Title: OT: Where to buy instruments on the internet

I'm looking around for a 5-string bass, and I'm not satisifed with the selection at musicians friend, samash, or music123. What places have you all found that you've liked?

Well those are the major ones. I like Zzounds because of the low shipping and great service, but don't know about their bass selection.

personally - I'd never buy an instrument without playing it first..
even within mass-produced instruments, there seems to be quite a bit of variance from one to another.

That's just me, though - I'm picky (pun intended) about my guitars.

http://www.fatdawg.com/  has a decent selection of guitars at rather ridiculous prices.  He also has a one-week, no-questions-asked return policy.

Can't vouch for them personally, but it's hard to beat Rondo Music for price:

$150.00 for a 5-string bass? Sheesh!

I got myself a Toby Pro5 from Musicyo.com.
I played a couple of Tobias basses owned by a friend, and this one is up to all my expectations. Great bass for waay too little money.
hih
