New high-end bass retailer - Bass Barn

[Clarky]

Only just spotted this (apologies if this has already been posted about) but it appears to be Jon Shuker's official retailer as well as retailer of other high end gear (eg Low End basses)

Good grief! That gives a whole new meaning to out in the sticks...

Despite the fact that it's probably the high-end bass retailer that's geographically closest to me, not being a car owner The Gallery in London is still quicker and easier to get to.

They've been around for a good couple of years I think?

Definitely been in business since some point in 2011

Yep yep, they had a stand at LBGS 2011 and 2012 - and they were rocking around the show this year too. Bloomin' lovely peeps too!

Even though they'll pick you up from Hinckley station?

Fair enough. But...

If I go to try out some gear at the Gallery and it turns out to be not for me, then at least I've got the whole of London to keep me entertained for the day, whereas at the Bass Barn, I've got... nothing and a wasted day.
