|  |     Interestin yesterday I got a catalog that is good good on prices
    that I was going ot start a note on it...today here the note is
    already started.
    
    Stewart McDonald's Guitar supply shop
    21N. Shafer St.
    Box 900
    Athens, Ohio 45701
    800-848-2273
    614-592-3201
    
    they carry replacement and repair parts. Some very hard to find
    and very inexpensive stuff in the catalog. best prices I've seen
    in a mail order catalog. they do not sell effects guitars etc...they
    do sell kit parts (make your own axe) replacement and repair parts
    for just about any stringed instrument,, tools, instructional videos
    (repair seminars!) etc.

|  |     A couple of places you might want to try also are
    
    profoud sound 1-800-63-sound ask for Shane
    east coast sound 203-748-2799 ask for Reed
    
    mention me...and DEC
    
    these two places beat Music Emporium's prices by big $$
    I got a midiverb II from Profound for $325, lowest bid I got anywhere.
    I ordered (but haven't received ) a symetrics 525 stereo
    compressor/limiter/noise gate list $499 for $350...big discounts.
    
    east coast has a catalog..profound doesn't that I know of, they're
    just a small store that does good discounts for DECCIES among
    others...but they know DEC as the COMMUSIC notefilers have ordered
    a great deal of stuff from them.
                                                                          
    Others are Sam Ash 1-800-972-6274, Manny's 212-819-0576, Thouroughbred
    Music 813-237-5597
    
    of these Thoroughbred gave the bset quotes.
    
    If you're interested in group discounts a "DEC" group purchase is
    being discussed in NOVA::COMMUSIC. Other dealers are discussed there
    but profound and east coast seem to be the best I contacted in my
    search for the two items I ordered.

                       <  Slightly off subject >
    
    
    While you guitarists were searching these sources for axes, did
    you notice any that offered exceptional deals on drums?
    
    I'm looking for a mail order company with a good selection,
    reasonable prices, and who won't kill me with handling charges.
    
    
     thanks

| 411.6 | Mandolin Brothers | CUJO::MALKOSKI |  | Fri Dec 11 1987 16:19 | 18 | 
|  |     You might try: 
    The Mandolin Brothers
    629 Forest Ave
    Staten Island, NY 10310
    (718)  981-3226
    
    They carry new Martins, Taylors, Guilds, Santa Cruz, Ovation
    and Gibson, along with a number of less expensive lines.  They
    also carry a lot of vintage stuff - mandolins, guitars and
    banjos.  While they stress acoustics, they do carry electrics
    too and do a lot of business through the mail.  Their average
    discount is good - 41% off list price of Martins, Guilds and
    Ovations.  I've ordered a number of things through them over the
    years.  Mention me if you talk to Stan Jay, the owner.  You 
    can call or write to get their catalog.

| 411.8 | East Coast vs Profound Sound | ANGORA::JACQUES |  | Mon Dec 14 1987 12:44 | 14 | 
|  |     I called 2 places this morning for prices on a Galien Krueger
    250ml amp. Profound Sound (Kansas) wants 529.oo for them. I
    also called East Coast Sound (Danbury,Conn). They are asking
    479.oo for the same amp. That is a pretty big difference (50.oo)
    East Coast is also much closer to New England. Only a 2 hour ride
    from Worcester. The guy at East Coast said I'd be better off having
    it mailed, otherwise I would have to pay the 7.5% Conn. sales tax.
    I haven't tried any other mail order places. What I might do is
    use these prices as leverage, and try to pry a decent price out
    of someone local.

