Cool store, lots to look through. Such a neat place an awesome piece of history.The staff was nice and super helpful. I picked up some percussion stuff for my son, wish he was with me to look through the drum kits, cymbals and guitar's though. I picked up a few smaller items but I feel got for a good deal. There was a line but only waited about 15 minutes to get in. The store was packed so Iy a few could go in at a time as others checkout and came out. read more

Jammin'jersey Music & Pro Audio - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Northridge, California

SEPT 3, 2026 UPDATE: CLOSING SOON: Owner recently died. Unlike those "cry wolf" Craigslist ads posted for several years, Jammin Jersey will actually CLOSE forever soon and do a REAL liquidation / estate sale there this weekend: Friday, Saturday & Sunday, Sept. 4 thru 6: https://abc7.com/videoClip/19772304/?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=6a98dbb0a25f5e000152c8cc&fbclid=IwdGRjcAUGsnhwZG9mBWZkaWQWUNv78nSsaQjUl8bF8gPZTLmbnqcpZ2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkCjY2Mjg1NjgzNzkAAR7UjK4vEkByG1tfWk7nBZkMxrflkne8YJuJIRf4K3y-vuZ-z5W9HfAMXmvSvw_aem_97m9895WNHfOucjZehgcRQ -------- It's basically tons of musical gear & equipment in various used and new condition & hoarded up and stacked from ceiling to floor & with the owner dude sitting behind a counter ready to take cash only, cuz he don't have a credit card terminal?! Decent selection of drum gear, cymbals, etc., guitar cables & straps; strings that might be years old; used speaker cones, some guitar and bass cabinets ... Limited selection of guitar pedals, guitars and basses, guitar and bass amps & no tubes for amps. I think a drummer and/or obscure gear hoarder might find something interesting. Location is actually one block away from the Guitar Center Northridge. I probably imagine that Dave Grohl, whose Studio 606 is also located nearby in Northridge, probably came here one time and said, "Naaahhh, nope." I come here for bargains on guitar straps, strings & cables; but everything else is inexplicably priced at MSRP ?! Hoarded, cluttered, dingy, messy gear vibe, (like it all came out directly from a storage unit or estate sale of some hoarder house) might be a big turn off, though. Open Saturdays 12 - 5 and sometimes Sundays 12 - 5. read more

Amazing service! I have been a customer of Jammin' Jersey for years. They are good, caring people. I see folks complaining about thier prices and/or shipping fee - if it isn't worth the price to you, don't buy it - no one is forcing it on you. Why are you blasting them in a review? They carry a wide selection of some pretty rare stuff that is worth the money imo. They have helped me in the past with amp repair and their repairs held up through a lot of my abuse. Great shop! I see some folks have problems with the owner, but I think they don't understand he does not suffer fools lightly and he isn't trying to negotiate deals - so if you walk in rudely trying to debate prices, he isn't going to respond well. I've never seen him be rude to someone that didn't deserve it. He knows his stuff, and he prices it for what he wants to sell it for. read more

Incredibly rude + terrible attitude + over priced gear = Awful experience! One of the worst customer experiences I've ever had. read more

There is a good chance that you will find a rare piece of gear here that you need. (They literally describe EVERYTHING as a "closet/storage find". However, it WILL be over priced, and they WILL NOT negotiate. They have found a way to make money, and they stick to the formula. Buy something, or don't. End of story. They did reduce their shipping cost a bit since I'm only in Nevada though, so there's that. Hope the fire doesn't reach them. read more

Jammin'jersey Music & Pro Audio - 14" mounted Yamaha RTC tom. - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Northridge, California

I went there because they advertised they were having a sale. Their ad also stated they carried Hohner harmonicas. Just to be certain, I sent them an email asking if they carried professional diatonics. They didn't respond, so I took a chance and drove up there. I would categorize at least 65% of everything there as "e-waste". Someone else compared this place to the TV show "Hoarders". I would agree. Piles of mult cables, old power strips, Crown amps from the '70s. None of it was on sale anyway. I got the general feeling while I was there that my presence was only being tolerated. Although I was the only person in the store, no-one greeted or asked me if they could help be find anything. They did have a huge selection of used drums and drum hardware. If I were to compare it to another similar establishment it would be Apex Electronics/Apex Surplus Corporation in Sun Valley. This is kind of a surplus store for obsolete/analog music related hardware. Oh, and they don't stock harmonicas. read more

Experienced the same rude behavior that is being expressed here. Nothing is on sale, I bought drum heads at almost full retail, just in the hopes to get a discount off a snare that looked like it had been there forever and there were like 6 of them. Asking 300 I offered 250 then went to 275 old guy wouldn't budge. After I paid way over what I normally would for drum heads. Stupid place. read more

