Actually, they aren't in bed together, they are the same company. Good job getting the guitar center doofus's to compete with the web special price from his own company :>

I'll never buy from them again, they managed to fuck me over just one too many times. The final straw - the kept re-back ordering an item and then they finally just dropped the order - without telling me. I found out when I went to the order page to check. All the while, they kept telling me that the were 'in touch with the manufacturer' and would receive the new shipment any day now. Looking back, I can see that the clueless fuckwit at the end of the line was just reading from a call chart.

I've spent about ten thousand dollars on gear from them, building out a corporate media studio, and buying my toys at home. I really wish I'd spent it somewhere else now.

Another tip - the 'expected shipment date' is total bullshit. Another time I had tried to buy some behringer gear from them, ordered it, and went to behringer's site, to find out that it wasn't going to be available for several months after the shipping date on MF's page. The girl at MF told me that they always recieved advanced shipments from their manufacturers, thanks to their size. Guess what? The unit was back ordered, and back ordered, and back ordered. Same story as the one they dropped. 

Fucking shitheads - it's one thing when it's a bunch of toys you are buying, it's something else entirely when you job depends on gear. In either case, I'm not standing for their corporate bullshit any more.

Try altomusic.com, - they are super competitive, and small enough to give you personal attention. They'll have no problem giving you a better price than guitar center.


YM usually V, but in this case, one size fits all.

  Thanks Brian.

  I believe Musician's Enemy and Guitar Center are in bed together, and 
  the ad says it only applies to current stock, so we'll see if they go 
  for it or not...
