Sorry about the shaky, grainy video quality in this one. I was using a Go-Pro type action cam knockoff that just wasn't great and had no manual focus. Future videos like this will be better quality.
on the peavy series ment left and right channel another way of saying mono nucleus osis flipady dosis or stereo love the show even wen we disagree cause i see your side good for learning im going back to school at 42 forest gump was a 72 its a little different but my memory rated in at a compr mood and comprehension level of 42 and im dyslexic so took me 4 hours to write this just kidding but i am back in school your show is what i watch to calm down
27:38 that Fender is my dream guitar. 😍
15:46 Oh my LORD you've found my old GBX AMP!!!! That is a very unique (these days) guitar amp made in Canada. I believe "Gar" (as we called him back then) of Garnet from and of Garnet amps and equipment out of Winnipeg was involved with GBX when it first started in the late 1960's then he broke off and made the Garnet lines of gear. The amp you are looking at isn't complete. You can see the Velcro strips on top (Just like mine had) which were put there to hold the pre amp control unit that sat on top of it originally. The Control until had raised sides just like the speaker/Amp bottom has but was non powered and had simple controls of volume, Bass maybe Middle and Treble and if remember right (which I might not LOL) it had Tremolo controls too but I could be mixing that up with something else. It had a blue Metal face on it like the blue metal plate on the back of the AMP/Speaker. I got the GBX when I was just 13 years old (I'm 53 now) so in 1979. I went to the local music store in where I lived, Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada trying to get an amp big enough to play with a set of drums as I only had a little SEARS practice amp with a 10" speaker. I also had a Yamaha Trombone and case and I wanted to trade the Trombone for an amp. The owner had a soft spot for us local kids trying to make a band (I almost lived in his store as a youth if I could have I would have LOL) so he showed me the big old amp and I was in love!! The speakers had Metal centers in the cones with a little screened over 1/2 inch hole in the CENTER of them. The amp had no over drive or distortion but once I turned it up past half way it was like heaven descended down to earth. That creamy overdrive sound is something I;m still chasing to this day. Or maybe I was just young and thought it was that great of a sound as it was so loud and I would have loved any distorted type sound at the time LOL. I'd just LOVE to hear the amp one more time to see if it really was as great as I remembered. I ended up trading it off for something else and now I believe it may just be the very bottom you see here in this video. No way of actually knowing. But those Velcro strips tell me it just might be. Thanks for the great videos! I'm subbed and binge watching LOL.
Sounds like a Shaggs cover band is playing the entire time.
I had to make a comment about all these people playing in the background and getting louder and louder as the video progresses. Everybody wants to be famous lol
When I worked in a bike shop in the eighties, my boss had us take all bikes and put them in first gear at the end of the day. I asked him why once and he said I want the customer to feel that this bike is effortless to ride and give them a great feeling when they take off. I often thought, guitar shops should go through and tune guitars in the down time....40 per cent of the riffing folks in this video were out of tune and then probably would pass on a perfectly good guitar cause it didn't sound right. Loved this video and I could watch it without buying anything. I picked up a weird guitar last week a silver creek T170 and now I am 200 less in my account....but a great big smile on my face every time I play it
He's that dude in the guitar store that spends 8 hours with an employee, goes through literally everything in the store and then walks out after not buying anything.
Not true. Most likely with a brand new guitar pick or even two.
@@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040 Unless they're on for three for a buck. Then just one. LOL.
🙋🏼♂️ that they stole!
Me!😅
What are you rambling about?
This video has nothing to do with YOU. Go back to sleep.
I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for taking me along for the ride.
Simply one of the best and most well rounded guitar channels on YT! Thanks for all you do. Much appreciated.
I could watch this type video all day...thank you
Thanks,brings back many memories. good holidays.
Great Episode Brad! Thanks to you & your buddy for bringing us along on another cool, Vintage Gear Hunt!
In the 70s, a friend had a GBX 2x12 combo. It was a beast. Heavy and loud. My first amp was a used EMC G110. Thanks for taking us shopping.
I thoroughly enjoyed this vid. This place is better than some guitar shows I've been to.
Man, that is a really cool music store! What a bunch of funky gear... I love seeing non typical stuff like this. Thanks for sharing Brad!
Thanks for the tour! Love seeing stores from different areas. Allot of nice vintage guitars and amps.
Great video and I had a great time coming along on this visit to a really awesome music store with you and TJ. When are we going again?
