Big Shops, Loadsa Basses

[cytania]

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.

Bass Direct is pretty much Nirvana for a bassist. Tho I'd doubt you'd find a cheap P-bass there.

Be careful - you might end up spending more on the travel than on the bass.

If you want a cheap P-bass, your best bet is to buy it on Basschat.

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.
