Even their customer service phone shit is staffed with retards, just like the stores. goddamit i hate that place so much. but there isn't much of an alternative in SD. But I ordered something online, and I should have known better than to order it through them. I don't know what I was thinking. It could ship tomorrow. or august. ARGGGGGG!!!!!!!

the rest of those stores arent much better either
Their on-line store is the WACKEST SHIT EVAR!!! It's identical to Musician's Friend but way worse.
I ordered something with a gift card last Christmas and got sick of waiting for the shipment status to change after a week. I called to cancel the order and it was like the sky was caving in to re-credit a gift card.
I have to say that the one in Plymouth Meeting, PA is off thou chain, though. I have only fucked with their drum room and the guys are knowledgable and let you go to town. This was not apparent at their Manchester, CT location where a clerk adorning air traffic control ear muffs yelled at me for playing one of the kits.
I saw a dude in there once who got offered like $600 for a year old Triton Extreme in good condition
that he had bought at the same store for $1200, and its not like they had the new Korg shit there to say "hey thats an old keyboard" the extreme was the most recent keyboard they had out even then...
i much prefer Sam Ash, if only becuase they have higher end stuff out for you to fuck with, stuff I have never seen at Guitar Center.
p.s. they let you play the drums at my local GC
Like anyone else, shitty music hurts my ears.
Not that I know of... I mean, they have "guitar stores" I guess, but I don't play the guitar, so that doesn't do much for me.....
50% of retail is a pretty square deal when it comes to any sort of used goods, especially ones that are going to be re-sold. Just saying.
I'm getting an 88 key midi contoller right? So what I want to do is get a real piano from goodwill or some shit and rip all the guts out of it and then put the controller where the keys were. and then where the soundboard was would be where the speakers go. And then maybe strip off the finish and give it a dope paint job or something.... awesome!

DON'T TET RAJMAHAL'S GERRY RAFFERTY-ESQUE GUITAR SHRED
About 5 years ago my youngest daughter went in their Drum Room and started playing. The "drum tech" pulled me aside and said "Damn, how long has your son been playing he's friggin good?"
When I told her what he said she was pissed and swore she would never step foot in one of their stores again.
I bought my last digidesign piece from West LA Music in Universal City. They were cool. It was pleasant, but I got the feeling they were trying to rape my pocketbook so I had to bargain a bit. Much better than GC even if it is easier to get a discount there. You get what you pay for.
I think they are riding the whole "we're the only place in town" can't wait to see them dessimated by turntable lab or something....
what 'appened to lab cabin?
and have it not show up as lab cabin?
Labcabin
turntable lab
first one was t t l
second one was turntable.lab
Probably a few years ago. I just assumed it's to keep that site from getting free advertising on this site? since so many people mention it, unintentionally or otherwise.

If I want to try out some gear, I'll go to the local Guitar Center, but 95% of the time I'll end up buying it through B&H.