I really should've read the reviews before wasting time gas coming from South East LA. Trying to complete our vintage black 70s Ludwig kit n came here searching for a floor tom. If you don't want customer service and you want to be ignored, and there's drums from floor to ceiling but no one knows what sizes they are n noone knows the prices and they're only open Saturdays for no reason what so ever...then come to Jammin Jerseys. The kid that works there wants to be helpful but the old man in charge is mean, doesn't care n straight told us "Don't know & Don't know" when we asked about 2 of his products. What size are they and how much. Old fart didn't even bother to look at us.... That said...off to Pro Drum Shop! They'll want to help n make a sale. read more

Everything this place has a price tag along with it.. Everything is listed as RARE, CLOSET FIND, STORAGE FIND... Online service stinks, E-Mail stinks, Rude Staff... Did I mention, his prices are 2 to 3 times higher than all on line music sites. After you pay taxes and shipping, where is the value??? No Good deals here. Save your money... read more

Old guy is really rude. Craigslist ad that said up to 80% off sale was a total lie. The store itself is a complete mess. I asked to see a mic and the old guy asked me to pay before they looked for it because he didn't know where it was. Why would I ever pay hundreds of dollars for a used mic that I've never even seen... Bottom line: don't bother coming here and definitely don't bother doing business with them. read more

Check or Money Order's only?!?!?! I tour for a living and need a speaker for a guitar cab I'm having made. They found it, I want to buy it, but I was told they only accept check or money order for phone orders!!! That I should go to the post office and send a money order and that they are "old school." Old school is what killed the taxi industry. Its 2019 find any way to accept money from a customer that is looking for a $300 vintage speaker that has more than likely been sitting on the shelf for years. I leave for UK this week and they are completely fine without making a sale. Mark literally sounds like he could care less. If they ever leave the early 90's and decide to take a credit card over the phone, like any other functioning business, I'd love to buy the speaker. read more

When I moved with band from Pennsylvania to California over 20 years ago.. This man earned my trust and loyalty not only in tge best and matching any cost I found lower, but best part his knowledge brought me up to speed with alot of new product to help me obtain the sound I was looking for. I love the guy and hate to see Jammin Jersey's go out of store front retail. I trust him enough to that all my future on line purchases will fear free! For All of is that have relyed on you for your expertise and kept us Rock'in, and the best deals ever.. WE SALUTE YOU! Thank You for your storefront Service! That being said, Hes offering 70% off everything! Pillage my fellow Pirates!!! read more

I don't understand the negative reviews for this place. I found the owner to be engaging and a pleasure to speak with. I purchased a chrome over wood tom to complete my kit and wish I had more time to pick his brain on left handedness and his experience dealing with the musician community. You might have to do some digging but this shop has just about any drum part you will ever need and his pricing is fair. read more

Definitely agree with others on this thread. While one worker there kindly asked if I was having a nice day, the owner couldn't even be bothered to look up at me to answer a question about their advertised "liquidation sale" while I didn't expect 70% off on most things of any value, I expected at least some discount on drums (their largest stocked item). I asked what the lowest end drum kit ran (no hardware or cymbals just core kit) and he said $500 because they "don't carry any cheaper crap". I asked if that was after any store closing discount and he just replied "yup". Again never even looked at me. Not worth the time or effort for folks who could care less about your business. read more

Can i give zero stars? Wanted to spend money here today. Dude does not open when he said he would. I will not waste anymore gas or time with this joker. (It has happened b4. My fault for needing something hard to find which he claims to have had plenty of). His old partner Louie is up in Canyon Country at Mugzy Music. And he is a cool cat. - Done. read more

I can't believe all of the bad reviews about this business! My experience was great! Mark and Dave were both very friendly and helpful. They had some vintage Rogers drums that I needed to expand my current set. I only really needed three out of the four piece set they were selling. They agreed to that and knocked some money off the original price. I also bought a Rogers bass pedal and a Swivomatic tom stand and the prices on those items were very fair. Mark told me to come back In a few days to pick the drums up. When I returned the drums were clean, in great condition, had new heads, and were ready to go. The guys helped me take them out to my truck and thanked me again. read more

Jammin'jersey Music & Pro Audio - Thanks to Jammin' Jersey, my set is now complete! - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Northridge, California