Love this vid! I'm sitting on the edge of my seat!! Great stuff
That was great! Thanks for taking us along!
Denmark St in London used to be like that but a combination of young managers who can't cope in hostile financial climbates, high shop and flat rents in London plus eBay means the days of weird and wonderful smelly old guitar shops full of weird gear on patches of carpet held together with duct tape and nicotine are loooong gone.
Great browsing, Brad. It felt like I was there, for a min or two. 👍
Thank you for taking me browsing. I totally enjoyed our trip.
Ooooooo... I missed this vid when it first posted and just found it. I love these, "hunting for old/odd gear" vids. Christmas is a day early.
Killer ending! Great video! Was playin guitar the whole time watching. Dig it! Thank You!
These types of videos are always a pleasure to watch
Thank you Very Much for the musical adventure , felt like I was there , very informative , you know your stuff!
Thanks for coming along, Thomas.
Oh man everyone in the store sounded out of tune LOL 😂
Great Video.
I've worked in a couple of music stores over the years and I don't think I've ever heard ths much out of tune playing, even on with a store full of 12 year olds on a Saturday afternoon banging out Metallica riffs. Keeps reminding of the Spinal Tap scene at Elvis' grave when they're all trying to harmonize and one of them says, "Same key, I think, would be good...".
The background music from hell.
What no stairway to freebird ?
@@mdwightj They were so out of tune it might have been!
the banjo guy played pretty good even though it may have been out tune a little @@garyhundsrucker7771
Especially at 27:22
no doubt. big box music stores are sonic hell. I last about 5 minutes before i’m ready to throat punch someone.
Loved it. When you really liked something you lowered your voice like it was a secret
Can't let anyone hear about the deals, man. Always talk shit about the stuff you want, or be quiet!
That Hagstrom Viking is RIGHT up my alley!. Oh man!
I think they had $1200 on it. It was nice.
That Music Go Round is huge with a bunch of treasures! The couple I have seen in NM and CO are much smaller. Pretty cool place!
I love this shopping spree.Do more of these.That way,i don't have to get off my rear and I can enjoy while havein a beer.Great video.Cheers
Your lucky you have places like this to still check out used gear. I used to go around the pawn shops around my area just to see what's new but they have more or less started to use the Internet to sell music gear quicker and usually for a larger mark up than what they could get local.
Awesome! Thanks Brad.
That was thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you very much.
Thanks Brad! Looks like yall were having fun.
GBX, now there's a guitar amp I haven't seen in over 20 years. I fixed a power amp once (output transistor was blown). A friend had the head (missing in the vintage store), which is basically a pre-amp, has two 1/4" inputs in parallel, a FET front end, volume, bass, mid, treble and presence with 4 1/4" outputs on the back. Four outputs, one to each powered cabinet or two stacks. Cabinets are loaded with 4x10" speakers. GXB is the loudest amplifier I've ever heard ( with 16 x 10" speakers) and with high output humbuckers, the head only needs to set at around "2" to be blazing.
Cool 21:12 the Marshall 5010 master lead combo . I had one new and only sold it a few years ago to a buddy ... at least I get to play it when I go over there . I like these videos as well Brad
Quite enjoyable to see all the cool old stuff.
The GBX cab dates from around 1970. There was a solid state "driver" which sat on top and provided bass, treble, volume control etc. You can see on the top of the cab where it would have sat. These cabs could be linked together to get a "stack" or wall of speakers. They were the first self powered cabs that I had ever seen. The rhythm guitar player in one of my first bands had one, a 4X12.. Odd that a GBX would end up in KY. That Traynor head, is also Canadian from the 1960's, great rugged amps which many younger players rediscovered in the 1990's.
Great video Brad, nicely done. Some of that gear seemed a bit pricey but I think I wouldn’t have been able to walk away without that Gretsch.
This was the best 47min all day every day❤️
Great video. Thank you! I really enjoy these type of videos browsing through stores like that. I miss being able to do stuff like that and the Salvation Army and things like that but it's nice to have someone do it for you and all you got to do is listen LOL keep it comin thro happy Easter to you
Who else loves the smell of a music store ?
The olfactory test is an important one. If it smells like a Chinese factory, I'm not interested.
Its like wood, lacquer and new car smell mixed together.
Randy collins
smell like old guitars, smelly sheet music, and burnt tubes
Guitar stores and old bookstores. Nothing turns my brain on like the smell of a new guitar case liner and old book binding.
