Guitar Gear Forum

A while back, some people were sharing favorite places to buy components from. One that came up from a few (I think K-Bizzle and Guitarbilly74 both piped up on this one) were mentioned to have great prices and shipping. I checked the site out and really liked it, but didn't bookmark and can't remember what it was.

Please post your fav's. Here's a few of mine in trade

Mammoth: http://www.mammothelectronics.com
Small bear: http://www.smallbearelec.com
Tayda: http://www.taydaelectronics.com/
Redco: http://www.redco.com
Pedal Parts Plus: http://www.pedalpartsplus.com/Default.asp
Futurlec: http://www.futurlec.com/
Mouser: www.mouser.com

Tayda: http://www.taydaelectronics.com/

Best prices ever, but you got a bit of a wait since it comes direct from Korea

That's it - YDM!!!

I thought I heard about good shipping - what's the typical lead time to the Western US?

shipping prices are great, it usually takes about a week to arrive with the cheapest option

I usually buy from Mammoth, but one time someone on the madbean forums posted a coupon code for Tayda so i tried them out. I was pretty happy, bought a lot of stuff, saved some money and the shipping was quicker than I thought it would be. Doesn't Tayda also ship out some stuff from a US location?
Mouser is also good, but they carry so much it's really quite a chore to use them, but you can find some cool parts on there for a good price if you know what you're looking for.
If you're looking for good powder coated enclosures, Pedal Parts Plus has pretty good quality enclosures.

Tayda is awesome.

mouser will serve you well for wackier stuff. Tayda are great for your bulk meat and potatoes purchases and they'r worth following on facebook as they frequently post discount codes.

Futurlec, and Spiratronics are good places as well...I've ordered from just about every place you can think of, over the years.

Tayda
Mouser
Smallbear
PedalPartsPlus

I can typically find all I need through these...Tayda is surprisingly fast...If I order on a Monday, my stuff is here by Friday, and I live in the midwest.

Thanks everyone - ya'll rock!

Sometimes, I roll too .

Tayda for bulk parts - resistors, caps, switches, LEDs, ic's, transistors, etc

PPP for enclosures (although they've been going pretty slow recently)

Small Bear for really odd things like knobs, vactrols, weird diodes, wah parts, bucket brigade IC's etc

Mouser for REALLY weird stuff.

I have been out of the loop for a year or more. I just found this board yesterday. Looks like a cool place!

Cool, Mammoth is one I have not heard about. I just checked them out and they got some nice stuff and good prices. Thanks for the info.

Mostly Mammoth, never had an issue with them.
