Hey guys and/or gals,
Hoping some of you out there will shine a bright light on the subject of buying on-line.
Every piece of gear I own,(guitars, amps, recording gear, etc.) I've gotten at a local music store.(Sound Post, Guitar Center, etc.) I'll be getting some more gear in the near future and so I was wondering.....if anyone could comment on their experiences when ordering on-line.
Can anyone comment on their experiences with the likes of Musiciansfriends.com, ..GuitarVision.com and other such places?
Would it be safe to order a large, fragile and very expensive piece of equipment, like the Triton Studio, for example?(That's a lot of money to be gambling with.) ....And what about the return policy dilemma?
As with most of you, I've had some good and not so good experiences when buying at a regular music store, but the one thing that I just can't knock is that... ...if needed, you can return the piece of gear to the regular music store and not have to wait anxiously for a replacement. ...And generally one can check the gear out before ones buys.
Any thoughts, I'm sure would help others as well.
Thanks,
Nels

QUOTE (terrywil @ Apr 9 2004, 04:14) Hi Nels. I've purchased alot of items, large and small from Musicians Friend. They are prompt in shipment, and take items back with no problem if you find the gear isn't what you want. Their prices are good. So I highly recommend them. I've also bought at Music123.com and SameDayMusic.com. Both are good too. I agree! Music123.com and Musicians Friend have had the best prices and service that I've found... Sweetwater and Roxymusic.com iare just toooo expensive!. Granted they have anything and everything you could want, but price is the killer there!
