The Soundshop, Drogheeedah (1 Viewer)

[Scientician 0.8]

I was listening to LMFM the other day and there was an annoying ad, oft-repeated, saying that The Soundshop will match 99% of online prices for equipment. Has anyone tried them recently? Do any other Irish retailers match prices with thomann and the others?

not been there in years. they've moved to a new spot in an industrial estate i think. wouldn't mind checking it out.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Most places these days will at least get very close to web prices.

 

[Anthony]

they used to have 50% off days that were good.

You're right different shop.

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

still a great track.
EVH & Steve Lukather's guitars sound pretty fresh.
lol?

ye theyre pretty good for matching any thomann prices these days. a little brand loyal though e.g. PA equipment is mostly LEM and a lot of godin/simon&patrick guitars. much better selection since they moved though, not far off the first m1 exit if anyones down for a look. the website is www.soundshop.ie

Drogheda, dundalk, dungarven they're all the one.

drogheda = the romantic capital of the north east
dundalk = craptown!

There have been a lot of anti Dundalk sentiments knocking about around here and I'd like to put them to bed. Dundalk brought us The Corrs, Stephen Staunton, Maxi (who tried to burn down the FAI) and Director John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines, The Omen, Max Payne etc). We've been laughing at these charracters for quite some time now, they've enriched our lives. Also don't forget the Refused gig in The Sunshine Bar in '98. What's Drogheda got? A load of dull people who think it reasonable to commute 30 miles to Dublin for work and a mainstreet that you can't get a bus down.

Drogheda = shithole

As for BEAT IT, was there about 3 weeks ago. The vintage room is awesome, lots of early 60's fenders, 70's Marshall Heads and some great synths/organs. There were also 2 nice silver face Fander Twin Reverbs and some great deals on second hand drums.

how much were the twins do you know?
ive just bought one for a ridiculous price.

[Space]

Ok. I'll tell you what we paid then too.

I don't ask for prices on stuff I can't afford/don't need.
