[quote name='molan' timestamp='1377469976' post='2188004'] Damn - just checked and the web site says closed on bank holidays [/quote] Oh no! Seems like I'm stuffed!

I'm going to be pretty central as is the nature of a day visit, so I'm guessing covent garden ways, although I'll have access to the tube so wherever that isn't too far out really! I should probably add that I'm a lefty too, so that makes basses a little more difficult! I went a few weeks ago and was in Wunjos, can fully attest to them being great guys, gave me some very good advice (advice that even could potentially have cost them a sale!)

Going to the capital for the day with my girlfriend, so naturally, I'm going to want to find a good bass store! I'll only get away with one store before she starts to moan so which would be the best one for me to go to? I would ideally like to play some basses through amps (possibly with effect pedals but not too bothered) with a view to buying online afterward.

Whether sarcastic anticipation or not, I think this could prove useful to people! I would add but I personally don't have much of a definite idea myself, which is what gave me the idea for this thread

Obviously this is open to a lot of subjectivity, and different instruments are played through amps/cabs etc. but I was hoping we could all club our opinions together and attempt to come to a consensus on many brands of amplification. The aim is to try to create somewhat of a guide for people to go to when they figure out what sound they want, and want to purchase an amp to match this (to give them an idea of what to test out/if unable to try before buying).

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1376495867' post='2174915'] What are the payment options like now? They used to be quite convoluted IIRC... [/quote] There's a few, but it seemed fairly straight forward, you just select 'international shipping (EU)' and it adds on to your total, only €24 for shipping apparently

Can anyone shed some light on these? Seem very good basses for the price, and cheap shipping costs too: http://www.bachmusik.com/en/
