Best online store for GK MB212?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys, I am finally going to be picking one of these up. It seems the price is the same everywhere $699 plus free shipping. Is there a place you would recommend for purchase for some reason? I can't pick one up local.

John, my friend!! How are you? So you decided to pick up the MB212, I think you'll love it. Half of the on-line stores are owned by the same company anyway....but I'd use Musician's Friend. Free shipping, no sales tax in most states (not sure about Canada). And I have never had a problem returning something if it isn't right.
I have an MB212, and I bought it from MF. Let us know how you like it!

Thanks for the input, Gary.

I will be picking it up in Florida actually. I will be on vacation going to see my father.

Take care!

Absolutely!

Only downside is if you want to return it just because you don't like it. Otherwise, Erik @ RMC will take care of you!!

+1 for Musicians Friend and comparable e-tailers. Assuming the price is the same (and if it isn't they'll match it) you can't beat the 45 day return-for-any-reason policy.

Duh, that's right...I had forgotten that MF, ZZounds, etc. will all meet any advertised price....and with the 45 day return policy, you can't beat them.

Friends don't let friends pay retail....find a coupon, or buy from RMCAudioDirect.

Quick story... I bought a "used" one from MF for $529 shipped I believe. It was sold as "as new". I got it and it was trashed. Called MF and they sent me a factory new one as the replacement. MF does have wonderful service.

Guys, I don't see it at RMC audio for that price, I see it at the same price as MF.

Here is the link:Gallien Krueger MB 212 Bass Combo Amp - www.rmcaudiodirect.com

Am I missing something?

MF meets and beats competitors by a few dollars, too.

You have to click on the Request a Quote button, fill out the form, and they will email you a lower price. They are not allowed by the manufacturers to openly advertise below a certain price.

Thanks guys, I used the RMC Audio angle and got MF to go down to $622. You saved me $77, it is really appreciated!

Take care and thanks again!

That's what I was going to suggest. I bought a Sennhesier wireless from them several years ago and save close to $100

Hi all! I had to return the first two combos because of issues. Finally, the third one did not have issues.

MF was great throughout the whole ordeal, I'm glad I went with them.

Thanks for your help, guys!

+1. I returned two MB115s. The first one had shipping damage (not GKs fault to be fair), the second one had a tweeter issue. I will not order another one.

Too bad, it was a great amp.
