Bass Centre London?

[Back to Bassics]

Are we remembering the same shop? Wapping High Street? The staff were all stuck-up, no-nothing w***ers ... I remember very well a conversation soon after they opened.

It was, "Can I buy a couple of Gibson heavy plectrums?"

"Nah, sorry mate, we only deal with pros. We only sell in hundreds ..."

I did love it though, the tossers mugged away loads of stuff they thought was "sh*t".

I bought, very cheaply, an Ampeg AEB-1, an early '80s Gibson Flying V bass, a Triumph and several other collectable basses for giveaway prices.

I recently returned to London and found "The Bass Centre" on Denmark Street. The staff ... I met four or five of them over a couple of days ... were great. Helpful and friendly. Nothing at all like the old place on Wapping High Street.
