Just wanted to give Riks Music a huge thumbs up! Just ordered my BBE preamp through them and not only was the price right but they got it shipped the same day (order was placed in the afternoon) had a tracking number to me the same day and then today I received a thank you email from them for my business. All I can say is -customer for life-. www.riksmusic.com I will also give a review on the BBE when it is received.
Riks is awesome. Good folks, killer prices. It's kind of a different thing though. You have to know exactly what you want and they do charge a restocking fee. If you want the "full-service consultancy", you're better off at BassNW, BassCentral, etc.
I had a great experience with Riks about two years ago. They're price on my bass cab beat out everyone BY FAR. I always check them out first when price shopping, and so long as they carry what I'm looking for, they always win.
