So everyone,
Once again, I found myself wandering the miles of music closets at the music arcade here in Seoul when low and behold....I see a 20th HH SR5! :eek:

"HUZZAH", I shouted as I entered the best EBMM dealer on the Korean Penninsula's closet.
This guy gets all the newest stuff, although it sits around for a long time before it moves, like the 30th Ann. SR4, or the buttercreams, guitars and bongos in the front window. :rolleyes:

So I stare for a while, amazed to see one in Korea. It looked smaller and lighter than any other SR5 I've seen, I surmised it was an illusion created by the non-contoured top and proceed to ask the old guy who ran the place if I could demo it. :D

"No", he said, angrily. As he looked up from his newspaper. :confused:

I had to laugh. I guess he doesn't frequent the forums much! And the name PocketGroove means little to nothing to him!
Although, I was must have been looking pretty silly wearing my giant euro sunglasses indoors, ultra tight pants and drinking a beer...Yeah, I like to pretend I'm an American rock star when I walk around metropolitan Seoul. SO WHAT!
Next time I walk into that guy's store, I'll be sure to have 2 million won in one hand, my platinum card in the other, and a hungry look on my face.
O well, I guess I'll have to wait 55 more days till I'm back in the states to play me a 20th Anni. SR5!

:cool:

Maybe your ultratight pants did something to your voice that he was uncomfortable with.

Take your missus with you next time and get her to wear a blonde wig (or red, either will work just fine in Korea). That'll keep the shop owner distracted enough for you to play every bass in the store.

Great Suggestions Everyone!

And yeah, I think visiting a store like this defiantly puts the Guitar Center woes into perspective. At least there you can pretty much play any bass you want!

Had a look at your Myspace page. I reckon you should use what looks like a Chapman Stick as a pretend cannon and scare him into submission! hehe
