be unkind, but it seems to be generally true. Too many folks who know a "hot lick" or two, a few chords and lotta music business lingo want to work the music stores.

I guess I'm just used to sorting through those folks quickly, finding the ones I like and talking only them! LOL
