Blackwood Guitars (2nd Ebenex outlet) at Bras Basah!

Went there on Monday, gawd... so boutique. Its like walking into the Gucci/Prada of music shops. Very very sleek..
 
i dont know whether is it just me, but i walked past the shop again just now and thought that the shop was very 'boutique' like and new. so much so that i m kinda detered to enter it. the feeling is similar to entering a high end fashion outlet like banana republic, whereby you sometimes feel intimidated and inferior becoz half the thinggies there you cannot afford.

but i guess, after some time, more pple will visit there and make it more homely and friendly.
 
well kym i think you should know that David and the others are a awesome bunch of dudes that would win you over the moment you decide to take the step inside, even if you just wanna browse and try. I think it beats entering some shops that would rather snub you with a certain attitude since they know they have brand monopoly.
 
=kym

don't worry , ebenex and blackwood staff are the best people alive . they dont bite
 
I was there today at about 730. Never played a Eternity before. Played one. Absolutely blown away. At least for me and for what I look for in overdrive pedals, it might actually be worth the $435.

I'm wondering though, if a slightly more neutral amp could be used, rather than a Vox. It's pretty nice, but not all pedals gel with it.
 
anyone who walks in will walk out with a whole new strain of GAS.. then again, different shit, same smell.

i splashed $360 on a t.c. electronic vintage bass distortion ;p

would also like to commend Blackwood for having a nice little room to test products. thanks a many folks.

me and my frens checked it out yesterday. nice sleek place..

Yeah ive seen it.
i reconizged that philipino dude.
haha.

one thing i like abt ppl at ebenex n stuff they will let u try stuff and they wont give u an angry face if u dont buy thier products.
haha.
 
OMG. MESA AMPS?!?!? Shit.
I was there earlier on... And all i can is... BLOODY SICK! Super GAS inducing :(
And i like the idea of the 2 individual rooms to test your pedals/guitar. Allows the player to listen to the tone of whatever they're testing and much more privacy.
VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY HOT SILVERBURSTS.
 
=screwlooose

yea man its happening la. i love the way David does business, its so friendly yet cordial and professional. Hopefully some people can take a hint from the way he does things, it may actually improve their sales :D

I cant wait to get my ibanez s5470 :lol:
 
Freaking GAS! That microstack!! If I were to buy something like that, how am I gonna bring it back home? Is there any delivery service?

I think they do have delivery services. Got to check with them..

And the place is heaven. Just a bit squeezy because of all those huge amps in the center of the place =\
 
=Ized

haha yea, the point is that even when the potential buyer ends up not buying the product, he'll probably return a few more times after. and in that few more times, with all the stacking GAS and pressure... SURE BUY WAN LA! hahaha
