I bought a Cort G280 select for the bargain price of £248 and I'm happy about that. However, the guitar was the last one in stock and that usually in my experience means it's been returned by a customer. This was no exception as it wasn't packed correctly in the box and was covered in grubby fingerprints (the usual tell tale signs). I've bought quite a few guitars recently and have no problems with spending a bit of time setting them up. This guitar required two whole days of correcting lots of issues with it's playability as everything was totally off and needed adjusting. The top E string wasn't even connected to the tuning peg and was just flopping around in the box too. Now that it's all done, this is a really nice guitar. The pickups sound beautiful and strat like, with a clear bell like tones. The neck is super smooth and well finished and the guitar itself looks really classy. If it had arrived looking brand new and reasonably playable I would have given it five stars.

Ordered a lighting bridge truss. Arrived with no physical signs of any damage to the outer packaging. Started to assemble it only to find one of the clamping knobs damaged as well as one of the top hats. Immediately emailed customer service. After a few days and no reply (seems to be the normal), had no option but to put the stand into service (was bought for a job), and with no where to store the cardboard boxes, they were promptly put to recycling. Eventually a reply from Max -- they wanted the full thing back, just for the sake of a star knob and cap that would have fitted in a small envelope!!! Explained that the unit was now on a job and the packaging was gone, could they send just the replacement items -- was told NO!!! the full thing had to go back. What an absolute mega impact on the carbon footprint to send the very large boxes all the way back, to have a replacement one sent back out again, all for the sake of what could have been a very small box or Jiffy bag. Gave up trying to reason with Bax, and ordered replacements from Amazon. £9 for 12 of them!!. This is not the first time this has happened with stands from them. Will think seriously about ordering again due to poor customer service, considering the amount I have spent with them over the past couple of years.

Tracking didn't work during delivery and I had to phone when item didn't arrive on expected day, eventually arrived the next day. A little disappointed when I opened my outer packaging to find the inner packaging of my £850 purchase squashed at one end and also covered in dust. Surely a couple of minutes to inspect and clean the box before packing wouldn't be asking too much? Luckily there was no damage to the unit due to the manufacturers internal protection. Further disappointment when I unpacked to find it was fitted with a Euro plug instead of a UK 3 pin plug so I had to contact Bax Music again and am now waiting on delivery of the correct power lead before I can test my new purchase. Its the little details than can make all the difference.

Product and service as expected but guys, come-on. The packaging was way over size for the contents of a pack of strings and a string winder that I expected to arrive in a jiffy-bag style envelope. As such delivery was delayed beacuse the post-office couldn't deliver as I was out at work. I will definitely think twice before ordering again.

Guitar arrived inside a huge Bax box & would have been rattling around/should have been packed better.Nothing on outer box to say fragile or handle with care !. Good email communications & arrived on time.Outer box also damaged when received.Feel lucky all was ok.More care should have been taken.

I bought a table top music stand Konig & Meyer 12400. The item arrived later than expected as the delivery was advertised as Parcelforce 24. When it did arrive on January 8 the exterior package was compromised and a very large hole was present and the content (the stand itself) a much smaller box was rattling around inside as there was no packaging. So, someone thought it appropriate at Bax to send my item without packaging within an unnecessary very large box which I'm itself got torn opened. My wife accepted the package on my behalf as she thought she was doing the right thing. I wouldn't have. Is the music stand okay. Yes it is. But please more appropriate packaging.

it’s a great website and I got the exact product I was buying which is great! The downfall was the postage, I had hoped to receive it before Christmas and it was promised as to arrive before Christmas on the Thursday to be exact and it never arrived. It arrived on the Thursday the week after so it was a whole week late arriving! I was disappointed as was hoping to use it for Christmas.

Yo fellow rockers! I've been wanting a Kramer guitar forever! Finally got my chance to pick up a left handed Kramer striker from bax music. The guitar was extremely well packaged. a box in a box with a fabric cover. Looks awesome and exactly what I wanted. I read a lot of reviews online and through YouTube about the striker series having some QC issues and Unfortunately it seems my guitar didn't escape this problem. The action was set super high, turns out this is because some of the high 20 frets are dead. The 2 single coil pickups were wobbly and are tightened up properly so I'm not quite sure the issue here. the Top string is nearly off the fret-board at high frets, this is because the saddles have gaps where there shouldn't be gaps. Further investigation shows the screw holes have been badly done. Tuners were loose creating some buzz too. On the plus side, its a awesome looking guitar. I have remedied most of the issues by adjusting the truss rod in the neck. I'm guessing it was in storage for a long time and its warped the neck a little. The locking nut seems to have been fitted a bit high too so I may have to sand it down (though this would void any warranty - 3 years with bax) As this guitar has been discontinued in lefty form at least I've decided to keep it despite the issues. If you can set up guitars yourself, then its not too bad otherwise you need to put a fair amount of money aside for a luthier to set it up properly. The pickups are pretty good, floyd rose special seems ok so far and holds tuning pretty well. once ive got the relief in the neck correct i think it will play pretty nice and will likely fix the fret issues. Im debating getting these looked at by warranty though as they should be covered. If you can put up with the dodge QC then the guitars are awesome and pretty cheap. Probably shouldn't have the issues they have especially as Gibson own Kramer but I'm still relatively happy with my purchase. It's also worth pointing out that Bax themselves are nothing to do with the QC issues that are well documented online. Gibson should really address the issues! Happy to take Gibson LP as a apology 😁 Long live the 80's rock machines! if you want to see my unboxing and mild review then you can check it out at my YouTube channel https://youtu.be/iwjGug8onu4?si=OeiBWV7JTxh1TncP (drop me a like and Subscribe haha) and comment if you went there from my review

