oldslapper Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 For those who live in and around Bath, Vintage & Rare are no longer the only game in town. http://www.guitarbitz.com/about-us-i1 Early days, so only a few MIM & USA fenders, but they'll match their on line prices, and decent stock of strings.

Cat Burrito Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Literally a stones throw from my old flat I had in the 90s. I'll check it out next time I'm in Bath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've warned domestic management 😁 Made me laugh that I only noticed it when I was walking to V&R to drool over a YOB P bass they had in, and heard this loud telecaster twang coming from the other side of the street...and it's on Quiet Street....

Stylon Pilson Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Cute coincidence, I was in Bath at the weekend and stumbled into this place on my way back to the car. As OP says, the range of basses on the wall is very "safe" but that's par for the course with music shops that don't explicitly specialise in bass. S.P.

grahamd Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Popped in and said hello, friendly helpful staff. Elixir, Fender and D'Addario strings. Good luck to em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzoid Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Kind of annoyed they've moved to Bath as they were only a couple of minutes from where I live in Frome so was handy to pop in for strings and stuff. Bought two basses from them too - great service, always happy to chat and let you try guitars out, they're also happy to order stuff in (well, Fender/Squier at least...) Wishing them luck in Bath, but wish they'd stayed in Frome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakester Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I think they're still in Frome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy109 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Sounds of Frome is still there - popped up last night after a trip to the Westway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzoid Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Not had much luck with Sounds of Frome - when we first moved here I enquired about ordering some stuff through them, initially they seemed interested (and it was within what they could do... apparently) and then they just never bothered to follow through - so I've never really bothered with them since. Maybe need to re-visit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Popped into Guitarbitz today, popped out a few minutes later. A few Squiers, some MIA and no Bass amps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
