Wonky2 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Agreed, lots of varied stock in there and the guys were happy to chat away .... Just how a bass shop should be Tried a Mm bongo and a few warwicks (all nice butnone German ) Quote
skidder652003 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 [quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1408717868' post='2532916'] Easily the best music shop, period! It's my local. I live in Devon. [/quote] ?????? Mansons??? Quote
Telebass Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) What I meant was that I don't bother with anything properly local. As I occasionally have to go to London, Wunjos is where I go. Job done. Edit: this week, as there's a bit of a road trip happening, I get to go to GAK AND Wunjos! Much mileage... Edited September 7, 2014 by Telebass Quote

Telebass Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Mansons bass selection has reduced a bit, as has the display space for them. I'd not be too surprised if there's not much bass there at all in a year or two... Quote
Mornats Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I popped into Wunjo's when I was in London last week. I went in, they greeted me warmly. I said basschat had recommended them which they were pleased about and they treat me very well. I can't remember the two guy's names (I'm really rubbish with names) but they both said to just help myself to any bass, plug it into anything I liked and just play. They were very very accommodating and helpful. It's worth the £20 return on the National Express from Bristol just to go there in my opinion. I tried a very lovely Musicman Bongo in there which is a bass I never thought I'd get a chance to play. It was way smaller and lighter and easier to play than I thought it would be. I still prefer a dual pickup bass so if they ever get an HS in... Top shop, top blokes, highly recommended. Quote
Wonky2 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I'm crap with names too but the guy who served me reminded me of the bloke off the mighty boosh No not old Greg, the king of the mods vince noire Quote
Shockwave Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Notch another one up to Laurence and Tom. Bought my second bass from there in 4 months. Lovely 1977 Precision. Spent nearly 2 hours trying around about 20ish basses to find the right one and never felt pressured. Quote
Billy Apple Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Just picked up a beautiful trans red Guild Starfire from Tom and Tom. Had a very pleasant time having a blather with staff and customers in what must be the most laid back shop in town. They gave me a great deal and once again I can't recommend Wunjo's enough. They had some very interesting stock in to, varied with some interesting pieces. The best bass shop in London.. Game over! Cheers Chaps! Quote
Billy Apple Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Some news here. When I bought my Starfire it came in a gig bag. There should've been a hard case, but they were missing due to Fender pulling out of Guild distribution. I had a call from Tom at Wunjo today, Guild have a new distributor and I have a new hard case for my Starfire! How cool is that? What a great blinking shop Wunjo is! Quote

MacDaddy Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I had great customer service from Laurence, who also beat the online price for my amp without my having to ask. Quote
4StringPete Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Always go to Wunjo when I'm down in London. Great shop, always helpful, good craic and happy to,let yo u try things. Only bought bits and pieces there, but they are always great to deal with. Quote
Daz39 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I recall trawling Denmark St regularly when I used to work in Center Point tower in 2000. I found all the shops then to be like art galleries - lovely stuff on the walls but you spend 5 minutes of your lunch break finding a staff member to ask to try something and then they mutter and idle over to it and then loiter nearby the whole time you have it on your lap...

Hobbayne Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I bought my Nate Mendel from Wunjos. They gave me 2 years free setups to. Quote
Number6 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) I had to drop to Wunjo's today in their new basement home. I bought a 5 string about a year back it has really had very little use so i thought a part ex trip to Denmark St was in order. I need a 4 string back up.....a quick chat with Tom (or was it Tom?) and a great deal done on a part ex and i now have a Yamaha 424x in a nice metallic red. Always good doing business with Wunjo's Edited July 1, 2016 by Number6 Quote
oldslapper Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 In London for the day, had a quick visit. Very welcoming guys, tried out unlined f.less stingray and they had time for a chat. First Class! And a great selection of basses & uprights. Quote
Joebethell Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Cracking Shop! Great guys had a great experience last week in Wunjo Bass didn't leave empty handed either but that's a story for another thread and day. 👍👍👍 Quote
luckydog Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I had a very good experience from Wunjo bass recently. Went in to seek advice and buy some flatwounds. They not only stock but have a helpful opinion on about half a dozen types. Like it should be, and I was happy to buy at pretty reasonable price. OK so they won't get rich from a set of strings, but the helpful and interested attitude is genuine, and as it used to be back in the day. No affiliation ! LD Quote

Happy Jack Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Don't know how many of you remember Chris Bryant Music, the big shop on the corner of Charing X Rd with the orange signs? Those signs now read "Wunjos" and the shop is being refurbed right now ... Quote
