I went to JB Music Megamall earlier to ask if they have a stock of a GCB95 wah pedal, they told me that they don't have any in a good manner but they said to me that they will get a unit in their warehouse. After waiting for 3 hours ( gumala muna ako sa mall) the pedal arrived. At last! may wah pedal na ako!

It seems that from the comments that has been posted in this thread...nagbago na ang mga music stores when it comes to approaching their patrons...hmmm I'm sure most of them are hanging in philmusic na and learning from the threads that we've posted nakatakot-takot na negative feedbacks ang natikman nila

. It's good to have philmusic around to upgrade the industries when it comes to clientelle relations! ayt!

JB Trinoma - Very accomodating. Thaks Sir Red and other crews.

JB North Edsa - Satisfactory.

RJ Makati - Satisfactory.

Perfect Pitch Makati - As usual, there's always a rude ambience when I enter there. Kahit saang branch pa ng Perfect Pitch yan. Nilapitan lang ako nung sinamahan ako ng parents ko. The only thing they knew to say is "Maganda po yan Sir, maganda tumunog." Hindi naman sa pagmamayabang pero mas alam ko pa nga yung specs ng gitara. Body, Specific Model, Neck Radius, etc. The prices are very high kahit na sale pa yan. Usually they will just sit there and ignore you. Pero kung mukhang may pera yung pumasok, alam na. Sorry pero naasar lang talaga ako. I never had a very good experience in Perfect Pitch.

Yamaha Makati - Satisfactory.

Yamaha MoA - Ang sama nung tingin nung hinawakan lang ng friend ko yung gitara. As usual, they just ignored us.

Yupangco Main Branch - Approachable and Accomodating. Daming Fenders! Considering the price range, as usual higher than I expected. Nagkataon nga nung unang punta ko, yung mga Made in Mexico na Fender Standard ay nasa 32k at yung Stratocaster na naka-floyd ay 24K. I immediately informed them at napansin naman agad nila na mali nga yung mga nakalagay na prices. Anyway, salamat sa pag-entertain. The guitars are well organized and very well displayed and maintained.

Audiophile MoA - Very accomodating.

Audiophile North Edsa - Depende sa crew, either si Mr. Long Hair (OK) o si Mr. Bald (wala lang).

Lazer North Edsa - Very accomodating. Kilala na nga kami dun eh. Comment ko lang eh sana ayusin nila yung pag-display at pag-organize ng guitars nila especially Greg Bennett kasi sila na yung may hawak dun. Na-notice ko lang kasi na kapag may nagtetest, madalas tumatama sa ibang gitara na nakadisplay din. Sayang.

The Music Source - Very accomodating, very approachable, very knowledgeable. Thanks Sir Daks and Ma'am. Basta si Ma'am. Reasonable naman yung mga prices nila.

Guys, just wondering, nasaan yung PJC Music? What do they sell there? Ano din yung The Music Source and Sound Essentials? Ano nandun?

@ .Geno. - I guess you're referring to ate Joy. A couple of years ago,when I first visited TMS, she let me try almost everything that caught my attention (including that all-tube Ampeg!!

) a very nice person! <slightly OT> she's a bassist FYI. Si Dax tambay lang dun yun!

@ mr. jrpalomo - PJC is at J. Vargas ave. in Ortigas Center (within the Home Depot compound). They have Schecter, Music Man, PRS, and all other high-end gear. Ayos dun, approachable yung attendant (Agnes ata name), and of course, the owner

(pwede ba testing yung Lancer Evo X? joke lang boss PJ!

)

The Music Source is currently at EDSA-Muñoz, between Walter Mart and SM North, but they are moving anytime this month daw in Ali Mall Cubao. They have Aria, Stagg, Crate, Artec, Hayden to name a few. Sound Essentials is in MOA right?

ayos sa jb southmall. very helpful staff

kune_km · « **Reply #35 on:** March 31, 2009, 10:41:55 AM »

Audiophile Paco - ok ang customer service, lalo na si raymond(sol) pwede mag test ng gears kahit di pa naman bibili. ang mentality kasi siguro nila, maybe ngayon wala ka pa pambili pero pagnasubukan mo yung gears nila, maga-GAS attack ka at paghahandaan para mabili.

Audiophile Pioneer - ok din si mang lito

Yamaha Park Square - ok jan yung drummer, si eric

Audiophile MOA - ok din

Audiophile North Edsa - ok din

SPL / Music Source - mababait and accommodative

RJ MOA - mabait naman pero di nila kabisado produkto nila

Perfect Pitch North Edsa - ok yung babaeng store manager yata nila yun

Yamaha MOA - snobbish yung iba jan, meron din namang accommodative, depende siguro sa mood nila nung araw ng pag-visit.

