OT: Is Humbucker Music legit?
I know... probably a completely stupid question, but I do most of my gear shopping in local shops and on Sweetwater.
Anyways, as the title reads... Is Humbucker Music legit? Who has experience with ordering from them and how was the service?

Re: OT: Is Humbucker Music legit?
I've been in their store in person several times. I don't know why anyone would question their legitimacy. They usually have good prices and even free shipping. there is a restocking fee for returns though, but I have played many Oranges in their store, and bought a few things too. Got a B stock cab and a R30 there once. Satisfied me. (that's what she said)

Humbucker Music is one of the best music stores I've ever dealt with. They're close to Orange USA in Atlanta so theyt pick up their own orders and give you free shipping.
Now just imagine what shipping on an Orange 4X10 bass cab should be and you'll quickly see that they're offering a real value. I bought my 4X10 bass cab from them and the transaction was flawless. I would recommend them without hesitation!

Never bought from them, they have a big regional store close to my parents, they are a very big prange dealer and in their larger stores carry the whole line of orange. Yes they are very legit.

Re: OT: Is Humbucker Music legit?
humbucker is FULLY legit. i cannot recommend them highly enough, seriously.
my story: in the navy, at sea on a deployment, amp fund swelling nicely. had tried a few oranges and some other amps, but the TV50 had come out while i was at sea. my impatient self wanted my amp there when i got back. i decided to pull the trigger on it, after discussing some of the particulars with the HB staff. the bank didnt let the funds go immediately, so HB contacted me and let me know so i could clear it with the bank, and they were awesome about it. arrived back in the states to a pristine TV50 and PPC412, in their well-packed boxes sitting in the living room.
only minus is that the HB staff did not give me any advice on whether to spend time first with my new amp or my girlfriend.

Re: OT: Is Humbucker Music legit?
My OR50 & 4x12 (see sig pic) came from them, along with some other gear ( wah, pedalboard, ect.). Called and spoke with them first, before placing the order. Very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Everything arrived on time, packed well, no damage, pristine condition.
Highly recommended, will buy from them again.
They are great. Oh yea. . . got a really good price on everything & free shipping to boot. . . and you know how heavy an Orange 4x12 is!![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Re: OT: Is Humbucker Music legit?
I bought my AD200B from them in 2004. At the time the nearest Orange dealer with any in stock was over 300 miles away. I determined it to be cheaper to order it and send it back if I didn't like it. ....umm, needless to say I didn't send it back
They took the factory carton and packed it inside another box with foam peanuts in between. This was a good thing because UPS did not treat the exterior box very kindly at all. Also, they were the cheapest around for Orange prices that I've ever found. If you have some travel time to get to a dealer that may factor in favorably toward Humbucker.

Re: OT: Is Humbucker Music legit?
Yeah, another +1 for Humbucker.
Great store, great service. They're my go-to for online orders and they'll happily chat through options with you on the phone if you call them up.

Re: OT: Is Humbucker Music legit?
Thanks, guys!
Backstory on the subject... My AD30 was stolen from the church that I played at while I was living in Houston. Humbucker's price was about 25% less than other stores for the unit. I got my replacement in a week ago and it works great. Customer service was great too.
