Yesterday I decided that for once in a while I could get out of work when the sun was still not set.
It so happens that I have found that there is a bass-only specialized shop not so far from the office (very dangerous discovery…)
So instead of going straight back home, I “casually” strolled to see how it was. Risks are mounting …
Once there, full 30’ before closing time, there were no basses to be seen, all closed down. I called them on the phone to ask if I had got an old address and they had moved somewhere else. It turns out that they had closed earlier, due to having some shipments with couriers to arrange. If I had a pressing need they could turn back and let me in…
We chatted a bit about some brands they carry, if they have used gear and such, but I took it as a sign of “better play what I have than waste money on gear for which I don’t have any use”
So, huge GAS risk avoided thanks to the couriers!
