spongebob Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I'm not a Londoner, but I visited The Bass Gallery when I was there. Great shop and very nice staff. Sold a bass via commission with them afterwards. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Bluejay Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Wunjos Basses in Denmark Street too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Yup. The Gallery in Camden and Wunjo Guitars on Denmark Street cover a lot of ground as they both have quite a lot of stock and pretty broad selections. Something for everyone in these two shops! The guys in Wunjo in particular have bent over backwards to help me out on a few occasions. They’ll often do deals on things too. The Gallery probably leans more toward the “boutique” end of the spectrum. Also, the staff in both establishments are friendly and happy to let you try stuff out. Don’t be afraid to ask! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshy Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Only dealt with Wunjo but they were fantastic and are looking for a Candy Red 70's P for me now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 The Gallery in Camden have a security system where you have to buzz to get inside. Wunjo is just a normal shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 @thebassgallery call ahead and tell them you want tea and biscuits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicko Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Never been to the Bass Gallery, but another recommendation for Wunjo. If theres something particular you want its worth contacting Webley Music Centre to see if they have a model on display - they stock a big range but have few out in the shop. Its a bit of a pain to get to as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricksterphil Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 +1 for The Bass Gallery. Not visited yet - will put this right in a couple of weeks hopefully. Bought a bass of them recently online which had a problem on arrival and Charlie sorted it all out with minimum of fuss and maximum understanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
three Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Another vote for the Bass Gallery - I've been a regular customer for many years (though tend to work less in London now so don't have so much chance to visit). Unparalleled expertise, genuinely lovely people and an amazing selection of instruments and amps. Martin is a genuine genius - I would trust him with basses that I wouldn't let others touch. Wunjos too - always a friendly welcome and knowledgeable staff in an otherwise rather grim part of the city - some of the other shops on Denmark St don't really shine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 There is also a Guitar Guitar in Camden, walking distance from the Gallery, and a Guitar Guitar in Epsom, if you're out that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZilchWoolham Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) There's a few (eight, in fact) in this list I've compiled: Edited June 19, 2018 by ZilchWoolham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Stingray 62 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I get to London a couple of times a year and always go to the gallery the best shop in town if you're after a high end bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
