Blues City Music

Even better location for new Blues City Music store front, check this out.

Hello from Memphis, but soon if we make things work out, we will be in a BRAND NEW store front in Collierville, Tennessee right on the edge of Germantown, Tennessee.  Both are wealthy suburbs of Memphis, Tennessee. 

This new building, NEVER LEASED, will be built out to our specs.  It is the second unit from the left.  We've also decided to go ahead and have a couple of multi purpose rooms for storage, music lessons, amp demos, you name it.  We will also have our 12,000 watt QSC/Allen&Heath, Yamaha, and DBX, PA system set up with a full array of American DJ LED stage lights too.  On the other side will be our one of a kind 12 amp/4 speaker cabinet switching system for amp demos.  You'll also see various guitars, amps, gig bags, effects, pedals, strings, picks, etc. for sale. 

Here are a couple of pics of our potential store front.  Bad to the bone for sure, and NO where else anywhere can you play as long and as loud as you want.

Blues City Music's new store front, Midtown Memphis location.

Blues City Music is proud to announce that we are actively engaged in negotiations for an iconic location right in the middle of the hottest section of Memphis, Tennessee.  Overton Square/Cooper Young area is booming right now and hopefully we can make this deal work.

What you can expect would be everything BCM has under one roof including:

1.  BCM Bob Bradshaw 8 amp switching system setup for 4 Soldano amps and 4 Diamond amps routed into 2 - 4x12" cabinets.  Then the 2 Diezel amps and 2 Friedman amps will route into respective 4x12" cabinets via the new Diamond head switching pedal. 

2.  BCM's entire 12,000 watt QSC PA system will be set up for jam night, band practice, or live shows when we want to entertain.  12 - 1,000 watt continuous enclosures from the K Sub and KW series of speakers.  Our 14 space rack is loaded with Allen and Heath, DBX, Yamaha, and a host of other way cool mixers and components. 

3.  BCM's American DJ LED stage lighting system will be set up along with the above PA system. 

4.  BCM's vintage amp section including Matchless, Fender, Marshall, and Hiwatt. 

5.  For sale amps, guitars, cables, pedals, tubes, parts, etc., will be prominently displayed.

6.  Separate photo booth with professional soft boxes, reflectors, and back drops.

7.  Separate shipping area.

8.  Inventory and boxing area.

9.  We are also in negotiations with a good friend to come and set up his recording gear so we can "Re Amp" tracks for any customer world wide.  We have at our disposal some killer software for this but we also have special gear from Creation Audio Labs and Michael Wagener as well.  Customers will really dig the results.

We can't wait to make this happen so standby for more information, but even if this property can't be arranged, we will make it happen somewhere in the midtown Memphis area soon.

NO WHERE ELSE will you be able to demo gear like this.  LOUD and as long as you like.

Blues City Music is now an authorized stocking dealer for Lava Cables

Blues City Music is now proud to offer our customers the world renowned Lava Cables brand.  Lava Cables owner, Mark Stoddard, is a former US Army Officer, so naturally with me having been a USAF and Tennessee Air National Guard C-130 Aircraft Commander, we speak the same language.  For you our valued customer, this means you can expect an extremely well made product and a fantastic customer service. 

Case in point, I wanted to see how fast their service was before taking them on as a new dealer.  I needed a very customized Stereo Y cable for the effects loop of my own 1994 Matchless DC-30 combo guitar amplifier.  This cable had to have both mono and stereo/TRS male 1/4" plugs and 20' of cable.  When I called to order, Mark answered the phone, took the order, and within 2 days it was shipped to me in packaging as good as any I've ever seen, and I've been in the shipping business at FedEx for 34 years.  BINGO, HOMERUN.  Lava Cables is the real deal.

I will be stocking Blue Demon, Soar, and Ultramafic guitar instrument cables, Tephra speaker cables, and Tightrope and Piston pedal board kits.  You will have the option of 12' - 20' on most cables and 3' - 6' on speaker cables. 

The Lava Cables catalog is VERY LONG and in depth.  Matter of fact it is 26 pages, so if I don't have what you need in stock, please let me know and I'll get it right out to you ASAP.
