Reverb...gone?

[Ian Price]

Got a letter from insolvency agents this morning. So that's it gone.

That sucks. Fingers crossed that everything works itself out for you.

[Matt77]

That's a tough one.
Hope you get something sorted soon

Sorry to hear that. And angry to hear that because it's unlikely to come as a shock to the company, directors can always see months in advance when their company is failing and they almost never bother to warn their staff that they're in financial difficulty. Letting pay cheques bounce is disgraceful.

I'd be surprised if the director's pay cheque bounced.

haha not surprising. they've not been stocking decent stock for a while now, who wants to go in to a store and and look at a wall of cheap squier strats or at the other extreme loads of 2 grand PRS guitars. What a failure, people, evcen beginners know what they want in more depth through internet research.

the leicester reverb closed even before xmas I think which is a shame cos there was one guy there called will who's worked there since it was carlsboro->academy of sound-> soundcontrol-> reverb. He was a good lad and has unfortunately lost his job thanks to shitee management and supply.

Im a bit gutted about musicground in manchester going.   I always theought it well overpriced but it did use to have some lefties in and not just your usual epi les paul and mex strat or mex tele token lefty selection.      Musicground  used to be my usual stop for plectrums and a quick look round the odd lunchtime.   I just seemed to perfer to give them a few pound on plectrums than Jonny Roadhouse over the other side of the road.

It wasn't exactly a shop full of dreams when I went there the other week. Obviously good stock wasn't being bought in.

Shame - I've bought some stuff from their staff, when they worked round the corner at what used to be A1 then various other places. It's not the first time for the staff

A1 Music, that was the place ... although I remember it in the early 1980s when the shop front was onm Oxford Road and you had to squeeze past the counter and go downstairs to the mouldy dungeon full of manky old guitars, those were the days.

I used to head across from Liverpool at the time.
When I wanted a change from Hessy's!
