I’m new to Philly and looking for a place I can pick up used musical gear and meet other musicians. Any recommendations?

Blue Bond Guitars and BridgeSet Sound are the only one that come to mind off the top of my head.

Hi fellow musician. Blue Bond and DiPinto are most folks’ go-to places. But honestly, lots of stuff changes hands through FB marketplace. And if you’ve got a car, Guitar Center in Cherry Hill is one of the best ones I’ve been to. There’s a so-so Sam Ash in the same shopping center.

Another vote for Bluebond here! Great folks there.

South street sounds has a bunch of stuff. Not sure relative quality / price

Replying to tasker_morris (#2,186,756)

Is 9th Street Music (RIP) still in the area? They used to comp you the toll, if you came from Philly, too.

(They moved out from next door of The Troc when the building was flooded, IIRC).

Go see Ed Russakoff at Rustic Music just above 10th and Spruce. He is really connected into the local scene. Looks like he only sells guitars though...