| 411.9 | Try the Music Gallery in IL. | AKAMAI::BOUCHARD | OA$SURF | Sun Apr 24 1988 17:04 | 14 | 
|  |     I'm not sure how much mail order business they do however, I have
    had very good success dealing with the folks at the Music Gallery
    in Highwood, IL.  312-432-6350.  Ask for Frank (the owner) and tell
    him I sent you.  I have dealt w/ numerous music dealers through
    the years (in various parts of the country) and have found the Gallery
    to be more competitive pricing wise then any other dealer. Plus,
    they BACK what they sell.  For example, about 8 years ago, I purchased
    a small Sure P.A. board.  I used the board for 3 months and was
    not satisfied with it.  I explained my dillema to Frank.  He took
    it back w/ no questions asked and gave me a full refund.  Nice guy
    to do business with.

|  |     Anyone ever deal with PMI out of New Jersey?  They send me their
    catalog every year but I've never purchsed anything from them.
    
    They carry:  Marshall, Fender (amps & guitars), Laney, Gibson, Guild,
    Ibanez, Boss, Ludwig, Pearl, Korg, Yamaha, and many others that
    I can't recall.

|  | I called Profound Sound this morning.  Here are some current
offerings:
ART SGE                       $  495
Mesa Boogie Simul-Class 295   $1,050
Roland SDE1000                $  250  (they said they're blowing these
                                         out)
They don't carry Metaltronix, but he said a friend of his does and is
trying to get rid of them.  Also, Shane no longer works for them.

       I've had one bad experience with Thoroughdread Music.
    
      I ordered a midi-merge through someone who's name starts with
    a Sh and ends with an e.
      Fine and dandy. A week later and still no merger!.
      I call back and he sez " Oh. We're out of stock. An order is in."
    
     I won't take this kind of crap. So I call the Sh**e's manager and
    ball him out, then cancel my order.
    
      I called up Caruso Music and had the merger in **two** days, mail
    order.

|  |     I had an awful experience with Music Emporium.  I ordered a Marshall
    100W head from them once.  I called ion the order and they said
    they had them in stock and would ship pronto.  I wait 3 weeks only
    to get a back order slip !  I called them and they said it would
    be at least another 6-8 weeks !  My check had long since cleared
    the bank too.  I had to talk to several people there and threaten
    legal action before they would refund my money.
    
    I also ordered a Marshall T-shirt from them, specified BLACK, got
    purple with yellow letters ..... 8^(       Never again folks ...

    Back when I was using Hiwatt amps, I ordered one through them.  The
    first one came with the tubes smashed and the transformer having by its

    I have ordered from East Coast Sound and Sam Ash with very good
    results.  I will say that another noter had trouble with East Coast
    over a repair issue on a new piece, though (he wanted a new unit, they 
    wanted to fix the one he had).  
    
    BTW, East Coast's catalog says $100 minimum for charges, my dealings
    with them were for more $$ so that issue never arose.  MA noters, they
    have opened a showroom in the Hartford, CT area, if you want to go
    browse.

	1-800-800-4654          -relatively fast shipping, located
				-in Tampa, Fl.
	Musician's Friend	-they work with their catalog prices
	1-800-776-5173		which you can get by calling.
				-some of their prices are good
				-helpful salespeople
	Sam Ash			-'lets make a deal' cutthroat place
	1-800-472-6274		-at times i doubt the credibility of
				-their salespeople
				-some of the best prices, though
	Sound Southwest		-good prices
	1-800-342-4327		-they say they'll beat any offer
Good luck.

| 411.38 | Can I return these speakers for cash back? | COGITO::SULLIVAN | Singing for our lives | Wed Oct 23 1991 10:29 | 15 | 
|  |     
    Does anyone know Sam Ash's return policy?  I just ordered some EV S100
    PA speakers (haven't arrived yet), and (of course) yesterday I saw some
    used Bose speakers - the ones I'd been hoping to find but had given up
    on - for less that I paid for the new EVs.  If Sam Ash has a money-back
    guarantee like Musician's Friend, I might return the EVs and buy the 
    Bose speakers (going to listen to them at Lunch today).  Feel free to
    tell me I'm crazy if you think I'm crazy.
    
