Dial Down The Center

Chalk up another point toward living where I currently do: a Guitar Center is a scant five minutes away. Man, I love this store. About the only prior dealing I've had with Guitar Center was on Tour last year, when my bass was in sore need of some adjustments. We had some free time in Fredericksburg, so I stopped at the one in Central Park. They did all the necessary work free-of-charge, which instantly won them cool points with me. That was also the store where I was playing "Fantastic Voyage" on a pretty awesome Warwick and one of the employees started rapping Coolio as he walked into the storage room.

But I digress.

I'm actually surprised it took me this long to actually go to the Center, but last week I waltzed in to do a little research on digital recording units. Hopefully, my research will lead to a good deal on said recording unit, but in the meantime, I was again impressed by the easygoing attitude and knowledge of the employees there. And it also doesn't hurt that there are dozens of gorgeous guitars and basses there that I can try out. Like Rocket Music before in Blacksburg, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful partnership.
