Home Depot for guitar gear? Seriously?

[Securb]

I was looking for a case for my Jackson bass, and Home Depot came up in the search results. Its a decent-looking case at a great price for a budget bass.

I got my Peavey Classic 20 on Walmart for much less than Sweetwater or MF with a free guitar cable.

I won't be expecting clerks at any of these stores to be able to answer any questions to my satisfaction.

I bought a Bugera G5 from Walmart for cheap

To be fair, the ones at Guitar Center can't, either.

Yea man Bass cases isle 2 above the drywall screws. If ya hit the schedule 40 drain pipe youve gone too far.

Once in a while, I will find a retired tradesman in Home Depot who knows his stuff. The kids working there are clueless.

Which is why I refer to it as the Ninth Circle of Hell Music.

Funny they call it "briefcase" As much as I'd love to stroll around Home Depot with a guitar case, 2 gallons of primer, and 10 ft 2x4s on a cart it's a ship to store only item. They have some cheapo student guitar kits too. Its like people said all these huge retailers trying to copy the amazon / ebay marketplace format. Walmart has some Duncans for sale online only by Musicians Friend, Macdaddy and others.

A plastic molded black and yellow DeWalt ATA guitar case would be pretty cool

Interesting they’re selling products to get you out of your home. I guess I should say “trying to sell.” I don’t think they move a lot of these.

Around here, that would have a better chance of being stolen than if it said 'Fender'.

Not QUITE the same, but I cobbled together a 'Ryobi' amplifier (based on an old Crate Taxi amp that no longer worked)

^I actually own a few Crate Limo amps I used to use for acoustic shows.
