Mike Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Well, I'm not confused, but I can see how confusion might arise - is it recently that the Gallery has been re-branded "The Gallery: Bass Merchant" ? [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/"]Link.[/url] Might cause some confusion with the excellent Bass Merchant in Colchester. I use both stores and they are both excellent. Is this a new thing at the Gallery? Quote
Musicman20 Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Hmmm! That is odd...and may cause confusion. Quote
Tait Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 the change in name kind of makes sense, i mean, if you hadn't heard of it before, would you have really guessed "the gallery" is a bass shop? using the words bass merchant does seem a bit weird, but i guess thats just one of those things. they could have even done it to help against competition i guess, if you google the words "bass merchant" the gallery is now third.

crez5150 Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 It's been like this for a good few months..... was mentioned here some time ago..... guess the Gallery need to make sure they get seen on google under bass merchant Quote

XB26354 Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I think you'll find the sign over the door has always said The Gallery, Bass Merchant. At least it has been since I first when there in 1993. Quote
Mike Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 Is that right? Never noticed! Well, I suppose it could be worse for people to confuse two fine establishments - at least there's no risk of wandering into the Bass Cellar! Quote
geoffbassist Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I think they were there first! :-) Quote
skankdelvar Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 No good will come of this. I predict fat fees for m'learned friends. Quote
