bassix Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hi all, I'm visiting my mum in Cheltenham over the Christmas period and wondered if there were any decent music stores I should be aware of? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJE Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Aroundabout Sound all the way. There was another shop closer to teh centre of town but that has recently closed down. Aroundabout have a good selection of bass gear, Mark the owner has a stunning GB spitfire for sale there and last time I went in there was a mighty looking Eden stack as well. if you goodle them they keep a few bits on their website. Great shop and the owners are really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos3h Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I've not been there in 3 or 4 years! However, AroundaboutSound used to be quite good, albeit very pricey. I found they were open to haggling though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRadford Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) There is Soundhouse a bit further up the high street in Cheltenham, not been there for 10+ years though. In Gloucester, there is a Soundhouse. Went in a few weeks back, nothing amazing just the usual squire and Ibanez stuff. There is also a shop just out of town on Barton Street called A Remus sound. I havent been in for ages although keep meaning too. I drove past it last week and they had what looked very much like a Wawrick Thumb hanging in the window. The younger guy in there was an amazing guitarist and bassist. I presume its still him who runs it. There is a small music shop in the new Quays development, but I think its just cheap crap. Sadly Gloucester Music Co on Westgate Streets shutdown several years ago and is now a EU food shop or something. There are also a crap converter and similar shop oppossite that sometimes has something of interest in them on Northgate Street by Wilinksons.

They had a really nice Alembic copy I was eying but someone bought it the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassix Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Thanks for the replies, I was in crack converters (in gloucester) yesterday and there was nothing of interest, I may check out the place in Cheltenham tomorrow as I'm currently at a loose end.
