    You may notice Long and Mcquade on one of the story boards but I do not talk about them. The logo was put there on mistake and was supposed to be on another board. I didn't notice it on there until it was uploaded. I have blurred it to fix the issue. Should be updated soon

      @@jsewellgplus Long and McQuade. Great Return policy, including "no lemons". I laugh when people sell gear they just bought. At L&M, just return it.
      I've extended the warranty on a used Ibanez Prestige for 6 years, for $17 and get a Free Setup once a year. Twice a string change made the bridge tremolo system go out of whack. Bring it in, get it back playing perfect in a day or two

      @@HeviNova I know in Alberta, they have Axe Music which has pretty decent prices. Tom Lee however, I think is only in BC. L&M basically swallowed up a lot of the independant guitar shops around, so unless you want to go to a pawn shop, they're more or less the only game in town.

    • @BruceCook87
      @BruceCook87 5 лет назад

      I think an outside look at Long and McQuade would be interesting. The Long family still owns L&M and, unlike US retailers, owns their largest distributor Yorkville - Yorkville is like Canadian Peavey. They own a bunch of offshore brands like ART Electronics, Apex Microphones AND they manufacture stuff in Canada like Traynor amps. They also make all the speaker equipment for IMAX theatres worldwide. They distribute about 1/3 of everything that L&M sells (Gibson, Hughes and Kettner, Universal Audio, Line 6, KRK)... Anti-trust laws would prevent a relationship like this in the USA but in Canada it’s all fair game.

    • @zaphod888
      @zaphod888 5 лет назад +2

      I don’t really know either company - but it reminds me of something that happened where I am (Durham, NC) recently: Kroger (the grocery chain) closed all their Triangle (Durham/Raleigh/Chapel Hill) stores about a year ago. Something like 15 stores, all closed. However, most of them are soon to reopen as Harris Teeter stores (which are also owned by Kroger). See, this area has been steadily gentrifying over the last two decades: Kroger is more profitable in less affluent places (it’s cheaper, but also not quite so ‘nice’), while HT is more profitable in more affluent areas where people can afford to pay more to shop in a physically nicer store. The Krogers weren’t doing bad business, but the company figured that in the long run it’ll be better to have more of the upmarket stores, and abandon the gradually-shrinking downmarket business in this area.
      Could be something similar? It sounds like Music and Arts is upmarket of GC, so maybe they just thought they could get away with the more expensive store and make more money?

    Phil can you do a video about the changes that Park amps seem to have undergone. I had a park amp in the 90’s, wasn’t it Marshall’s practice amp brand then? Now I see one in Tim Pierces home studio, I google it and apparently now they are super-high end stuff! Am I getting this right? Would love to hear what you know.
