Music 6000

They were amazing helped with my bass. Fix it in a timely manner. Plays great.

I was looking for a Violin Mic. Not a common request. Nor would it be a large sale. Of course, it would have to be a special order. I left feeling like it would be a huge hassle for the sales team to take care of my needs.

I've been going to Music 6000 since the early days and year over year they provide both excellent equipment and service and outstanding expertise. Love this place.

Great stuff to do great things with. I especially appreciate their humidity controlled acoustic guitar room. I bought a Taylor guitar there and I love it. Your milage may vary I been back to buy a Roland Go Keys. Don't worry we got the last one.

It's one of the only music stores in town. The guys that work there are pretty nice. Their guitars are nice. I like this place a lot.

This is the best music shop in the world. I cannot say enough good things about the owners, staff and the stock. Wonderful customer service and community!

I've bought several guitars from here over the last 20+ years. Great customer service! The team is very knowledgeable. Top quality gear from Gibson and Fender etc. Check them out!

Love this place. Great staff. Friendly, unintimidating atmosphere. (Come if you love music and want to improve. Go somewhere else if you are trying to show off.) Good prices. Knowledgeable staff. Definitely worth supporting this local biz.

Music 6000 is a fun place to shop for guitars and other instruments. They sell Taylor guitars, but if you want to go try those out, you have to ask permission to go into the room. The guitars are so expensive that they really want to keep those in top condition until they belong to a new owner. I always enjoy my visits to this place.

So I went there and sorta just was browsing and was just looking forward to jam so I could see like what sort of guitar I'd want for Christmas and this store definitely helped me decide. I went in and they greeted me almost immediately, every 10-15 minutes an employee would come and talk to me and they were all super friendly. I was there for around 2 hours just figuring out what guitar I really want and I played probably 15 guitars and I finally landed on A music man JP70 7- string and my mind was blown.

I now know what I want. Also the way this store is laid out is perfect I noticed that most local music stores have very very crowded spaces and this store had a nice open floor and even single rooms to play in. They had picks at the front, seats everywhere so you didn't even have to ask, the audio cords were already there as well and it was just a great experience and a great store.

Also the inventory is loadeddd, from 7 string guitars, 12 strings, Player Plus fenders, Gibsons, Epiphones, Ibanez, Dean, LTD, to keyboards and drums and hand pans. They have a ton of inventory and its laid out perfectly, the staff is great and no matter who you are and what you're looking for you're going to have a great experience. Thank you to everyone at Music 6000 who let me just play multiple instruments for 2 hours straight before I decided what I wanted.

I've been shopping at Music 6000 for over 20 years. They have been good in the past and if you are buying small items, things are fine. I had the unfortunately experience lately of trying to consign a few items at their store half of which I purchased there in the past. Whoever said the older staff are sometimes rude is correct. I was told to remove all of my items in the store and that they were 'burdened' with selling my equipment which was either junk or broken.

My equipment literally sat for 4 weeks while I left them alone to price and put the items out on the floor. Never did I get a call back from the owner after wanting to talk politely about this issue. I think this store has seen better days. Just pick up the phone guys and lets have a conversation.

I first shopped at Music 6 in the early 90's, it was my favorite music store then, and still is today. The customer service is great, the level of expertise and knowledge from the employees is phenomenal. Among the the many purchases I have made there I was recently able to get the guitar of my dreams (Les Paul Standard 60's edition). The knowledgeable and friendly staff helped me to get exactly what I wanted with no pressure if gimmicky sales pitch. It's a must stop and visit type of music store, if you are in Olympia and enjoy playing music.

I took my friends amp here to be repaired as a gift. The tech called me and accused me of stealing the amp and he would not work on it. I called and explained how it was a surprise for my friend and I wanted it repaired. Recieved a call from music 6000 saying the amp was fixed and ready for pickup. I wasn't able to make it in myself so I called my friend and he was excited to go get it!

They charged him for the service. And then explained that they didn't actually fix it because they deemed it not worth it. Which was never explained to me. I asked them to repair it regardless of the cost. It was an amp with sentimental value. So after my friend left with a broken amp he had to pay for. I called. I asked for an exlenationtion of the miscommunication and what it would take to fix it after all.

The girl on the phone accused me of trying to pick a fight. Simply by asking how we could fix this. And admittedly it was a bit frustrating being told it was fixed and done. Only to pay and find out they didn't do anything to it. (I was very nice on the phone. Its what I do for a living) She continued out of no where telling me how she felt "threatened and triggered." With the final statement of "I'm terminating this phone call" And hung up on me.

Now I have a broken amp and paid for nothing. Really sad. I used to shop here all the time and even knew the owners. I would have paid more than what a new amp costs just to get this one fixed. But that girl wouldn't even give me the time of day and kept talking over me about how threatened she felt. Which I must say is hilarious and a tad bit sad.

Unfortunately I think I will take my business elsewhere. And after sharing about my experience, few friends of mine and business I associate with feel the same. You can get better work done by some Joe shmo on Craigslist rather than here. -Jeremy Peash.

Wonderful store, knowledgeable staff, quality merch. Rentals and sales. They should have all your music and lighting needs covered here. So glad I didn't order substandard junk from Amazon.

Dave in percussion was super helpful finding the perfect djembe for me. Their wide selection of instruments was impressive. Definitely recommend

I have dealt with Jeff, the owner of Music 6000 for 1 year. He has sold several instruments for me on consignment. I am very happy with the service he has provided me because I know what to expect and I know the value of the merchandise I wish to sell. Jeff knows his business and negotiates aggressively but in the end, you can come terms with him.

