Hello Music

[adivin]

Anyone have experience with Hello Music and the quality of the basses from there? Is it a bunch of B stock quality?

I've bought several things from HelloMusic. Absolutely every bit as good as anything you get from a standard retailer like MF, etc. The warranty from HMusic is actually better than most of their competitors. This "B-stock" thing is an absolute myth perpetuated by people who don't know what they're talking about.

I haven’t bought any basses from there, but quite a few other items, and nothing appeared to be seconds, blemished, reboxed or anything short of what one would hope for from anywhere else.

That said, I rarely check the HM site out anymore, as their prices just don’t seem to be as good as in the past.

HM's prices are dependent on what deals are out there at the time. You gotta catch them when they happen. Very recently they had a Fender American Standard 3-tone sunburst bass priced at $898. The lowest prices anyone else has out there is $1,199. That's some pretty decent savings.