Jammin'jersey, is the largest Public Storage unit I've ever been inside of. Yes, storage unit is exactly what this place IS. You've never been to Jammin'jersey ?? Have you ever seen one of those reality shows about storage unit auctions? Where the unit appears to be a disorganized rats nest? Yes? Then, you have seen the inside of Jammin'jersey, without getting dirty and without the need to deal with it's halfwits. The only place more unpleasant than Jammin'jersey to check out a musical instrument, is that shit-hole pawn shop, Traders Loan and Jewelry on the corner of Sherman Way and Reseda. Actually, now that I think about, I think Traders may be in a multi-tie with a few other pawn shops. Anyway, back to Jammin' jockstrap. There is no online picture of any specific item, nor is their online list anywhere near a complete list of the garage sale junk they have. I'll guess it covers 10-15%. The closest thing they have to knowing (that is if they still have it) is a beat-up, 2-ring or 3-ring binder that has no item pictures, but does offer the shortest, total lack of description....description. Example: If you look at the ingredients on the side of a can of Coke, you'll see quite a few ingredients. Maybe 15-20 items or more. If you read the Jammin'jersey can of cola equivalent, it would read, "cola." This helps no customer. So, I look through their entire beat-up binder and see only one thing interesting. They've got a Guild electric from the early 1980's. This one was "allegedly" owned and used by the singer Steve Plunkett in the 1984 video, "Turn up the radio" by Autograph. And, I think the price was $800 or $900. I tell the counter guy I'd like to see this and play it. Simple enough, right? Nope. I'm told, "The guitar is "buried" against the bottom part of the back wall behind ALL of those amps and cabinets. Do you want to buy it?" I said, "I don't know, I would have to play it first. Would you pay $800-$900 for a guitar without playing it, especially when it CAN be played first??" The guy looked at my like I had lobsters coming outta my ears. Then he says, "Well, it'll take a half-hour to an hour to move everything outta the way to get to it, and you would have to make an appointment with the owner first." I asked how the store came up with that price. A price figure which is ridicules to begin with. He says, "Well, the owner says it's a rare guitar, it's old, and because it's in a video." I'll tell you why the guitar is worth maybe $300-$400 at best, and that's if it's in MINT condition, which you know damn well it won't be after being buried by heavy garbage and junk indefinitely, and likely unprotected, in a storage unit. 1.Guild briefly made solid-bodied, rock style guitars then stopped. Why? Because no one bought them. 2.Guild was not a "rock guitar" company. 3. Guild solid-body electrics were not very playable. 4. Kahler bridges never were, nor will they ever be as good, versatile or fun as a Floyd. 5. As good of a band as they were, and they were a good band, practically NO ONE KNOWS or REMEMBERS who Autograph was let alone who the hell Steve Plunkett is/was. So that, "Oooh it was in a video!!" means absolutely nothing to practically everyone. I would be very surprised if he ever sold that Guild for his crazy price. Of course, I wouldn't believe anyone telling me this without a clearly printed-out receipt. Jammin'jersey IS NOT customer friendly, unknowledgeable employees, selling crap no one will buy which is why stuff you may remember seeing 15 years ago is STILL THERE! If it's not, they placed it inside their organizational garbage can out back. Ya know, they've got t.v. shows about people identical to this store's owner. The people who are exactly like this store owner are called, "hoarders." People who don't have enough sense to know what actual junk is and to properly throw it out. I'll bet inside this guy's home he has stacks of daily news papers from every year dating back to 1963. If one day I wanted to go to a guitar store and every other guitar store was closed except for this one, I would rather go into dumpsters to look for old bicycle parts. If you like this place, you don't get out much. read more

These guys take the cake as the WORST music store I've ever been to. Been playing for over 30 years, so that covers a lot of ground. High prices, disorganized store with crap piled everywhere, unfriendly and unhelpful sales people. These guys must be trust fund babies, because with guitar center less than a mile away, there's no need to go there for strings, accessories, etc., and you'd have to be insane to buy an instrument from them. Before GC came to Northridge, they were the only game in town, so I went there at least a couple times a year for a number of years. Absolutely no reason to go back to a place run by people who just don't get it. read more

False advertising. I was sold what was advertised as a 1978 jazz bass. The sign posted in the store said every instrument goes through hardcore inspection. When I got home, found out neck was from 1978, body was Mexican. Boo on them. Will never go there again and highly discourage anyone from buying from untruthful folk. Even if you hate chain store's, they still disclose what you are buying. read more

Went there to check a guitar and the old man got mad because I was looking around to see if I could find other things that would interest me. Have been there multiple times and every time this old guy was rude and an asshole. Miserable old man with tons of instruments that he doesn't want to sell! Just close the damm shop and go fishing or something else like fuck yourself! read more

