Thank you very much pjk and wyd for giving me some ideas to get started! Very helpful.
What are some reliable, and affordable online stores to buy equipment?

get a sales engineer, that stays with you, and you get better prices than online.
plus, you get an engineer that's a real engineer, not just a hired salesperson.

Oct 12, 2006 11:49 am Im' a whore when it comes to online stores. I look to see who has the dest deal. Zzound is a good place and if you do go throught the link dB put up, I've used musicians friend ,sweetwater I have to agree they have a good staff, and even music123 .They'res always Ebay .

Oct 19, 2006 01:28 pm i've used them, and have had good luck. But dB (our gracious host) had problems with their sponsored links, or affiliate program, something like that.
I've had a keyboard replaced thru them without problem.
I tried to get them into a deal like what I was getting from sweetwater, and their sales guy basically laughed at me, so I'm sticking with SW.
Oct 19, 2006 01:29 pm I did MF for a while, they REALLY started pissing me off so I stopped. HRC promoted MF for a long time, but I dumped them cuz their response time and customer service sucked ***, zZounds has been a pleasure to deal with...quick repsonses as an affiliate and customer...
As they grew it seems their heads got big and they quit caring.

Oct 19, 2006 01:32 pm Too bad that none of these places will ship to Canada. Does anyone know of an equivalent to zZsounds in Canada?
Oct 19, 2006 01:34 pm I tried like crazy to find an affiliate in Canada, zZounds wants to expand there, that I know, but no love yet.
Try Gear4Music, they may, they ship loads of places. All the Canadian places I emailed never even emailed me back, I mean not ONE. Friggin lazy kanucks. :-)

Oct 19, 2006 01:46 pm Haha, they probably just haven't gotten to your e-mail yet. Too busy shovelling snow and building igloos.
I checked out Gear4Music and it doesn't say whether or not they ship to Canada. I'll drop 'em a note and find out. All prices are in pounds/euros so I will have to dig a little further to find out if there prices are competitive.
Thanks db
Oct 19, 2006 01:47 pm click thru to their site and they have US prices too...just not in their data feed. Besides, I like zZounds so I promote them over G4M...so it's worth checkin out.

Oct 19, 2006 01:58 pm hee hee,
a kid was shovelling snow for a guy, and the guy says "It's like Canada, with all the snow".
the kid says "aw, to heck with Canada. They're just a bunch of stupid hockey players and tramps up there".
The guys says "My wife's from Canada"
the kid responds "so what team does she play on?"
ba-da-boom.

Very nice indeed.