I have a box with some vintage probes, test leads, and wiring that I love to take a sniff of every now and then. I wonder if that is what Heaven smells like? I'm gonna take a sniff right now...
I saved a lot of money shopping with you today! Thank you for the trip!😉
Love the Farfisa. Ray Manzerek used a bunch of organs but he's more well known for Vox organs
He only used the Vox for a bit and actually went to Gibson Organs
I grew up right around the corner from that Music Go Round. My dad and I used to go in there and just sort through the weird stuff but there would occasionally have some awesome stuff like my Gretsch 6120 that my dad got me for my 16th birthday. So many awesome memories there.
Thanks, Bradley, I don't get out much and that was fun.
That Gretsch is a Super Axe. It was designed and endorsed by Chet Atkins. Awesome find!!
really enjoyed this episode. i don't get out to the music stores near me enough, so this was fun :D
Ran into this upload again 3 years later and had the same thought again...which is...Just love that store...nothing like it here in The Netherlands
I love music go round, every time I run across one I stop. Always some goodies to be found. The one in Louisville is about 1hr 30min away, but it's always been worth the drive. Never know who or what you'll see there.
I basically live at my local Music Go Round... several people I have been in bands with over the years work at my local store. It's like a reunion every time I walk in the joint.
Awesome video, thanks for the share brad !!
Wow! Such great selection - At our local used instrument shops here in the Atlanta area, all I ever see are cheap, second-rate amps and guitars. Y’all must get the good vintage stuff first and then the leftovers come down here!
It's like a hang out with your cool guitar playing uncle simulation video
Love the content man
Loved it. I live up in the mtns.....don't get down too often. Made my Saturday morning.
Music Go Round is an awesome place. I used to go to one in Davenport, Iowa. So much better than Guitar Center.
My dad had two of the GBX cabs. 4x10 powered cab. it had a matching preamp that went with it. Bass rig!
Great stuff Brad.
More videos like this please.
Cheers...
Great video! as a bassist, I loved to see some bass appreciation as well!
12:43 That Crate amp. soooo cool. I used to own one of these when I was younger. Thanks for finding that one.
great stuff Brad, i always learn something.
BTW, nice pickin' on that nylon string, dude!
I really enjoyed that!!!! This place has some great stuff!!! I loved the MATSUMOKU Made in Japan guitars and basses. Westone and Aria Pro II was distributed by St Louis Music and made by MATSUMOKU
Thanks Brad. That was a nice treat.
Good stuff, always nice to see whats for sale in a different area
I would give my life for Pink Guitar Guy
I have the Johnson Millennium stereo 250 head. I love it. I use it for recording. I run it through 4 ADA half cabs. ROCKS!
That Traynor BM is worth every bit of $499. I own one with its matching sealed 4x10. Killer. Killer. Killer.
Yes it is.
I love these videos Brad! Also cool to find some old Traynor amps! I have a 70’s Studio mate which is the same as the Guitar Mate with 4x8” speakers instead of a single 12”
I'm a hue Traynor fan. They are in the top 3 best made vintage amps for me.
The Guitologist it’s too bad that they have moved more into building PA gear for Yorkville and have kind of abandoned their amp lines or at least any innovation in their amps. Their old amps are all reasonably priced compared to most
hey Brad, I enjoyed your video, you should have bought the Goya, it sounded excellent
I grew up using those traynors that you like. they were all over the place here in Toronto, at the time
Peter Traynor was the amp tech in my local music store when he first started building them. I used to go in and say hello to him all the time!!
When you are playing the acoustic guitar, around the 41min mark, that is beautiful.
Music-Go-Round, my absolute favorite music shops!
When I used to live in Illinois back in the 80's there was a music shop in the city of Marion and the owners last name was Byassee. He was an eccentric old dude and when you entered into his shop ( which was HUGE !!! ) you never knew what you might find. You just had to dig around in his madness of gear that was stored here, there, and everywhere. Walk into his shop as a stranger, you'd be paying top dollar for gear. Take the time to talk the talk and become friends though, you could walk out of his shop paying dimes for great gear. Again, eccentric … Sadly, he passed away many years ago. I really liked that cat.
Is he still there? I wonder if he's the same guy I'm thinking of... this guy operated out of an antique store. Had some of the most incredible old stuff.