Sound Essentials? Well they have straps, video instructionals, gig bags, tabs etc....

freefromsin · « **Reply #37 on:** March 31, 2009, 12:46:30 PM »

Ako naman i have a good experience with jb music megamall dun ko binili lahat ng gear ko. Accomodating sakin sobra sila sir Chris yung store manager lang ang medyo masungit. Pero siguro kaya sila naging accomodating dahil dun namin binili yung lahat ng equipment sa church namin. Kala ata nila ako nagdecide na dun bumili. Everytime na punta kami dun pwede ako magtest kahit gano katagal (within reason syempre).

Audio Studio sa Megamol, kahit gaano ako katagal magtanong tanong or mag test, accommodating pa rin. siguro mga 1 oras ako nag test ng mga weeping demon at mga digitech pedals dati dun, tapos di ako bumili. kung anu ano pang gitara ginamit ko.

sa JB Megamol, parang ayaw ng mga tao magpa test ng gamit. parang umpisa pa lang, alam na nila na di ako bibili

Yung Behringer sa Megamol, ok rin. Alam ng mga staff nila kung saan based yung mga effects.

raybrig · « **Reply #44 on:** April 01, 2009, 11:25:29 AM »

In no particular order:

Music source (edsa): Pagpasok pa lang warm welcome kagad! Tinanong ko lang yun ampeg amps nila, ayun tinuro at ang sabi "sir banatan mo na, kahit sagad mo pa volume!" Ayos e!

Audiophile Pioneer: sir lito is da man! I ordered my Vox ad50VT there, sabi ko kung pupwede brand new, aba sya pa talaga nag uupdate sakin! Very accomodating. Yun mga staffs all smiles pa, pati un guard e!

Audiophile Moa: Si James saka un parang boss (tsk forgot the name, he deserves credit) sobrang ok. Pinahawak sakin un prestige series and...

sa sobrang hiya ko sabi ko ikaw na lang ang mag play hehe (im not worthy!)

Yun iba next time hehe.

Sound and Music People - accomodating naman ung clerk dun. minsan pa lang akong napupunta dun eh so sana laging ganun.

The Music Source - Mabait at nagtiyatiyaga sina Phin, Joy at ung isa pang mejo long hair na nagaasist. Pati guard smiling face.

Ok availability ng mga stocks nila.

Perfect Pitch North - Maayos naman si long hair na naggigitara. Kahit di pa ako bumibili dun for many many years na. di mahirap magtest ng gear dun dahil sa positioning

JB North - dati nakakaasar mukha ni manager na matanda. pero maayos naman kausap eh. me mukhang maangas na clerk pero me mga bumabati naman lalo na kung di sila busy. patong patong ang amps. parang mahirap magtest lalo na sa malalaking amps. kasi nasa ilalim.

lazer north - dun lang kasi ako nakakabili ng sticks/Alice strings so no choice. ok na rin.. minsan me mukhang maangas. pero ayos lang. baka itsura lang nila un. sana..

lyric north - di ko type personality ng mga ale. kahit si mama, pero oks lang. sinasagot naman ang tanong ko eh. i buy stuff there pero alis kagad. di comfortable eh. mahal din paninda nila diba?

rj north - feeling ko galing sa ibang branch ung mga nandun. di maganda experiences ko lagi sa ibang branches so sana di na sila ganun sa north. ive tested a taylor acoustic. inaccomodate ako pero sandali lang ako dun kasi di ako comfortable. siguro dahil mamahalin ung tinesting ko kaya natakot akong makadamage

audiophile north - di pako nakakapunta. meron pa ba? sarado na carpark eh.

yamaha north - konti stock. boring sa akin ung store.

jb trinoma - accomodating. parang konti ang stocks.

dudeofdude · « **Reply #46 on:** April 10, 2009, 07:29:25 PM »

eto may bago
lazer market! market!- hindi manlang ako makapagtanong nga maayos, deym.
jb MOA- accommodating pupuntahan at hahanapin pa nila yung product mismo unlike jb megamall na ituturo lang kung saan

kurt_morello · « **Reply #47 on:** April 10, 2009, 10:26:45 PM »

Ok din sa JB Music ATC at MOA, lakas magbigay ng discount!!

Saka madami ka matutunan. depende na din siguro kung sino tao dun..

lemon15 · « **Reply #48 on:** April 11, 2009, 10:26:38 AM »

The Music Source sobrang inaccomodate kami ni sir(Drummer ni Rico Blanco). Tapos aasikasuhin ka talaga.
