Modern Music Modern Music - Rockin' Chicago Since 1948 Proudly serving Chicagoland bands and musicians since 1948! Why a FACEBOOK page? Please don't ask!

Retail Musical Instrument Store located in the west suburbs of Chicago. New & Used Guitars, Amplifiers, Loudspeakers, Mixers, Drums, Brass and Woodwind Instruments. We also offer Musical Instrument Lessons, Repairs and Rentals

We're a shop full of professional players and engineers, not shareholders. Our staff dedicates a lot of our personal time outside the shop to playing and evaluating equipme

nt in the real world. Sometimes right down the street, often on tour, sometimes on other continents! That way we'll know the stuff we're selling is up to our high standards. Well, we'll be using this occasionally to hook up our friends with super specials on gear, as well as let people know when we find a product that just knocks our socks off. Due to agreements with manufacturers, we will not be quoting prices on stuff here. Just call us @ 630.810.1500

Fender Standard Series Precision Bass 👀

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. “I think when the creative person ends, he continues in the next existence. I’m a person who believes this life isn’t the be-all and end-all of everything. A spiritual person doesn’t feel like that.” –S.R. (2009)

Used doesn’t mean overlooked.
This Guild Starfire Bass has the kind of vibe and character you just don’t get from every modern bass hanging on the wall.

Come plug it in at Modern Music before somebody else does.

From classic twang to smooth blues to full-on rock tones, sometimes the right answer is just…yes
