[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1329154248' post='1538015'] An oxymoron, surely? [/quote] This is just amazing! Thank you all so much for the info, we have an Ipad 2 now so we'll carry that around and use this thread for a reference book. Hell, I'll never remember all this Just one more question, I have a mobility scooter, just a smallish one and am trying to work out if its worth taking it with us? How scooter/disabled friendly is the area we're going to? It would make my life tons better if I could use it.

Ok, guitar shops are out sadly. Going with daughter & son in law + wife so best keep to the touristy things. Travelling by train from Laindon station leaving my car there. Will that still arrive at fenchurch? Where is the science museum from there? I think the eye and Sci mus are the main places + anything else nearby there That I can manage. I'm pretty hopeless finding & correlating info on this blessed machine.

Phew! I think we need a month to do this justice Some great ideas here, the bagel shop sounds wonderful. Up to now the Eye & bagel shop, Science museum... Anyone know if there is a mobility scooter rental place around there?

Thanks guys, appreciate the input.

I love USA Jazzes, wonderful things but I've never owned a boutique bass.

We are going to stay at our daughters for a couple of days in Basildon next week and are planning a day in London. Can anyone recommend a good music shop? I've never been to Denmark st or even London in my life (I'm 65) so wouldn't like to miss an opportunity. Is the Eye worth a rotation? Any other 'must see's'? Can't walk very far these days. Thanks guys.

Top man Mark is, he just bought my Squier Precision, Lightning fast payment with great communication. Never even asked to see a picture of it, thank you for your trust. Gentleman, scholar and acrobat! Hope you enjoy it. Regards, Tom.

I have one the same as the blue one above, bought here for 399 shimblats and it's a great bass, a real keeper for me.
