ape Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I'm going to pop down to bass direct today in Warwick as I realized it's only about a 30 minute drive from the girlfriend's, anyone else been? They've got a Wal, I've always wanted to try one, I'm so excited but I really hope I don't like it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Make sure you leave your credit card at home. Going by accounts on here, you WILL leave with a bass otherwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I live 5 minutes away, it is a superb place. High end basses galore, but you will be disappointed if you are going there for a P bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah I didn't know that lol, I didn't realize it was such a small shop was kind of expecting a big lass fronted store. [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1399114472' post='2441144'] she might want to take a book! [/quote] Funnily enough she took her kindle with her haha. They seem like a nice bunch, managed to behave and only buy a new set of strap locks for my project bass, got to play with 2 basses I was really curious about though a Wal and a Status, and the genz benz streamliner amps which I've been eyeing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2004gdavi Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Great place and well worth a visit or two. Doesn't always have all of the basses available to try. If you want to try a specific bass call before hand to avoid disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yep only a few left but still got a few streamliner 600's I was gutted as I didn't have the cash, 2 year warranty as well, get yourself in there they are fantastic sounding amps.

[/quote] Yeah I realized after I turned up I guess I was expecting something a little more like academy of sound rather than a fairly small shop, they have got some properly serious basses though, got to play with the Wal I wanted to to try and a status, I really really really want a status now but one with a head.
