 |
|
I was wondering what the best place to buy new gear on-line was in your opinion (apart from ebay). I know one person mentioned Mercenary Audio.
I guess I am looking for quality of service, quick shipping times and lowest cost, as is everyone. Has anyone had really good service with a particular company that they could recommend. If anyone has any special tips or recent stories of good transactions it would help.
I have dealt with a few companies but looking for new options and wanted referrals.
Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the tips. I did order what I needed. Sweetwater and Musician's Friend had what I was after in stock. Most other places did not have what I needed in stock or their price was too high. Should be here early next week. I am excited.
Thanks again everyone!

Got my gear on Monday and Tuesday via Fed Ex from both companies. I am very happy with both companies so far. Sweetwater did rock my world as DB stated.

Yep... another vote for Sweetwater. 80% of all my gear over the years was purchased from them. Very knowledgeable people that can save you a lot of headaches.
Congrtaulations on the new gear Ben!
