Blame Guitar Center? Too bad really... one less place to hang a shitty flyer I guess

Pretty fucked up.

first Bickfords, , then Frendlys, Slip disc, now Daddy's?

You dont see any banks of fucking cellphone companies closing down....cocksuckers!!!!!

sweet! glad i got that 2 year warranty on my guitar.

was in there tonight....
shell shock

that place has sucked ass since they closed down the used basement on Mass Ave anyways

Not even any real warning to those of us who worked there, we found out this afternoon.

Yeah that's fuckin weak. I am pretty sure the guy who recorded the first Sac CD became a regional manager for this place and is probably screwed because of this.

because he liked nu metal?

I think that Hell Within thread has you all antsy in the pantsy.

The one in Warwick has been closed for a few months. Place sucked anyway, but the Guitar Center in this town is a joke compared to some of the other ones anyway.

that does suck...I loved their used gear system; the fact that I could have any piece from any of their stores sent to my local store to check it out or buy it.

I have gotten some insane used deals there including one of my fav guitars for $80 in a hard case hahah

This is definitely shitty news. Daddy's used/deal gear was unmatched. The steals I've gotten there over the years is ridiculous.

If you're bitching about how they sucked and good riddance, its cus you can't bargain hunt or don't know your shit enough.

Shit, I need another cymbal. Hopefully I can get an even better deal now.

Ugh.
Are there any other non-Guitar Center places to go in the area?

This has gotta be a stomach punch for people like WarriorofMetal. Ugh again.

See you in Hell daddys junky music

shit, where can I get a used tambourine?

Mr Music

cool, i need a tube combo amp anyways. 40% off here i come.

website doesnt work anymore...

As a bassist, honestly, this isn't a huge loss as far as new gear. All they ever had to offer was Fender, Ibanez, and Yamah in terms of basses (yeah I know, they'd have a couple others here and there). It still sucks because now that I think about it, the used gear deals the had were definitely unbeatable, not to mention where Guitar Center has a nice selection for basses, their staff is retarded. Also really sucks because my boy is now out of a job. Was working there for years and I think was a store manager.

Music Go Round ftw. Get monster deals there all the time.

Ugh. This sucks so hard. I've been going to Daddy's for friggin' ever.

Also right on the Amherst/Milford, NH border there's a pretty sweet shop called Guitar Gallery. They always have some sweet gear, for everyone.

Music Go Round is awesome

I bought my first bass from Guitar Gallery. Nice shop, good staff.

Sucks way hard. Are all the stores closing? I didn't read the article.. Had some unbelievable scores at Daddy's over the years.

Had to be some sort of massive legal prob for it to have gone down the way it did - No "going out of business" sale to get a last-minute influx of capital would have saved it, clearly, or else they would have - Lord knows the markups there are criminal, however typical. Point being, they could sell *everything* in there for half-off and still profit, and they didn't. Interested to see how this'll all shake down. Feel badly for the poor fucks who are suddenly unemployed! Any ideas as to where all their stock will go? Having had no push of a sale, they're saddled with ass-tons of mid-grade instruments.

"Daddy's Junky Music is closing all its stores for good, its founder said Wednesday night."

Sounds to me like the bank pulled their credit line. That's usually what the backstory is when businesses just suddenly shit the bed like this.

This is correct. All the gear is being repossessed.

WEAK!

Too bad, I kinda have a like/hate feeling about Daddy's, but I would still buy stuff there periodically. The Manchester store was good when you were in a pinch.

what the fffuuuuuuuuuck

They should leave all the gear outside for the bank so it can be stolen.

five-finger sidewalk sale!

wow.. when I was there Sunday, as we were leaving, I said "He'll be back in 10 years"
The guy behind the counter said "I'll probably be here"
WRONG!

if I worked there I'd be robbing and stealing right now like WOAH

though I did that when I worked at Guitar Center and it WASN'T closing so...uh..yeah.

IM A COP

COME AT ME

So was this yesterday that they closed or they're closing this coming Wednesday? I'm sure there's not a lot of loyalty and I could get some sweet deals.

ya i got hooked up big time when Wurlitzer closed down. they were pissed about losing their jobs and sold me a 12 string for $50.

Hahahah so true. GC was too easy, but you had it down to pure mastery.

Yesterday. I was scheduled to be at work right now, but I'm hanging out at home with nothing to do because my job no longer exists.

You have a key to get in?

Hope you walked out with a full stack in your beard, Ari.

Nope, never had a key to the doors. Lowly salesguy with no power.


@Alx: Thought about grabbing the bass I've been wanting, but decided that wasn't the best idea lol

this sucks. i loved daddy's

Yeah bad news. Ebay here I come

fucked. Fifteen years and now a goto shop is closed. And alot of friends are jobless

indeed.

.deedni

haha I audit for commercial lenders. Spot on analysis right here.

http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/news/937576...y-music-abruptly-closes-its-12.html

This sheds some more light on the situation...

I have been in the dying commercial print industry for 15 years -- I read about this happening to printing companies every few months. You owe bank, bank doesn't like what your numbers/forecasts are looking like, bank pulls plug.

Moral: nice guys finish last. Poor bastard fucked himself.

ouch. yeah that's what you get for trying to be honorable.

The last trainer I had on the road told me that I was ignorant for saying that honor doesn't amount to much in the end.

He'd been married to his wife for 27 years (who was a total leech from what he had told me), and after two years of trucking, she cheated on and attempted to divorce him, and made up a bunch of fake rape/stalking accusations.

He also used to run a real estate company with his wife and talked about how he used his honesty, hard work, and determination to turn a one-star hotel into a five-star, but because the people who worked with him weren't getting to skim any money off the top, the president of the board voted him out and the hotel went back to a one-star.

Before that venture, he was a cop for a long time, got plenty of medals and was one of the most decorated officers in the city he worked in (no small city either), but because his leaders were all corrupt and he was honorable to himself, he had a bad falling out with the people who run the city and got let go.

Where'd his honor get him? Apparently nowhere.

let him sleep at night pal. as shitty as some nights may have been.

No good deed goes unpunished.
