Music Shops in Bristol

[Walker]

Hi there,
I'm in Bristol for the weekend seeing Wild Beasts.

Can any locals recommend any good music shops (that stock bass gear) that I could visit for a browse while the wife is hitting the clothes shops?

Cheers!

Chris

Hi Chris

Here's a similar thread with all of the appropriate Bristol shops mentioned.

Cheers Pete, must admit, I'm more than a little scared after reading that lot!

Plenty of gear here in the DoomHäus if you wanna play with amps and drink tea.

Where is the doomhaus MrF? Have a feeling I don't work a million miles away (on the old market/temple way roundabout)...

PMT have got some fairly decent stuff at the moment, some nice Stingray's and Fender's. Also got some Yamaha's and a nice Ibanez 6'er, amps by Ashdown, Ampeg, Orange and some of the big valve Peavey stuff. And with the added bonus that all the bass gear is in a seperate little room at the back so you won't have to be left with bleeding ears from young kid ripping out Slipknot riffs on a 7 string Ibanez through the loudest Mesa amp in the shop!!

Music Room on College Green have some nice Overwater (made by Tanglewood) guitars in but not a lot else bass-wise. Worth trying one of those mind. I tried one and ended up buying it! They gave me a loyalty card too... so I'm not allowed in there again for a while.

And yeah, where's this Doomhaus and what is it? I've heard it mentioned a couple of times so may pop down...

The DoomHäus is my house, it replaced the House of Bass, I have loads of gear sat about since I rebuild amps and guitars and move them on. Its the hobby turning business thing since I can't get a 'real' job. It is in Easton/Greenbank, PM for details if you wanna pop down.
