Pow_22 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Ive seen a used bass on the bass gallery website that im very interested in, I have emailed them to see if they offer shipping within UK and had no response. Ive tried several phone calls but cant seem to get an answer. I assume they are still trading? Anyone else had any dealings with Bass Gallery?

Platypus Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Gwilym did say, in another thread, that he was in the Gallery on Sathrday and bought an amp. I would call them again today Edited June 14, 2012 by Platypus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow_22 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Will do. Being in Manchester its a bit of a trek unless i can pursuade Mrs Pow for a day out in Camden, so could really do with shipping Edited June 12, 2012 by Pow_22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platypus Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 They will definitely ship a bass to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) I'll be travelling to the Gallery from Manchester tomorrow (Wednesday) - if you get something sorted, I may be able to collect the bass for you - I'll be back in Manchester on Thursday. Let me know. Edited June 12, 2012 by lozbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow_22 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Brill, cheers for the offer mate. Doubt itll be sorted so quick but thanks anyway. While your there tell them they have a few emails waiting about the used rivoli they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Haha - no problem and will do - Alex and Martin at the Gallery are usually very responsive, maybe it's a staff holiday issue. I'll take a look at the Rivoli whilst I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Have you tried this email address: [email protected] Should go straight to Alex Carter who runs the main shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow_22 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 cheers molan, gave that a try this morning so hopefully should get a reply soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I was at the Gallery around lunchtime today = John and Martin couldn't have been more helpful - they called Alex to help locate the Rivoli and spent 5 minutes looking for it. I can confirm that it's in very good, used condition - a very nice bass indeed. Shortscale, nice low action, great string tension and currently strung with flats. The sunburst is lovely. I only played the bass for around a minute (and then unplugged) but I'd be pleased to have it - nicely made and a very good player. I indicated that you'd try to establish contact by mail = I think Alex is back tomorrow so i suspect you'll have a response soon. I honestly couldn't recommend the Gallery more highly - great guys and some of the basses in there today (vintage and boutique) were just staggering - the temptation is ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lozbass Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Pow, no problem at all - I hope all works out, a really lovely bass with some pedigree. Platypus, sorry to mislead, it's the sonic blue '65 J - apparently belonged to Yolanda Charles - it looks stunning with a great re-fin.

kevin_lindsay Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I've had absolutely no problem accessing the website. It's always been readily available. No idea why you should be experiencing problems viewing the site. It's very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