Read the reviews but thought I'd give it a go anyways. Complete waste of time. All used gear WAY WAY WAY overpriced. The owner is clearly a musical instrument hoarder who doesn't seem to care whether he sells anything or not. You've be warned. read more

I have got to say this is the best place to ever go too, I have been going here for years I've been dealing with the best owner Mark I Thank You very much for all your help... you're the best you have everything that I need from vintage historical amazing stuff to today's whatever instruments. from guitars, pianos, Mic, drums, everything even studio equipment thanks bud. I would totally recommend Jammin Jersey to every musician. especially when you need stuff this is a place to go!!! I'm going to say its a little bit pricey. but their negotiators? you know!! so come on negotiate... once again Thanks Mark you're the best.... read more

Just visited this long-time pro audio SFV staple over the weekend. In the days of Guitar Center and Best Buy, Jammin' Jersey is a music retailer oasis. Nice guys who are there to help but don't get in your face with aggro sales tactics. Plus they actually know what they are talking about. Lots of cool used gear as well as new stuff. As a woman I felt completely comfortable in this music store, which can be a rare thing. Found a great used crash cymbal and drum throne. Thumbs up to Jammin' Jersey. read more

Better than guitar center for sure. The sell crappy stuff without the "too cool for school" attitude. They sell alot of used equipment that may or may not work- at least they'll test it for you first! I didn't like some attitude I got here at first but it's their store and they can act however they want. I'd go here over guitar center for parts and misc. stuff any day of the week. read more

Tried to purchase a drum set in 2008 wouldn't work with me at all on the price Back in 2010 set was still available but wouldn't work with me what so ever and was extremely rude Tried again in 2012 sets still there, still rude, still nasty Once again in 2014. Guess what??? the sets STILL available at an extorted inflated price I tried several times to do business but gave up and bought a way better one from ebay at a much better price I think this guy just likes to hoard & collect stuff for himself ? Terrible experience read more

I had a great experience dealing with Mark. I rented some gear , and decided i wanted to buy it and worked with me on the price - then subtracted the rental fee from the purchase. Ive been a customer for years. he'll trade gear as well. better trade in value than a GC or Sam Ash usually. INSANE inventory- JJ has anything you could possibly need. I wanted a gong for my "Bonzo" drum setup- he not only had the gong - but put together a stand that i could break down and transport. Great guy great place. read more

Jammin' Jersey offers a level of quality and care unsurpassed by any other music shop in LA. Mark never levels you feeling like he talks down to you if you ask him questions about hardware. He is always happy to take time and explain his produces. If he doesn't know specifics about a product he is not afraid to say so. He will be the first to tell you if there is a cheaper way to go about producing the sonic results desired. Jammin' Jeresy has integrity. That is refreshing. read more

Mark and Dave gave me a great deal to fit out my Ludwig Octaplus with hardware, cases, and 8 Zildjians.

The owner of this establishment is extremely rude. I've been a patron of this this overpriced, ramshackle of a hole, off and on for the past 20 years. I think today will be the last. The owner is extremely rude, to the point of being disrespectful and dismissive. His employee was much more nice and willing to help, but the owner trumps the employee. The best was his employees face when the owner told me he had no time to help me....when he, myself and his employee were the only ones in the store. This place is way overpriced, and the inventory cannot be trusted. Much of the inventory has been in the store for the entire time that I've known it to exist...most of the equipment in the store came from the store they had in Reseda back in the 90's. The new gear that this place has is very poor in craftsmanship and you would be much better off going to Guitar Center 1 mile down the road and get a guarantee on what you purchase. read more

I found Jammin' Jersey while Googling for a drum I wanted to add to my kit. They had one I was interested in, but it was totally overpriced. On their site it says "call us for a great deal!". So...I called them for a great deal. Here's what I was told: "That's the price. if you don't buy it, someone else will." So much for the great deal. Unfortunately I wanted the piece, so I gave in. On their site they say "Used drums are disassembled and detailed with the utmost of care, then painstakingly reassembled and re-headed with careful attention to all details." I was sort of able to justify the purchase price because according to them, I was going to get a cleaned (detailed) drum with new heads ("re-head"). Oh, you can't pay with a credit card over the phone. You have to send them a CHECK! Because...this is the 80s? So I sent them a check. Waited around for it to clear, and in about 2 weeks I had my drum (I live about 100 miles from them). Pulled the drum out of the box to find that the drum had the original 20-something year-old heads on it, with dust and crud in every crevice that could only possibly have gathered to the extent to which it had, from years of remaining assembled. In other words, the drum certainly had not been disassembled, detailed or re-headed. I called to ask them about it, and got more attitude. I told them the drum had not been cleaned, and asked what they meant by "re-head." In the world of music, when you 're-" something, it tends to mean you are replacing items with new ones; re-cone a speaker, re-string a guitar, etc. Nope. Not in Jammin' Jersey land. Re-head apparently means "put the old heads back on"...after the drum is "painstakingly disassembled and detailed...". Needless to say, I have no more use for these guys. I can't believe they've been in business for as long as they have. They are a bunch of sheisters. Please learn from my mistake. read more

