Highly recommend AMS
Highly recommend AMS, they have 1- a great selection and big brand names. 2- payment plans with no credit check. 3- The gold standard for shipping speeds often free 2 day. So with all that why wouldn't someone give them their business? Sweetwater another great retailer really tries to drum up business and I told Caleb you know you don't get my business because I got turned down for a credit line yet AMS gives me affordable payment plans which is no different than credit line your just using a credit card for payments and guitar center gave me a gear card. I will go to AMS first but if they don't have it I usually go directly to guitar center. GC has the best prices on used gear often 20 to 30% lower than everywhere else, a joyo bantamp was $119 everywhere else $150+ and in rough shape, I bought a used katana gen 3 head for $450 and it looked litterly new everywhere else pushing $500, their shipping is pretty good but nothing like AMS, in all actuality sweetwater has the slowest shipping they could learn something from AMS everywhere, having a guy call you and say hey it's so n so from SW I'm your sales guy rep like he wants to be my buddy and help me out, sounds great but he's just telemarketing me with the just a regular guy good buddy angle, I'm not that gullible it's obvious.