That's the guy and that's the place !!! Apparently, after he passed away, a son continued to run the business up until 2016. It's now under new ownership but still carries the Byassee name " Byassee Music & Sound ". Cool story … After the original release of the Digitech RP-5 signal processor, I found out he had a brand new one still in the box with the processor itself still wrapped in shrinkwrap. He agreed to let me make payments on it and one day out of the blue he called me on the phone to ask if I could make the trip down to his shop to make my final payment of $35 dollars. I thought it was rather odd that he called me, but I told him " Sure, I'll be down this weekend ". Once I got there and we had a chance to chat for a while he asked me " When is your birthday ". Told him in about 6 weeks after which he immediately reached under the table he was sitting at, produced my RP-5, handed it to me, and said " Happy birthday. Don't worry about that 35 bucks ". Old dude had tricked me. He knew what he was up to. lol
Oh, I forgot to mention that I had heard the rumor more than once that he supposedly had ties to the Mafia. I didn't care. All I knew was that I liked the guy and that's all that mattered to me.
I have a completely unusual one for ya.
1962 Encore Violin Body
Electric Guitar
Full tremelo and without the standard scroll top headstock. This is a fantastic one.
Wow, what a great store... We have none in my area... ...well we have two but they are very sad. Thanks Brad, great video.
I love music go round. Its great cuz theres only Guitar Centers around me besides it.
I love the backing soundtrack. I want shops like that in every city on Earth.
This has got to be the best Music Go Round store I have ever seen. It makes me wanting to make the trip. I have been to several of their stores but nothing like this.
I had fun hangin' with you guys today!
I have a vintage club 50 and a vintage club 30 - Both made by crate and totally kick ass! Especially the 50 watt... Truly great sounding without any sort of overdrive box.
29:29 I hope someone buy that, goes big, and that guitar becomes iconic, and you see a bunch of interviews where the player's talking about it and they're just like "this apparently belonged to Steve, at some point".
CurtisAlfeld I could definitely see that being some big artists guitar. Very beautiful guitar
Got my first guitar at a music go round after 2 years of begging, they knew they had to do it to shut me up.
Walked out with a old Harmony a, a giant bass amp and a Grunge pedal.
I was in heaven. I forget the bass amp, but it was an old one he said would also work with guitar, just not quite as well, but for me it was perfect.I was playing bits of Iron Man and Smoke On The Water that night. Man, thanks for triggering great memories.
My wife and I stopped by there a couple years ago on vacation. Great place. Had an Electra X330 there that I fell in love with. Just didn't have the $ at the time.
Thanks Brad! I just may need to make a drive to Louisville, to go amp shopping ( I live in Lexington, not many good deals here! ) very entertaining video!
Great video, really enjoyed this one.
35:45 in my country we call it "Charango" and the back of the charango is made of the shield of an armadillo
Kirby Roy ok, that’s actually sick
I just scored a mint Toyota semi hollow with a very nice case for $280.... Had no internet to look it up, as I was in the mountains.
Glad I did.
They're really rare, and it plays like a dream.
Loved it. Thank you!
My son has a 24 year old Johnson JM-60 Marquis. it's his favorite amp! It has tons of effects and amp sims.
That background dirge, holy hell, I heard a banjo in there somewhere as well, ha! The big dude with the Daisy Rock!!! 😂 F'n Classic brother, loved this, keep em coming, cheers!
I'd love to have that Crate Vintage Club amp with the 3 10's. Great little combo amps.
Reminds me of Ray's Heart of Texas store in Austin back in the 80s/90s ; A lot of old gear stacked in the rooms
The Carr amp..love those we didn't look at it but those are great tone monsters.
I had a friend/previous co-worker that owned a Music-Go-Round store - he'd let me know if any 'good' stuff came in the door for sale. Sadly it didn't work for him after a few years of trying but was nice to get my hands a few good things!
Thanks for the inspiration.
I miss Music go Round. We used to have one around here. It’s actually where I bought my first Ibanez RG550.
Thanks, Bradley. 🙂
Love music go round . We have 2 of them in Columbus Oh about an hour from me . You can get on line and view each stores inventory and they’ll even hold something for you if you find something you like and they’ll ship it too if you want:)
Love the telecaster custom !!
Yeah, nice color too. $3k seems expensive until your realize these model Teles had their first incarnation in the 70s and they are still reissuing them. I have 4 or 5 of these 70s Teles once and sold them all for a nice round sum.
I know a guy that runs one of those giant Peavey festival heads into two 810s. Loud as hell and sounds fantastic.
Great video. Wish we had a shop like this in my area
