Amps at JB

[orangedreg_2]

Totoo po ba na nde nyo pwede test yung amps the JB gamit yung guitar(s) na dala nyo?

[skrumian]

That's b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t.

kung ni-refuse ka na i-test ang amp, call the attention of the manager. maggalit galitan ka.

sinong nagsabi sa inyo bro?

[tsunamic]

syempre pwede. one time sa lumang JB Makati/Parksquare? dala ko pa nga pedalboard ko. kalokohan yang pauso na yan na di pwede.

[cayle]

Tingin ko sinasabi yun ng mga salesman kasi may mga nagmemeetup sa music stores pag bibili ng used na gitara. Imbes na magdala ng amp, meetup nalang sa store para kunwari magtetest ng amp pero ang totoo yung gitara talaga itetest.

[orangedreg_2]

sinong nagsabi sa inyo bro?

Yung sales guy. Pero sabi nya policy daw yun. I asked for the manager, wala daw. Tatawagin daw nila kung mahihintay ko daw.

I apologized sa sales man kase I know its not his fault, kase napagtaasan ko ng boses. Pero ang weird kung management policy yun.

Baka nga. Pero we'd like to buy amps that day, 2 sana kame bibili. thats why we brought our guitars.

^^bat hindi nyo sinubukan na gamit ang gitara ng store?
I would imagine kung gusto nyo talaga ang amp eh okay lang sa inyo na i-test gamit ang gitara nila.

anyway, b-ulls-hi-t pa rin yun policy na di puede gamiting ang sariling gitara pangtest,

Well, I'd like to make sure that the amp goes well with my guitar; Just like buying a shirt but they won't let you fit it but instead have their sales guy fit it for you to see doesn't sound logical to me. It may look good at him or her but it may not look good at me.

Hindi nga sila mag offer pa palit ng strings kahit binili nyo na yung string set  sa kanila. But willing sila eh change yung strings if pati yung guitar binili nyo sa store nila.

Try asking also patch cables parang you look weird for asking.

I don't know if lost in translation lang kami or iba na talaga JB ngayon.

Last time kase I bought from JB when I was gassing 2010 

[nicoyow]

nakapag try pa ako dati ng micro terror dati e. last year. kapal ng mukha ko pati epex tinesting ko. konting chika chika sa sales clerk about sa tones tones, licks licks ng konti, tpos sabay sabi, "sige sir, mag try pa ako sa iba" 

[musicianurse28]

Nagpapa try ng amps sa SM North, Trinoma, Harrison Plaza at MOA. Yun pa lang mga nasubukan ko.

If thats the case, then it confirms what cayle said. Crystal clear.

Ok, so I gues theyd rather not sell then.

[shoegaze geezer]

Well, probably.
JB never issued an official statement about that policy. My guess is that some attendants sensed a pattern that their store has become a meeting place to make deals on used guitars so they made some sort of a solution to remedy that problem. Hindi naman sasakit tiyan ng mga attendants na yun kahit wala silang sales. As long as they receive their salaries.

well, maybe there's a commission pay for every closed deal inside the store premises. 
so next time we wanted to try an amp inside JB, we need to dress up a little bit. tuxedo, or coat and tie.

i think commission goes out to branch managers. foot soldiers especially new ones do not get any.

btw,you are out of context sir regarding on how to dress when inside jb.  kindly read again my post. this time, do it more slowly. 

[CeL1916]

Sana tinest niyo using their guitars, tapos nagpaalam kayo na susubukan niyo sa gitara niyo since mas kabisado niyo tunog. Problema din kasi minsan yung mga sales clerk di naman gear head so di nila nagegets yung dahilan bakit gusto mo gitara mo mismo, ang test sa kanila eh para lang makita mo na gumagana at tumutunog. On the other hand di mo din naman masisisi sila kasi nga ginagawa sila testingan ng buynsell. Better kontakin mo nalang JB tungkol dito para malinaw at matweak din nila yung policy nila, tapos pasched ka na rin na magtetest ka ng amps haha.

OT:
hahaha about the dress up thing, its a joke. sorry for that mate. 

I often go to a music store and test something. I bring my own guitar sometimes and they would let me test a brand new amp, what ever amp i pointed out. So maybe, just maybe, there are some branches who have this kind of policy " no amp testing using your own guitar".

(JB SM bacoor's manager and attendants are really nice btw.)

this analogy is a fallacy. apples to orange comparison

puede naman kaseng gamitin mo muna yun gitara nila tapos after a while isaksak mo gitara mo. tamang pagpapakita lang ng interes sa sales guy.

ok. Hindi ko kase naisip na meron palang tamang pagpapakita ng interes pala.

[dewberry]

Yupangco or Lyrics nalang hehe 

[tackielarla]

I guess it depends on your "relationship" with the store. I'm a happy JB customer and have been able to test any item no problems. In fact, one time there was a delay in the shipment of an amp I ordered and they offered to let me use one of their display models. Nevertheless I have never had any problems with JB sales folks branch to branch. Now if we talk about Pitch... 

I would highly endorse these folks.
