cytania Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 You know the score, the guitar shop is vast, loads of stock and at the back a couple of basses and that's it. So where's the place to try out alot of bass guitars? Bass Direct in Warwickshire? Bass Merchant in Colchester? Get travel to London and get an Oyster card? Or does your local town have an unusual number of great guitar shops? Planning a Spring campaign to find a cheap P bass type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Bass Direct is pretty much Nirvana for a bassist. Tho I'd doubt you'd find a cheap P-bass there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a cheap P-bass, your best bet is to buy it on Basschat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platypus Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 The shops you mention are all good - though as you be doing a lot of travelling, I would phone first to check what's in stock.