That is how all business should be conducted. His store is beautiful and the grounds and parking lot at his wonderful location are very nicely kept. It is a joy to still be able to do business at a local music store. Dave, their authorized Fender repairman, has done 2 warranty jobs on 2 separate guitars for me and I couldn't have been more pleased with the result and his professionalism.

My new favorite music store! Excellent experience! Very nice selection of guitars and amps! The owner was very informative and excellent to work with. Gave me an exceptional deal on my new PRS! I am now a customer for life.

Not only unfriendly to novice artist.but color made a difference. Had no interest in my heart felt request for information and guidance.

Some of the older staff members can be quite rude, and based on some other reviews it looks tp be a common trend. I will no longer be shopping here because of this

Started going here when son needed a rental for band. Now it's a granddaughter who wants to learn music. These people are a great resource for advice on instruments and for music instructors' names. And they carry everything. Was guided to a particular Yamaha keyboard and was considering getting one from an online source, then I remembered getting a broken keyboard once through the mail. I think I'll go back to Music 6000 and pay for a new one undamaged.

I took my nephew to purchase a new instrument and the customer service was terrible. First, the sales woman told us they had to buy the broken case with the $400 instrument, offering to glue it upon purchase. When asked if there was new different case, she laughed at me. Again, when we asked how to assemble the instrument because this was the first time my nephew had held the band instrument, she scoffed and said, "I'm not a teacher." I am so disappointed in the experience because this store is where I bought my first saxophone.

The experience was so fond that I was excited to go with my nephew for his first instrument. We left without purchasing the instrument because of how cold and rude the sales associated had been to them. The reviews for guitar selection might be decent, but a good selection will not replace poor and rude customer service.

The selection is great. They have a few really shite employees who make my life harder every time I go in there. I'd like to add they also have great ones. Forrest is especially good. There's just a few who are always in the way of me making purchases on things I'm well educated on because of their personal opinions. Sometimes they waste my time telling me about why I shouldn't get it just to find out they don't have it in stock anyway.

So I have to wait through the pompous mouth flapping for fifteen minutes to find out a simple two letter answer "no". Man I'm a working musician here to get my supplies. Don't stand in my way.

Went to purchase a Uke today and the customer service was terrible. I had to ask the guy from behind the desk to help and then he did not know anything about the products there. I want to support local but when you are treated like an in convience it is difficult to support!

If you live in the lower Puget Sound this is the go-to place for your music supplies. I have purchased two high-end guitars there over the years. Their black Friday special offered a 15% discount. Sure you can find guitars cheaper on the internet but you won't be able to play them first. This is exceptionally important as every single guitar will sound and play a bit different than the next, even the same model.

The staff and owner are exceptionally knowledgeable accommodating and helped me narrow down the best guitar for me, lots of patience on their part. Been shopping there for 20 years hope to shop there for another 20 god willing and the Nisqually don't rise.

The guitar staff and selection, I give five stars. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the drum department. It's simple, really, they purchased my drum set, which had been stolen from my home, "hot", from some guy in a van. They paid almost nothing, since the criminal had no clue of its worth. Days after the burglary, I began searching the region for my stolen gear; I found the drum kit in their "used" section.

I called the Sheriff, and one came. I proved to the Deputy that the kit was one of a kind, and that it was mine. The stands and other hardware were there, but not the cymbals; all sets were displayed without cymbals; that was normal in the store. The drum manager could not seem to remember if cymbals had been with the kit when they bought it from the criminal.

He said he didn't "do the buy". (But it's his department, and he didn't try to find out.) I could actually see a stack of used cymbals in some back office, line of sight from the retail floor, leaning against a desk, but the manager refused to let me go look. I wonder to this day, why I didn't march into that office, pick up the cymbals, and say, "like these?".

The Sheriff told me, "Let me handle this", as police understandably do, and that if he found out later the guy was lying that it wouldn't go well for him. At any rate, the drums and stands were seized by the Sheriff's deputy, and went into evidence for the robbery and trafficking cases. Just got drums back this week, finally, it's been nearly a year - but that's another story.

The good news is that I can finally post about the Music 6000 Drum department. This post is backed up by police reports in my possession, and on record, so go ahead and bring a lawsuit against me. Happy to "go there". Again, the rest of the store is great. Guitar section - outstanding. They may not want to see me again after this post, but they are honest, friendly, and helpful.

One bad apple. I attempted to contact the owners about this, multiple times, but they never got back to me. Again, again, I encourage you to support their guitar staff - they are gold. Drums? Go someplace else.

I'm sorry to say i wasn't spoken to until I was halfway out of the door. There were at least 7 employees and maybe 2 customers and I didn't even get spoken to. I went to the guitar shop downtown oly and immediately purchased what I needed. Music 6000 not everyone is as relaxed as you are. Take care of the customers while you can. Guitar center may come this way soon.

Music 6000 is still my go-to music store for most everything I need. On a recent visit earlier this year, I was looking for a specific pedal board for guitar effects pedals. I knew exactly which one I wanted, but Music 6000 didn't have it in stock. They were able to order it, get it in quickly, and still give me a 5% military discount! Of course, while I was in the shop, I also found a guitar on a special I couldn't refuse : I've been in the store numerous times and the staff is always very knowledgeable about their product line. Their prices are decent. The selection is great! If you live in this area, look no further for music equipment!
