....Just wow

Free new bass with every case of shells?

Honey... I'm going to Walmart To pick up milk and Lakland.

 

[SanDiegoHarry]

Exactly. I spent hours a day setting basses/guitars up in every price range to be sure they were ready for the public when I was in the business. Not seeing that level of commitment or profinciency in many places today. Those new to music are the ones missing out. "Gee, maybe there's an App to fix that..."

Um, no.

Oy - don't get me started. Everything must be cheap - or free - and must happen NOW.

Kids these days...

Bah, it's not an age thing. I smelled this rat when I was 15... My son is 11 and spotted it w/o myhelp.

Are people really that naive to not understand how online markets work? That Lakland is clearly being sold from Music123. Win win for both. Music123 gets additional exposure while Walmart gets a hosting fee. Nothing new at all.

Best Buy used to sell instruments in-store and online as an actual dealer. That was a terrible experiment for them.

But they don't have cars.

More stores are doing this. But I would bet that these are not exactly the cream of the crop.

I think this is extremely long shot as you would not shopping for wedding dress at Home Depot.

Apparently so, from some of the comments here.

 

[Mason Nagy]

Seriously, Walmart is becoming like Amazon. They sell through third parties.

You are right. If you look at the details it says it is sold through Music123 which is an affiliate of Guitar Center/Musicians Friend which is very similar to Amazon.

 

[Blueinred]

I wouldn't be surprised if Lakland has no hand or say in this once Music123 takes possession of a bass.

So is this bass among the rare items to be found at Walmart that are actually manufactured in the USA?

The free shipping really makes it worth it.

I wonder what the customer service & any warranty stuff is like?

I prefer a music store--where they know what they are doing.

 

[Killed_by_Death]

I buy some gear through Walmart, mostly because of their return policy, but also because they're 3 miles from home
Music123 has supplied me with an amp stand and a tuner via Walmart & the odd thing was the price through Walmart was cheaper than buying direct from Music123
AFAIK Music123, GC, & Musician's Friend are all the same place at the corporate level

Costco also offers the Lakland, but you have to buy a bundle of 12.
