visog Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 We need to hang-on to these two.. Dropped into the Bass Gallery to try a bass and pick-up some bits... Awesome stock... Ridiculous basses available. https://thebassgallery.com/ Less recently, but likewise a humbling experience is Bass Direct... http://w.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Home.html Martin and Mark last men standing.

visog Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Fodera not your thing, not a problem, how about this? A similar blunt trauma to your bank balance...

ezbass Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Fabulous shop who are happy for you try anything from cheap and cheerful to this kind of exotica. I also recommend their commission sale service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visog Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Let's even it up for BD... here's a frankly stunning bass and a 'cheapy' compared with the previous posts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzbass Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'm SO glad that Australia's two bass shops are thousands of miles away from me, and my car won't make it that far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHUFC BASS Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I am now lusting after this from Bass Direct: I've just noticed though that the export price outside of the EU is cheaper by £300. Any idea why that is ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I've bought amps and cabs from Bassdirect and always get my basses serviced at the Gallery. I've only ever had great dealings with both. Heaven for bass players. The economy is poised to drop off a cliff which will put a lot of pressure on specialised shops like these guys. I hope they can weather the storm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
