kas_lar Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hello everyone! I found this basschat forum a few weeks ago and I'am really injoying reading all your posts. Me and a good friend (She's single ) are talking about going to London from the 17st to til 22nd of August. We just want to hang out and see the city. Of cause I want to see cool concerts and maybe buy a good bass. I'm looking for soul, R'n'B, rock and groovy concerts, and mostly used and vintage bassshops but I'd like to try a Mike Lull or Sadowsky in London. I've heard about Denmark street, but which shops is the best? If anyone like to meet up and have a warm cop or coffee, a bier, try some basses or see a concert with me and my friend just say something here!

BigRedX Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Denmark Street is fine if all you want to do is look (as in look only) at some instruments and be ignored by the 'sales' staff. If you actually want to try and maybe buy a decent bass go to [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/"]The Gallery[/url] in Camden. Ill be there sometime during that week to pick up my new Sei bass which has just been finished... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 As far as Denmark Street goes, The bass Cellar make you feel as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit, and last time I went there their policy was to have no prices marked on anything. Vintage & rare usually has some cool stuff. Wunjo have some good stuff and some that look like they came straight out of a US pawnshop and went straight on display - so would probably be OK after a setup/new strings/refret. No real bargains in either though ( Its worth the trip to Camden to check out the gallery. Al & Martin are always welcoming and have great gear - and everything seems to be well set up. Don't worry if the shop looks closed when you get there, just ring the doorbell and you'll be buzzed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
