L&M have to be the worst chain I've ever dealt with. They have horrible policies and prices... the only reason I ever buy from them is that sometimes they have an item that can't be found elsewhere.
They have virtually all of their stock on the floor at all times, I've seen multiples of the same instruments/amps on the wall or floor, being touched by everyone. Their rental dept is shoddy too, things aren't tested when they return, once we rented a keyboard amp for a wedding we were doing, and ended up having to lug our PA to the gig because the amp didn't work and L&M were closed. When we returned it and complained, they said it was their policy to give us a free rental instead of our money back because they didn't know it wasn't working before it left L&M??? Of course I told them that I was getting a refund or else, and they relented.
Another time, I had my rectoverb (which I bought from them used under warranty) lose the ability to switch channels altogether. I sent it in for repair, they said 2 weeks turn around. I knew the amp tech's phone number so after 2 weeks, and no amp, I called him directly. He said that he didn't even know it was coming in yet and he had about 3 weeks worth of work ahead of him. geez... So I called L&M and they said they only send out the amps on certain days of the month and I was a bit late so they were waiting for the next day. I called another amp tech I know and paid to get it fixed.
I repeat, do not buy anything from L&M unless it's under warranty.. plain and simple. Do not buy L&M's extended warranty. If you have had some good service from your local one, then that's good, keep dealing with them, but remember they are a big chain, and you are only one fish in the sea of many to them.
In the end, I should of never traded the DC-5 for it. The DC-5 served me well for years,,I just wanted to upgrade to bigger and better. The Nomad has too many options and not enough results. Not the ones and looking for anyway.
