“I decided to upgrade the pickups on my Jackson RR to a...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 28/03/2011

I decided to upgrade the pickups on my Jackson RR to a set of EMG 81/60. They are very nice and I would reccomend them. But that is just about the only good theing I can say.



Bad Points: They said my pickups were in stock, when in fact they were not, and it took two weeks for one to arrive, and three for the other.



I ordered a cab for my amp from Thommann in Germany, and it arrived in 4 days. Clearly, bad service does not have to be tolerated.



The site is nigh unusable, and has got even worse since I bought my order. I cannot find the order tracking facility anymore, which was at least accessible when I bought my pickups.



Good Points: Admittedly, their prices are good, although don't be fooled by the supposed price drops which they offer. For example, GAK would show you a pedal they are selling for £65, and then tell you it normally retails for £95. This is a lie, nothing more, nothing less. Generally, £70 would be accurate for this sort of example in a high street music shop.



When the product finally arrived, it was as described and in perfect working order. This is nothing more than I had any right to expect, but at least it isn't a bad point.



Should you buy from GAK? If you intend on taking a holiday or are going in for surgery within the next six months, or have a terminal illness then no, no you shouldn't. If none of the above apply to you, and you don't mind waiting, then go ahead. But seriously, it is not an exaggeration to say: GAK - The online music shop for cryogenics!
