X-Music - new Irish music superstore & Thomann-esque website (2 Viewers)

[Break Neck Speed]

I was there last week. Drum room was best room there. Good selection but the drum booths for trying out stuff in were like halls with no acoustic treatment. It hurt my ears just to tap a snare & was impossible to gauge the actual sound of the stuff you were playing. I was dissapointed by the amp selection. No orange or ampeg. Synth room was good.

Maybe the guitar rooms are dead but no waaaaaaaaay are the drum rooms. At least there are rooms though i guess but kinda defeats the purpose imo.

I've a feeling that's more due to Walton's having the "authorized dealer" rights for Ampeg rather than a deliberate choice on XMusic's part.

If you're not a fan of Trace Elliott bass amps, and I'm not, XMusic isn't the place for you.

myself an dudley just took a spin out there. fairly posh alright. some lovely amps in the amp room and some interesting pedals about too. we figured the strings were late 90s dublin prices, which is great. guitar room's a but meh, nothing very interesting other then some nice gretches. nice to know you can go buy valves on a sunday afternoon though!

promising.

They didn't have those little plastic guitar strap clips when I went yesterday. Be warned!

I was ogling the Gretches.

It's annoying that on a whole big wall of Fenders, they only have one non-Strat/Tele.

 

[shower another shower]

Our guitarist had a splurge there last week & bought a Gibson Firebird.

Very nice guitar.


They'd gotten a lot more pedals in too, which was nice.

Anyone know if X-Music is open this Sunday or Monday?
Says nothing on the site & no one answered the phone
when i rang today. Cheers.

to be honest, these dudes are really fucking up at this stage. one lad was saying he was out there today sitting in his car thinking theyd open and about 40 people came and went just to see it was closed. said there was a load of people who had come up from the country and stuff.
and still no full website. cmon lads. get it together.

open tomorrow 1 till 5 i understand.

Also here's a gas Music Maker quoting 420 for an sp404 sampler and a chap in the uk quoting 260 plus shipping

Hiya man

Sorry about that. To be honest all the phones go to the floor, so if the lads are with a customer they won't be able to answer them.

Your better off emailing us.

As for the site - it's pretty much done, just waiting for our stock to rise again after Chrimbo.

Appreciate your response!

but FYI pressing two for 'hi tech' was cutting me off straight away, got through to the 'guitars' chap was sympathectic but before I could ask him if he could source a price he patched me thru to 'hi tech'....

which cut me off straight away...

I appreciate that people will be busy, but given your location and lack of website from where I'm sitting the phones are the best way of getting a price a.s.a.p.

Yep we were closed the 27th. We needed the break

Regards the site, as I said not much point in launching a site if were still waiting for our stock levels to rise.

As for the phones not answering in HiTech. Weird one ......I'll check that out now.

You should try phoning the Pantone247 hotline, you NEVER get a response
