GM10 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Help, I'm looking for a good quality acoustic bass: Martin, Tacoma etc. I want to try before I buy and I don't want to have to travel anymore than about 50 miles. Can anyone suggest somewhere manchester/North West where I can try a top end ACB and possibly trade in my old ACB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veils Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Sound Control in Salford might have a few decent ones or maybe Music Ground on Oxford Road. Aside from that I don't really know where to suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderthumbs Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Yeah, Sound Control do have a fairly decent collection of nice acoustics. However, I can't vouch for how many of them are basses. Probably still worth a look though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 MB1. "Is Sound Control, Oxford road Manchester still open?"......Camera cuts to brush rolling down a deserted dusty street ala Cowboy/ghost town Scenario, with just a soundtrack of the wind!

GM10 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Think the lights were on but there's........................ Sound Control don't have 4 string acoustics in stock. At the moment it's between Johnny Roadhouse, special order only or Music Ground. Their higher end bass, which they stock, is a Breedlove ABJ250. I've asked for comments on another thread on Basschat but I don't think they're too well known over here. Have posted a thread on Bass Talk and Breedlove have taken a bit of a knock. I thought it would be easier to get a quality acoustic bass in England's second city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