I don't understand how his place stays in business. The dude with the 90s ponytail was extremely rude and lazy. I asked to check out a few amps and he sighed as if I was bothering him too much. I came in with cash and left with nothing read more

The guys I have dealt with here are jerks. All of my experiences have been negative. I have had situations where i ask for help with something and they just point in the direction of the department i need help in. Product ended up having a problem and when i called them they pretty much said too bad. Avoid this place. read more

I found this place online while searching for a particular vintage speaker model. After locating the item number and its price on the website, I gave these guys a call (they don't have an online ordering system). The guy who answered the phone told me that they indeed still had the speaker, but he couldn't find it at the moment, and would give me a call back as soon as he did so that I could complete the order. The next day (I never received a call back), I went on the website again, and saw that they had DOUBLED the price for the same speaker from the previous day. I called them again, and another guy answered the phone and said that the speaker had been "mis-priced," saying that with such a large stock, it happens occasionally. As it was their mistake (if not an outright 'bait and switch'), I offered them a compromise price between the two listings (which I thought was a decent gesture), and the guy basically told me to f#ck off, in so many words. I imagine that these guys found the speaker, did a quick search on ebay, decided they could sell it for more, and didn't bother to call me back after correcting the "price mistake." Needless to say, I will never attempt to do business with these guys again. With such poor treatment of potential customers, I don't see how they stay in business. read more

A little while ago I needed to rent a PA system so I called here and spoke with a younger very rude person over the phone. I told them I needed to rent a PA system and they said "okay fine" and we agreed to a price and he said it was reserved under my name but it mostly sounded like he was trying to rush me off the phone. a couple days later I send my friend to get it and not only did none know what he was talking about but they were giving him attitude and they told him a higher rental price that I was told on the phone. With that kind of unprofessionalism and attitude its a wonder how they stay in buisness. read more

I have gone into this store because of the large selection of musical instruments they have arranged in what can only be described as a landfill. I agree with all of the other posters, the owner is not friendly at all. I stood at the barred door waiting to be buzzed in like I was visiting someone is prison. He could not be any more unfriendly. His loyal employee with the mustache actually is a super nice guy. He must be paying off a debt to work there. They are not flexible on price, in fact one would surmise that by the way they run the business they are trying to run it into the ground. There is some awesome equipment in there but they do not treat any of it with respect or care. Go to Chad Sexton's or Pro Drum on Vine. These folk are good people and they care about what they do. read more

Personally I had a good experience here. I was looking for some old vintage speakers to restore a set of speaker cabinets my dad had given me. He had 5/6 of the speakers I needed in almost new shape which was awesome to find considering these cabinets are 30+ years old. They look and sound great and the price was fair in my opinion, not cheap but fair. He knew a lot and sat and talked to me for a bit too while looking for the speakers I needed. Then he helped a guy find some hard to find drum hardware and 2 other guys with a couple things. He has a lot of stuff, so give him a call if you're having a hard time finding something. I would definitely go back. read more

Never go here. He had no idea what the hell he is doing. I took my time amp in to get checked out and left with 70 dollars worth of broken tubes and no replacement of same value. Way overpriced and not worth a real musician checking out. read more

I can't believe these people are still in business! Several years ago I bought a used item from them which was supposed to be in good condition and all original. When I received it, I could see that it had been broken, then glued back together and spray-painted. I returned it to them in the packaging I received it in. I was notified by UPS that it had arrived broken, due to inadequate packing! When I called Jammin Jersey they said it was my fault, and they weren't accepting it. I had to take it back. I then sent the item to the manufacturer for repair only to find it contained non oOEM parts. It cost me a fortune to fix! I would never do business with these people again. BUYER BEWARE!!!! read more

not a bad place. it's true that you can get better prices by shopping on eBay, the prices are not bad at this store, and they have a huge selectionof used gear. the owner is reasonable he stands behind things that he sells so if there'sa problem with something that you bought I'm sure that you bring it back. the three things that I bought herehave all been awesome and I got a great price for them. read more
