Wunjo Bass have moved

[cybertect]

I don't think this news has been posted here before...

In case anyone didn't know, last weekend Wunjo Bass moved from their shop at 22 Denmark Street into the basement of No. 23, below the keyboards shop.

I've written a blog post about the move with a bunch of photographs on my Denmark Street project site, [url="http://streetofsound.uk/news/wunjo-bass-move/"]Street of Sound[/url]

A couple of pics as a teaser:

Thanks Rob - must visit one of these days. I see that no matter how big the new room, it's already filled to capacity with basses!

and what a pleasing sight that is

I know that basement well ... I bloody hope they've done something to make the external stairs a bit safer!

There's about 3 people in there called Tom. Well, at least 2

[Happy Jack]

They're forming a Basement Jaxx tribute act, to be called Basement Tomz ...

Yes. There's Tom Tit, Tommy Rot and Tom O'Rrow

[Rich]

One of the two** shops in London worth visiting.



** three if you include V&R.

And there's Tom R. Toe and Tom Bowler.

I was in there on Monday, Tom's a lovely chap.

Such a change from the atmosphere in some of the other shops that used to be there.

Well that leaves the field wide open, doesn't it?

Which Tom?

Well?

[LewisK1975]

Yep - the Tom in the top photo is a great guy, did me a great deal on a Fender Geddy Lee a few years ago, and sourced me a couple of thing I was looking for too. Excellent!

Ah, that's Tom

[Silvia Bluejay]

Visited the shop this afternoon, said hi to the Toms, saw a lot of nice basses! Lefty models are well represented. I managed to stop myself from going home with a gorgeous lefty Streamer, at least this time. Happy Jack's GAS had the better of him, though, so we now have a new bass family member awaiting its photo session and NBD thread...

Vordeman and Riley? I don't think it's called that any more.

Ah Tom Bowler, purveyor of fine meat, washing baskets, and also decent prizes I never win at social club and holiday camp gigs.

Tom O'Stik there?

[luckydog]

Yup i've found good advice and loads of stock at Munjo bass, most recently about flat strings and they carry about half a dozen types in stock.

Viva Denmark St !

V&R isn't there any more, it's quite helpfully called "No Tom Vintage & Classic Guitars", seriously. https://notomguitars.com/

Nothing for now. The building is being stripped out and refurbished with a full electric rewire.

Wunjo will be moving back when it's done.
