Music Box The

Don`t be fooled by that old stereotype of the expensive and snobby local music shop! The folks at MUSIC BOX,Lodi are knowledgable,friendly and extremely easy to talk to. I`m telling you,THE MUSIC BOX is the only place you need to shop at because they`re local (yay!), you will get HONEST and EXPERIENCED advice & information and their prices actually rival those of the "big box" music stores. As a beginning (self-taught) hobbist bass player I was worried I would`nt be taken seriously at a "real" music store. They treated me like a king and made me completely comfortable. No question you can ask is too simple or too dumb and you`ll dig the friendly atmosphere that pervades the Music Box employees (and fellow customers). \r \r On my first visit I had a set of Ernie Ball Slinkys put on my used Squier P-bass and the gentleman had it done that afternoon AND he checked the intonation,neck truss rod and adjusted the action for me ( he pretty much gave my bass a set up) and then ONLY charged m more

The guys here are honest, great people. Every time I go they have consistently helped me to find exactly what I need. Unlike some huge corporation, not only do these guys not try to rip you off but they will tell you if there's a cheaper product that will accomplish what you are trying to do. I've even heard that they'll match the price of anything they have you could get from Musician's Friend. As a keyboarder and pianist primarily, I am slightly disappointed they don't carry any keyboards. However, they have all the recording equipment and guitar paraphernalia I need at a great price, and their guitar collection is incredible for a local store. Lastly, the guys who work here are almost unrealistically genuine. You can really believe that this is what they love doing when you see them playing guitar (if they're not busy) and hear their great advice. Five stars. more

I went into the Music Box because I needed a metronome. I asked the staff...and they pointed me in the right direction. When I walked into the store there was someone playing the guitar and it was nice to hear music in a music store! more
