    ive never really had problems with guitarcenter...

    when buying my traktor scratch pro ( i showed a price match of an educational version)
    and they accepted it so I got it for about 300 at the time...(non-educational to0)

    Also, went in to buy 2 MACKIE SRM 450's @ 600 each
    the guy gave them to me for 500 each (saved 200$) cause i said i had a promo card they mailed in..so he just went online and got the cheapest price possible (wasnt even an authorized dealer)

    Well I guess its a flip of the coin on which GC is really good at keeping the customers happy. But in the Dallas Tx area you dont get shit!

    I have pro but every where I go people are using TSP so I thought I might as well pick it up and work with it. Myself I love using the midi controllers. But we all Need to evolve in the dj game.

    Yes, another large chain superstore fucking local economies in the face across the United States.

    I've actually never had a bad experience with them other than not finding what I'm looking for without a convoluted ordering and waiting process. For me that is not reason enough to push the smaller local shops out of business.

    It has an unpleasant atmosphere to me. I don't get the impression that a good number of their employees particularly enjoy their jobs.

    I do enjoy on occasion going in and having a play with the v-drum sets and synthesizers they have set up. I'd probably be a huge fan of the place if they sold beer.

    I would agree with you if they sold beer. But Im a diabetic so I still would have to say shit on GC. Just wish their were more music stores out there that could have items in stock for Djs. I mean hell their is enough guitars, basses, drums, or p.a. in stock. Why not help a dj out from time to time?

    If your going to order something maybe try that new DB music downtown? I don't know anything about them other than the owner was in my sons Boy Scout troop.

    Never had too much of a problem with GC. In fact, I have bought alot of my gear there. However, its really hit or miss as far as finding a rep with any gear knowledge, and some locations really do suck. The GC in East Brunswick, NJ is usually pretty good for anyone in the area. Plus, they will often cut you deals if you haggle with them. I got my apc40 a couple of weeks ago for 250, when it was still listed at 299 in the circular (not sure if its dropped officially or not). and you can't beat their performance guarantee plan.
