Bass Gallery

[Pow_22]

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?

Gwilym did say, in another thread, that he was in the Gallery on Sathrday and bought an amp.
I would call them again today

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

They will definitely ship a bass to you.

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.

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

[lozbass]

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.

Have you tried this email address: [email protected]

Should go straight to Alex Carter who runs the main shop

[Pow_22]

cheers molan, gave that a try this morning so hopefully should get a reply soon

[lozbass]

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

Haha, no - I was behaving myself and actually left something there (only for a fix though - back next week to get it) - what a place - the surf green J nearly caused an accident ( bu**er me - gorgeous!)

[size=6][sub]Thanks for this thread, have realised The Gallery is ner but 5 mins from my daughter's new flat so will pay them a visit next time I'm up in London town.[/sub][/size]

[Pow_22]

Excellent. Many thanks lozbass. Sounds like a go-er to me, been after a hollowbody for ages and seeing the video for The Twang - We Are A Crowd reignited my gas. Alex, ill check my spam filter and will probbaly give you a call to discuss this week. Thanks for everyones help

[lozbass]

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.

Ha, should have known, yes I say that one on the website, last week. No price quoted - not a good sign

Just tried with three different browsers on two different machines and each one says the site server is down - how odd!

[kevin_lindsay]

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.
