Popped into Bothners on Sat - Thought I'd update this thread.
Ok, not quite a TOMS sale, but if you pop in and negotiate hard on guitar/bass stuff, you'll get a good deal.
I didn't buy anything (yet), but was sorely tempted by a few things. Also, if you are looking for strings, depending on the branch, ask to dig through their old stock - I found some very interesting strings lurking in the old stock at appropriately old prices!

Which I played this weekend and noticed all the treble strings were crusty and tarnished after about two weeks on the guitar (and about 3hrs play time). On standard strings I'd expect this level of unplayability after about 3-6mths. I've had elixir's at 18mths that felt brand new (sounded dead though). Not impressed at all, so unimpressed, I'm complaining about it :?
