I went to Guitar Center for the first time

[@floofthebassplayer]

You know, it's very refreshing to see somebody who goes to a GC and gets to see it for the first time where I as I work at one and mine is mid as fuck lmao. Wish mine stocked more stuff like this but oh well, they pay me. Glad you had fun Jonny.

[@JonnyDibble]

@@floofthebassplayer I got lucky with the San Fran branch by the sounds of it!

[@floofthebassplayer]

@@JonnyDibble Hell yea, brotha! Glad that it was a good experience.

[@judecarpenter2990]

I actually love the Hagstrom Viking. The output gets higher when I learn the impedance switch. It's so unique. Coolest looking pickups too

[@jehogue7907]

I would love a review of the new schecter c4 standard. That charcoal finish looks awesome! Guitar center has such a cool inventory sadly there are no store in Canada :((

[@TomFrichek]

"Hello. I'm a famous KZbinr and I'd like to try some basses." "The knobs perv?" "Yeah...I'll just go."

[@JonnyDibble]

They had to close the Center out of concern

[@poikusa0207]

this is an impressive selection for a guitar center, typically its all low end beginner stuff.

[@JonnyDibble]

@@poikusa0207 I had no idea what to expect tbh!

[@Blakeadam52]

that depends entirely on what one youre at, hollywood has an insane bunch of stuff, where as my hometown and the smaller cities nearby are much more limited

[@sleepless2621]

every guitar center caters to the clients and audience they historically have had previously. its all based on data im pretty sure

[@mrextremophile]

That beeping made me think I’d left the fridge open. Great vid. Happy holidays.

[@JonnyDibble]

😂 Thanks pal

[@derPaul76]

Funny thing; was at the guitar store this week and also tried the Jackson and Ibanez - 😂 great to See you had fun!

[@JonnyDibble]

@@derPaul76 haha no way!

[@zachjones1716]

I also tried a Hagstrom at GC recently. It was a black one tho. Very fun, and it doesn't feel as delicate as a cheapy hofner

[@mchehabcd4512]

really recommend you review the new “Squier Limited Edition Classic Vibe 60s Mid-60s Jazz Bass Guitar, Laurel FB, Olympic White”

[@honeybadger1810]

I havent seen any basses of note in a guitar center in years, Id love to find a stingray there

[@ryanwarsh]

My local GC usually has a handful of Ernie Ball Stingrays on display, as well as Sterling. Other than that, it’s Fender and Squier city 😂😂😂

[@Metalbass1979]

That figures, you visit the U.S. after I moved out of it. I would've loved to hang out with you in GC.

[@JonnyDibble]

Typical!

[@surreal360]

Did you try the Schecter? Just got the same one myself and I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.

[@Blakeadam52]

I bought that same Music man from GC hollywood and MY GOD, its a monster. unbelievable looking and plays unlike anything ive ever gotten my hands on at any store ive ever been to.

[@JonnyDibble]

It was a beauty! LOVE that finish

[@brutalbasspro]

My local GC has only beginner gear for bass. Those $300 amp and bass kits from squier and ibanez and nothing over $500 on the bass wall. Small practice amps cables that are only 10 foot no nice straps and pedal wall is just boss and behringer.

[@JonnyDibble]

I’m shocked

[@southpawswade]

Next go to a guitar center in like Tallahassee Florida lol

[@JonnyDibble]

Should I be scared?

[@southpawswade]

@@JonnyDibble lolol no you’ll just be like “where’s the stuff?”

[@robertkerr9738]

Looks like you found one of the good Guitar Centers. Most are full of junk.

[@JonnyDibble]

So I’m hearing!?

[@sinakaedwards2009]

The Mustang being heavy surprises me.

[@JonnyDibble]

@@sinakaedwards2009 surprised me too!

[@sinakaedwards2009]

@@JonnyDibble About the Gibson EB what would you say it is most like out of common basses?

[@scottyboy11001]

You are a real "Bass Pro"... see what I did there? 🤣

[@koreyfreemanofficial]

Ok calm down dad

[@JonnyDibble]

🤭🤭🤭

[@ChrisJohnsonChannel]

Most of the basses there are Mid level I don’t even think they carry Rickenbackers just your standard fender/ Ibanez and what not.

[@JonnyDibble]

@@ChrisJohnsonChannel The Stingray was about $3000, but yeah nothing more than that from what I could see

[@brutalbasspro]

My local guitar center has nothing but absolute beginner stuff. The box kits with a cheap squier or ibanez and amp, small practice amps. Literally the nicest thing on the wall is a player series p bass not even player 2. On top of that nobody talks to you when you go in there.

[@ChrisJohnsonChannel]

@@bradleyboots687 oh man my nearest GC is 60 miles away and no Ricks but I haven’t been in a while lol or I didn’t notice lol but it’s hard not to notice a Rick 🤘

[@bradanderson9751]

My main issue with GC is how rude the employees are. I respond by being rude back, but that's not the guitar shopping experience I'm looking for.

[@fishthatusedtobeabird]

wish i could even go to america

[@ChrisJohnsonChannel]

Guitar Center! Sam Ash is kinda the same.. Bro I would love to visit Andertons at Gildord , UK take some tea with The Captain

[@NOTshaneplaysbass]

sam ash is no more!

[@JonnyDibble]

@@ChrisJohnsonChannel Anderton’s is actually quite small! I haven’t been for a few years though

[@ChrisJohnsonChannel]

@@NOTshaneplaysbass I know.. sad.. I went to one in Hollywood,Ca along time ago

[@mr_ozzio5095]

That Gibson looks nice, shame it's a naughty dog and doesn't play nice... "Smoke on the water" and "Smells like teen spirit", are the only songs your aloud to play in any large guitar shop...😉

[@JonnyDibble]

@@mr_ozzio5095 I have failed the bass gods

[@klaymeister]

Grab me that Schecter Model T

[@JonnyDibble]

@@klaymeister she be pretty

[@bigoldnoob]

DARKtolini/TURDtolini? Seriously? I upgraded the stock BH2s in my EHB to (also DARKtolini, 'cause I don't learn) P452J quad coils and it was the same DEAD crap, as every other DARKtolini I ever played (which systematically ruin every bass I've played/owned with them). Ended up putting alnico Wilkinsons on mine, pending 3D printing some covers for them to look better. They simply blow any DARKtolini I've played/owned out of the water (or should I say, out of the INDISTINCT MUD). From now on DARKtolini is going in the blacklist for me, where they'll make DEADlano company BTW. Sorry to all the (deaf) fanboys.

[@JonnyDibble]

@@bigoldnoob Nords > Barts

[@bigoldnoob]

@@JonnyDibble all life long 👍I swapped for more Barts in my EHB because it was the only thing I could get that wouldn't take 8 months (that P4 pickup size in the 5 string EHBs is only made to order by the few that can do it). BestBassGear had a set in stock and I went with it. Spent almost 500€ (delivered to Spain + customs). They're already for sale, hope I get half of that 😞 The Wilkinsons are GREAT, and I don't have hum problems. Really reluctant to keep trying bass humbuckers, other than Leo's (who also got how to make bass humbuckers that don't sound dead first time), I own several Musicmen and P basses. The original BH2s in my Ibanez are probably going to a fretless DIY rat rod bass I have, many people mention Barts are great for fretless.
