I see a bass I like at a price I like then I rarely if ever care who is selling it and I will enquire,specialist or not. I do however like Will's pricing structure so I always keep an eye on his stock levels. Anderton's have never answered an e-mail from me straight away since you mentioned them 🙂

Hi Will. You misunderstood my sentiment when I said Bass Direct and The Gallery are the two largest bass-only stores. It's not a competition whatsoever but The Gallery have been in business since about 1991 so are more established. I was just being factual. I've told you in person I like what you're doing and I meant it. And technically you now sell guitars so not strictly bass only. I've not tried to email you recently mate so I don't know about that. It's my last whatsapp message sent to you about a possible trade you've not responded to. Either way it's all good. I wasn't responding in a malicious way in any shape or form but if you've not responded I'm only presenting the facts. Someone on here said Bass Gallery is in London so doesn't count which is why I mentioned that they deliver and offer a return window. I know you also do that.

In my experience Bass Direct,Andertons,Guitar Guitar and Wunjos in London answer each and every email. It can be done.

Then it's on Will at BassBros to do the same? If he hasn't then...

I live in London and that doesn't hinder my trips to Warwick 😊 In fact I spoke to a customer once in The Gallery who came specifically to see them from the US. The fact remains that The Gallery and Bass Direct are the two largest UK based Bass specialists. The Galley will deliver to you and offer a return window if distance is an issue.

Only slight correction is the two biggest and best bass-only stores to my knowledge are Bass Direct and The Bass Gallery in London. And that's no disrespect to BassBros 😊 ps. BassBros also sell guitars.

Whatsapp works for me too but no response to my last trade enquiry. I traded elsewhere in the end.

Same here 😅 They're on my list of favourites.

Glad you had a good experience there. BassBros have been around a few years now and quite well known within the bass community

I have now 😄

Tell us the brand. I'm guessing Fender. I lied about ending the inquisition clearly 😅

Out of 94 I have to ask if you have a favourite? The inquisition ends here I promise 👍

You have more basses than the aforementioned Wunjos have on their shop floor I'm sure. Not sure I'll count the guitars though. Let us know when it's 100 basses 😄

Sorry to ask but where are they stored? 🤣

Thanks. Wunjos can be quite generous with their buy-in prices so I'm trying my luck again. I'll play it by ear. I haven't ruled out selling it on here but once I have it in my head a bass isn't staying I want it out the way asap.

5 at one time was my maximum once and it made my head spin. I have the same policy,in fact I'm negotiating a sale with Wunjo's right now as I'm 4 instead of 3 due to trading some unused amplification for a bass recently.

I wouldn't be surprised if you hold the Basschat member record. 94??? 😄

I had five at one time,two always got ignored. Then four,one always got ignored. three is the magic number for me. I can't think of a single scenario where one of my 3 can't/won't do the job. I could even go down to two and say the same thing. The prices of both new and used basses is getting a bit silly now anyway in a lot of instances and the "wheel" is not exactly being reinvented. Rolled fingerboard edges for example mean very little to me in the grand scheme of things.

Other than not being to taste I wouldn't say the bolt-on Thumb shape is improper or has an incorrect horn length.

I totally understand. It was a whole new experience to me at first.

I wouldn't be without mine. And that's a Broadneck 5 bolt-on with 20mm bridge string spacing. I don't see the ergonomics as drawbacks,just different.

What do you feel was wrong with the ceramic magnets that alnico will fix?

To the point where I sometimes wonder what these individuals have been smoking.

The line with the S-1 switches were known as the American Series range. They ran (I think) from 2000 to 2007 and the line was revamped LESS the switch in 2008 (American Standard).

It does indeed. Yet another reason it followed me home 👍
