Looking for a decent guitar store.

I am looking for a decent guitar store around central Indiana. I have recently been wanting pick up a new bass guitar and would like some place that has a decent selection. I went to Guitar Center last week and will never go back after being completely ignored the entire time. I don't know what it is about that whole company only hiring people who are only interested in playing guitar instead of working but every one I have been to is the same story.
If it comes down to it I may just make the 2 hour trek to Swee****er in Ft. Wayne but would like some place a little closer if I have to.

And apparently INGO censors sweet water.

I'm not sure on their selection of bass guitars, but check Main Street Music in Beech Grove and Ping's on the south side (Hanna and Meridian). I've always been treated well in both stores. Hope this helps.

Edit: Indy Pro Audio may be a place to check, as well.

Not too sure how they are, but there is also Guitarworks in Greenwood (135 down near Smith Valley).

Most the Fort Wayne local gun shops are within ten minutes of Sweetwwater if that helps.

We ilke Guitarworks in Greenwood, as well. Nice selection and you can "test drive" what you're looking for. Friendly.

I think that would make things worse. I would want to buy new toys at both places and the wallet would be mad at me.

I think I will have to check out Guitar Works the next time I go to Greenwood.

Think multipurpose.

Think multipurpose.

An assault bass that can play 1000 beats per minute.

You're doing it wrong.

I figured I would give an update on this. I ended up picking up an Ibanez sr500 from sweet water. They are great to deal with. I placed my order yesterday morning, and they called me about 20 minutes later to confirm the order and that they had checked everything and were packing it up for shipping.

Nice. Very playable, good electronics. I think you will like that bass.

My nieces husband shops here. Home - Dave's Guitar Shop

I know too far.

If you end up near Fort Wayne, swing another 20 miles north to Auburn and check out the Guitar Infirmary.

Disclaimer: My cousin owns it.

He does retail sales as well as repairs, and there are lessons available as well.

Congrats on the new bass, looks nice.

Just going to put this out for other who may be interested. If you're willing to travel to Louisville, the guys I bought my bass from, Steilberg Steilberg String Instruments are some super guys. Not to mention Jim the owner, and his son are gun guys also. If you have an opportunity to go it is worth it. The outside of the building is deceiving, inside it seems much larger.
