seren Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Hey folks, I know there is a samash.com and a guitarcenter.com/musiciansfriend.com that are backed by the brick and morter stores so they have a bit more of a reputation of reliability, are there any other places where you guys get instruments online that are similar? Now look what you made me do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farid Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I have bought a couple of times from music123.com and have been very happy with them. BUT, once I ordered an item that they didn't have in stock, and they said the manufacturer 'should' send it in 15 days, and it's been 4 months since and still nothing. They send every 15 days a mail telling me the manufacturer should send it in 15 days and so on.. so i just cancelled. But for items on stock they work very fast and reliably. I even did some returns and had no problems with them. Hope it helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred TBP Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Not instrument but strings. Been using JustStrings.com for a few years. Great customer support, very good prices and a single shipping price per order; they don't have everything but they can get you something special if you give them time to get a quote.

saxofunk Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 My long time favorite is Woodwind & Brasswind . Don't let the name deceive you. I have also used American Musical Supply and Zzounds, once each, with no hassle. - Matt W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroXtrem Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 http://www.basscentral.com Simple way to describe it...the porn store for bass players, they got best of the best and if they dont have they get it. Prices are good too I just got a customer Stingray 5 Fretless with a piezo for 1700, not that bad i think Check this out: http://www.lostartmusic.net http://www.myspace.com/lostart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davio Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Welcome ZeroXtrem. Bass Central has great service. I've just started dealing with them and many people here have told me how reliable and friendly they are. Also check out http://www.bassnw.com Another wonderful place. This one is about as far from Bass Central as you can get (in the country anyway)...Orlando to Seattle. Good hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm just lucky. In Skynyrd We Trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZ Thorn Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I'm a huge fan of Amazon.com for CDs. I've gotten easily 200+ from them the last two plus years (I do a TON of driving for work) and I've honestly never had a bad experience. And if it's not listed on Amazon.com, it's probably not on CD. And they're usually about 1/3rd cheaper, even with the shipping! Example: Yesterday I couldn't resist buying the legendarily awesome Johnny Winter "Second Winter," which has been remastered (which it kind of needed) and they included a live CD from 1970 (with the great Tommy Shannon on Fender bass). I was at Best Buy and paid $30 for it new - I just checked and they're selling it for $17 on Amazon, new. Tack on $2 for shipping, and there's your 30 percent savings. No joke, Amazon is the way to buy CDs. http://www.myspace.com/themoustachioed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
