I'm originally from St. Louis. That is an awesome shop, and the best place in the country to get guitarwork done as far as I'm concerned. I also really dig Eddie's Guitars, although that's more high-end stuff.

(Doombilly- given your sweet acoustic black widow, I would think the washburn falcons would be right up your alley). I bought a bass from Bruce Diamond a while back. He was very easy to deal with.

Man, I haven't seen a site that pretty since my first meeting with the internet in 1999.

Are you talking about the semi-hollow or the Pro Jet? The former, in my experience, sound and feel cheap. Also IIRC they retailed for like $500.

I sold my Les Paul Jr. clone.
Am now debating putting a GFS Dream 90 in the neck position of my Tele Custom, because I love that neck-position P-90 sound.

I've got fairly the opposite, but in a way that will not help anybody. It's Lemur music, which is a bass shop, but primarily for upright players. Don't buy anything there, and encourage nobody else to buy anything there. I bought an amp from them, because they're pretty much the place you buy from if you're an upright player and don't have a shop in your area. Well, it was obviously used and didn't work right. I sent it back to them and they sent me a new one, but I had to eat the shipping costs for the shitty one because I didn't make a big enough fuss over it.

May I suggest these guys if you're looking to do online bass business- http://www.thebassplace.com They are amazing, and know their stuff. Small shop, but with a pretty big selection. The best time to hit them up is right safter NAMM. They buy up a lot of the NAMM exhibit pieces and sell them pretty cheaply. I've dealt them with them quite a bit. I would think bass emporium would be good too; they get a lot of lip service- http://www.bassemporium.com/ I don't have any one on one experience, though.