The DAP butterfly latches were perfect and at a killer price but the dispatch email, sent at 23:02 on 16th Oct informing me my package was on it's way with a delivery date of 19th, turned out to be incorrect; the package was actually delivered at 09:20 on 20th, which in itself wasn't a big deal because the latches were neither of high value nor needed in a hurry. HOWEVER - the package was sent via Parcel Force Express 24, the shipping lable was date-stamped 17/10/23 and Parcel Forces' tracking history shows the package wasn't scanned into their depot till 20:30 on 19th, almost three days later! This begs the question: where was the package between 23:02 on 16th and 22:30 on 19th? Was it lost somewhere in Bax's dispatch department (in which case Bax have a problem) or are Bax are charging customers for the Express 24 service they aren't receiving from Parcel Force - in which case Bax STILL have a problem. Judging by several other customers comments Bax need to have a look at what's going on with their shipping process. If this had been a high value item, or something needed the next day, I'd have been an unhappy and concerned customer.

I have bought two guitars now from Bax, both arrived later than advertised, i dont know why they just cant state the delivery will be four or five days from placement of order then people wont be annoyed when it doesnt arrive in the two day window they push on the listings. Bass arrived damaged, strap button was broken or sheared off, nowhere in the box so it wasn't during transit, poor quality control maybe at the factory who knows. The remnants of the screw was still in the body of the bass, Bax have offered to refund me completely if i return the bass, but i like the instrument so have carefully pulled the remnants out and fitted a new strap button. The first guitar i bought though was great and had no problems, apart from being late delivery as mentioned above.

No complaints with delivery as it was very fast and arrived on the scheduled day. The bass however did require a certain amount of work to get it into a playable condition. There was zero neck relief which meant that there was fret buzz all over the fretboard. I had to adjust the truss rod(a lot!) and bridge to make it playable. Additionally the small nut and bolt holding the pickguard to the retaining bracket was missing so I had to source a replacement. But the bass was attractively priced so I was prepared to accept these shortcomings.

I ordered an Odyusa carry case from Bax Music for my Akai Force. The price was very reasonable considering what some suppliers are offering. The case came with plenty of internal foam padding and the Force fits snugly inside it. However the delivery time quoted was inaccurate. I ordered the item on a Tuesday (before 10pm) and I was led to believe that I would have it by Thursday (it was confirmed to be 'In Stock'). This seemed reasonable considering that I was paying £5.95 delivery. The product actually arrived a week later on the following Tuesday. I've ordered products from other music gear suppliers, paid less delivery charge and the product has arrived the next day! If this is typical then Bax Music seriously need to look at the couriers they use.

After lots of research Bax offered the best price and delivery for the Otega kick horse pedal pro However it arrived 3 days later than promised and after chats with bax proved to be faulty. Bax support told me that they would send out a replacement as soon as the post office confirm receipt of return. However I’ve not received return email yet. Please help me to speed this return up. My next gig is this Friday and desperate to introduce into playing! Keith

Bax has a great selection of products at good prices. Where Bax falls down is using Parcel Force as a courier in the UK. I didn't pay for delivery as it came with the item but I swear it stated 24 hours. It has been a week & still haven't received the item. If Bax are under the impression they are paying for a certain service for their customers then they need to investigate and look at changing couriers. I'm sure customers would rather pay extra for pnp & have a good service than be left in the hands of a shambolic outfit like Parcel Force.

Ordered a Positive Grid Spark Mini Amp, the product is exactly as was described, the communication from the company was satisfactory if not a little bit overwhelming as I received 5 emails,the price of the product was very competitive but was extremely disappointed when after being told my delivery would arrive on 5th of July (and its clearly stated on one of the emails) it didn't arrive until 7th of July. Some people may think this is acceptable but when you have to ask somebody to be there to receive your delivery its a bit of an inconvenience as I was available to receive it on the 5th but not on the 7th. Would I use this company again...... probably yes as the price as I said was very competitive but certainly after my experience would not believe a word they print about delivery time.
