Bass 24/7, maybe?? They may be the only one though.
Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Fairdeal Music on Smallbrook Queensway, just outside new Street station, Guitar Guitar is about a 15 min walk from there, PMT across town a bit in Saltley, there used to be a small place under the arches near Moor St station, but I forget the name now.

Fair Deal for generic and boring Ibanez, Squier and Yamaha basses. PMT for the same plus a few good Fenders, Musicman and Sandberg. GuitarGuitar for all of the above minus Sandberg but in place is Lakland and Sadowsky. Guess which wins for me.

Used to ba a Bass Center under the arches near where there used to be a Musical Exchanges... I think both are now gone. PMT is ok

Yep, both gone now. I've found the PMT guys to be very friendly and not at all poseycand patronising. But I've never bought a bass there - just extras such as strap locks etc and a few music books.

I've been going to PMT for about 10 years and think whilst their stock is decent the staff have changed. Went a couple of times with money to spend and walked out as I couldn't find someone to serve me.

That's a shame Machines. Maybe they're just under staffed.? I 've always found them to be really nice. And as a mature woman but a bit of a novice bass player I sometimes find music shops a bit intimidating. But the PMT guys always seem friendly.

[Machines]

They are friendly. And good at hiding.

I'd keep going on the m6 and go to bass direct
