Actually, I've had some great friends for years who run a music store called
Century Music Systems here in
San Antonio. They are good folks (
Dale and
Tommy & the gang), and they have access to anything you want, at a great price. The store has a great personal, family feel. If they don't have it (which they usually do), they'll get it quickly!
Currently, Al, if you want to get into some really serious gear specifically for the bass player, it's pretty convenient to drive 60 miles to
Austin and vivst the
Bass Emporium, and other great stores there.
After
Ken talked about the advantages of
George L instrument cables a few days ago (got one with my new
Ken Smith, thank you!), I walked into
Century Music to rent a keyboard for our Church Anniversary, and they were doing
George L's in a big way. They make them to order right there on the spot. by the way, the
George L tips are noticabally "better fitting" than the normal instrument cable tip!
Incidentally, Ken also sent me
Al "The Burner" Turner's newest CD with my package. If you don't have it, you gotta hear it. Get it from
Ken, and play it in your car.
Al's bass solos are fantastic, and I've been practicing them on my new baby!
