There are still some excellent deals on music equipment for the live musician on your shopping list. The best online music equipment retailers are really giving out some great deals that can save you a bunch of money. Another thing to remember is if you buy your equipment before the end of 2008, you can deduct your equipment expenses on your tax return this tax season. (Which reminds me, I have some cash from gigs that I still need to spend…) Anyway, check out the great deals going on right now at Musician’s Friend, Music123, ZZounds and iTunes.
