lozbass Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Yes to the above, the Bass Gallery is a stockist - you'll find the range here: [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/bartolini.html"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/bartolini.html[/url] Martin and Alex are incredibly knowledgeable and very good people to deal with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from adding the shipping, the price you see is the price you pay. Dunno if the naff euro value makes Thomann prices not so good at the mo.

tauzero Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 [quote name='lozbass' post='195889' date='May 10 2008, 11:13 AM']Yes to the above, the Bass Gallery is a stockist - you'll find the range here: [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/bartolini.html"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/bartolini.html[/url][/quote] I bought a pair of soapbar 6-string Barts from [url="http://www.thebassplace.com"]TheBassPlace[/url] - they cost me $180 inc shipping plus about £30 this end (some courier firms charge for picking up from Customs, some don't), a total of around £120. Compare and contrast with the Bass Gallery price of "from £385" and then decide whether getting them in from the US would be cheaper. [url="http://www.bestbassgear.com"]Best Bass Gear[/url] also sell Barts and ship overseas (that's where my 7-string set came from, which cost about £130).

CPF Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 i've never bought anything from bass bass gear, but i have thought about it and still do a lot when i fancy changing my pickup. i've exchanged some emails with them and they always seemed helpful, and their shipping over here doesn't seem extortionate either.