    Justine
    
    ps  I'm going to be using these speakers for folk music - guitar and
    vocals, no bass, drums and probably no keys, so I don't need a lot of
    "bottom," and I really like the clean sound of both the Bose and the
    EV S100.

|  |     Mikey - You must've dialed it wrong. They're still there. In fact, I
    ordered some stuff from them just last week. I also just tried the
    number and it was they who answered it. Maybe the AZ sun gettin to ya?

    None of these offer any really outstanding deals (except for Carvin,
    but they're a different story anyway), but the catalogs are good
    reference sources for those times when you need to know about a piece
    of software (whoops, sorry - thought I was in COMMUSIC for a moment) or
    hardware.

|  |     You might also try Suncoast Music Distributing.  They have a large
    catalog they send out periodically.  (813)822-4949
    
    They have a very large selection of drums and drum accessories as well
    as all the other standard stuff.

|  |     I jes got a new copy of Musicians' Friend yesterday.  Anybody vouch for
    the quality if the Charvel acoustic/electric guitars they sell?  I
    noticed a nice looking axe for about $329; I'd love to have an acoustic
    electric, but I've NEVER bought an axe mail order.  Are the Charvels in
    the same quality class as the Takamine's?  I believe I'd like a
    "Takamine class" acoustic/electric.....
    
    Opinions/facts?

|  |    FYI, "Profound Sound" mentioned in earlier notes here appears to be out of
   business.  At least the 800 number listed for them doesn't work.  If
   they're still around would someone post the new number?
   Ditto on Sound Southwest.

|  | Got a new catalog in the mail over the weekend, from a place called Capital
Supply. Looks like they're based in Montana (or does "MO" stand for Missouri?).
Prices seem to be competitive with other mail order catalogs, or better.
For instance, the SM-57 mike is listed for $82, which is about the best
I've seen.
They're number is 1-800-654-9393. Feel free to send me mail (or post here) 
if you have any questions about specific products, I'll look 'em up for
ya.
General product lines:
	Mikes - AKG, Shure, Sennheiser, Samson, Nady
	Guitars - Stephen's, Washburn, Charvel, Jackson, Valley Arts, 
		  Ovation, Jasmine (Takamine)
	Effects - Digitech, Boss, Rockman, Furman, Korg, dbx, Zoom, 
		  Sansamp, Behringer, t.c. electronics, ART
	Amps - Hartke, GK, Ross, Marshall, Park, Seymour Duncan, Attack
	PA - Cerwin Vega, Soundtech, Klipsch, Crown, BGW, Hot Spot
	Recording - Fostex, Sony (DATs), Tannoy, SKB (racks/cases)
Didn't see *any* keyboards listed in there....

    Missouri.  I also called 'em for a catalog.  The guy quoted me
    $474/pair for a set of Tannoy PBM-8 monitors.  Seems pretty good to me.

|  |     A little feedback on service....
    
    I called in my first order to Stewart-McDonald last week; I needed a
    black Tele pickguard for me and some quality tuners and speed knobs to
    upgrade my wife's electric bass.
    
    The operator was *very* courteous and helpful, especially since I was
    ordering from a borrowed old (1992!) catalog; I paid for the order
    with my Visa .... and the order was in my hands within three DAYS!
    
    Now THAT'S what I call service....and I'm already drooling over the
    brand new catalog they sent me!  8^)
    
    						--Eric--
    
    P.S. The Gotoh tuners for the bass are great!  Not too costly, and
    smooooooth operating.

I'm diddling around with HTML, and have a home page
(http://kdx200.cxo.dec.com/coops_place.html)
From this page, I have all the cool jump sites (like

Looks like corporate IP is still screwed up tho, so be
patient if you don't get to me.

|  |     Well, I finally got bit by the mail order biz after years of using
    them.  Sam Ash sent me a PL-8 instead of the PL+ ;-(  Now I gotta wait
    even longer.
