Reaearch it, figure out what you wanna pay (be realistic) and go to a mom and pop shop. Not only is it better to give the small guy your business but they will probably work on the price for you.

OR

ebay

GC is ok if you are in a hurry but they sure charge your ass. The one good thing about them is you can get on their mailing lists and email and they will send you when they have their sales (and Ill give them that their sale prices can be damn good from time to time).

You CAN haggle at Guitar Center. My boss and I went in to buy a shit load of stuff and they gave it to us at near cost and one item at below cost (having NEVER bought from there before).

this. ive haggled w/ them on a number of things that didnt have more than 5% price difference with others that were advertised. theyve taken off anywhere from 10-15% off my generic sales on studio monitors, mics, and hardware

but anyway, cant find these for a deal on CL or eBay. after shipping they cost the same if not more



i wish i had hookups :sad:
