Bananas At Large — Local services in Santa Rosa

I went to the store to purchase eight Black straight Marshall cabinets 8 Marshall heads and a black Anvil effects rack cabinet case of GS super slinkies strings cordless system and patch cords gold end misc. chords and I saw many customers enter the store without being asked to leave their backpacks at the counter but I was asked to leave my backpack at the counter obviously due to profiling which is insanely stupid many musicians have long hair it's a pretty stupid reason to have lost about 30 to 40,000 worth of sales I walked in there that day with a budget of $50,000 and I felt the need to give the business to local stores but was treated so poorly by the store they followed me around acted like I was going to stick everything I could in my pockets like anything would have fit in my pocket or even my backpack for that matter that I was interested in most products were locked up under glass this store obviously discriminates against certain people and profiles I would not recommend the store to anybody My experience there was disgusting the sales people were rude obnoxious and untrusting for no reason whatsoever other than...

Not a great place to hear an acoustic guitar. I really hate writing bad reviews, but I drove a long way to buy a guitar here. The staff is friendly and helpful, the bathroom is clean. I cant say anything about the pricing or selection. This review is strictly regarding the acoustic guitar buying experience. The room where the acoustic guitars are kept is open to the rest of the shop which is very noisy. There was loud music being played on the shop speakers that kept me from being able to hear the guitar. The staff was nice enough to put me in a small office, but it wasnt really set up to compare guitars so I went home empty handed. Sorry guys.

Update: I woke up to an email telling me that the shop sent the two guitars i wanted to try to the san rafael store so i could make sure I got the right one for me. I stuck with the guitar i bought, but it was very nice for them to do that....

It was my first time in at Bananas At Large, and I was desperately in need of an audio recording interface for my home recording setup. They had exactly what I needed, and the sales staff was very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. After settling on a Steinberg audio interface (which has been working out great), I decided to look around the store a little, and was really impressed with the selection of acoustic and electric guitars (Guild and Martin are two of my favorite acoustic brands, and there were quite a few to choose from!), as well as some assorted drums, drum hardware, electronic drums, lighting rigs, amplifiers, mics, keyboards, and more. The pricing on everything seemed very reasonable. Needless to say I will be back soon!!! 🍌 🎸...
