Old Horse Murphy Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Just thinking about old times as I do some days and it struck me just how much I miss Bass Gear and my frequent jaunts across to see Barrie @molan Phil and the dearly departed Vic. It was always a special place to; my own Tiffany's as it were and I was always made to feel very welcome. Great times 😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
police squad Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I went there only once and met them all. Spent hours trialling the TKS range with JT. He ordered a pair of 1x12 cabs that sound awesome. Shame they closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldon Tyrell Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I will also always remember Bass Gear. It's where I bought my first Spector (Legend NT) back in 16. I felt really welcomed and not pressured to buy anything. Great place 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Yes was great to have had a top Bass shop easy to get to, I bought quite a bit from them as well as supporting them by selling a couple of my basses through the shop, even with the mark up etc I felt it was the right thing to do.

CameronJ Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I bought my first ever proper bass cab from Bass Gear! They were so helpful, friendly and patient. Such a great shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 The loss of our Vic knocked the heart out of us really. Although we’d already decided to close the main shop, Vic & I had put a plan together to keep a smaller version of the business running on an ‘appointment only’ basis. Without him I lost the motivation to do anything. Might have something interesting on the horizon later this year though 😉 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisthebass Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Was quite handy having a "Bass Specific" shop not too far away from where I lived at the time - only visited a few times, but bought my TH500 and my Mono gig bag from there (both still in use). Vic was a really nice guy, passed way too early ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I only went once. It was a nice place and Vic let me try just about everything I wanted. He was a knowledgeable host and made a decent cuppa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
