Does anyone else get apprehensive when they go into a music shop to buy new gear or check out some instruments? I do. Every time! Maybe it's the pretty instruments everywhere, or the fact that the people who work there are always basically insanely good/ virtuosos, but I am always just really intimidated. Especially when you're trying out instruments in front of their judging eyes... I'm always inferring that they're probably thinking, "Wow, what's this chick doing in here, she can't play bass to save her life..." Haha.

Sorry if this thread is stupid or off-topic but I was just wondering! I have to go back into a shop soon to get my new bass set up and I'm just dreading that feeling of intimidation again... Is anyone else the same or am I just weird? OR are you one of those people who works at a store who I am terrified of? lol.
