1. The Gear Page is run by musicians for musicians. We listen, we learn and if we misstep we are not afraid to do the right thing. We proposed some changes to the Emporiums. Based on feedback from members, we have decided to not go ahead with those changes. However, it has also highlighted that we need some community input into what is working and what is not working for members here. Primarily focused on the Emporiums, we'd like input on your thoughts about TGP and how things work in the Emporiums for you and how you'd improve them. The discussion thread on the is here!

    I'm in several bands, sub in others, and almost everyone is a full-time musician; gigger, engineer or studio owner. I can only think of one IT guy :)

    I'm the only one with a day job. Well, the drummer is also the production manager for the club we play at, so thats his day job.
