Yes, I have bought from them both in store and by phone and the service is the best! Highly recommended.
I've bought six basses and a preamp from them. Always pleased with the products and the service. I've always dealt with Beaver, who has done well by me. By the way, all these sales were by phone, everything had to be shipped, and everything arrived in a timely manner, well-packed, and undamaged. What more could one ask for?
Great company. I purchased a bass guitar several months back and decided that I didn't like it. Thus, after a few days playing with it, I returned it without any problems; although I paid the return freight and re-stocking charges (which is normal).
I also purchased a couple Bergantino A112 cabinets and love them.
I am not sure, but check to see if they are still offering a 5% discount to TalkBass members (discount doesn't apply to all products - like my Bergantino's).
Good luck on your new bass. What are you getting?
P.S. I also dealt with Beaver; in addition to a guy named "Grasshopper". Great people to work with!!!

I have purchased two basses from them in the last year. They are great guys do deal with. I will buy from them again.
I've bought 3 basses from them. One in store and a couple were shipped to me to Florida. I also had them order some parts for me they didn't stock but were listed as dealers for. Great people.
Just bought a Sadowsky from BC. Truly great service both before and after the sale. I was helped by Angela, just excellent!

I had purchased 2 bases over the phone from Beaver. Great guy, and easy transaction. I did have a fiasco with a lay-a-way once. That was partially my fault, but was a little miffed. Just stay on top of ALL lay-a-ways.

This past year I bought 3 basses from them and will buy more. They are great people to deal with and I highly recommend them.
I bought my buzzard from them. I thought that they were outstanding, pricing was reasonable and they were good to deal with in general.
Didn't buy just emailed some questions once. Fast and knowledgeable reply from Beaver. I felt special.
Time to break up this party. Flame me all you want.
They have great, responsive service. I swapped over 40 emails for my last purchase at BC, and their replies came extremely fast.
When all was said and done, however, the "new" Lakland I bought from them had worn frets all over the neck, and it came with a ski slope near 15th fret. Took a good fret job to fix the problem (because Lakland's warranty didn't cover it).
What's interesting is that it came with a non-standard pickguard, but THAT was brand new, as far as I could tell, and it still had the clear plastic over it.
Take my story however way you want. My anecdote's just a drop in the bucket. Even I don't know how to feel about this whole ordeal. Thankfully, at the end of the day, my bass is still a keeper!

I purchased my white Spector Euro LX from Beaver. He worked with me on the pricing, answered all my inquires quickly & accurately, and overall it was a very enjoyable & worry free mail-order purchase.
Highly recommended, and I would buy from them again.
