[quote name='cheddatom' post='52794' date='Aug 30 2007, 02:07 PM']Hah, Stoke! That's where i'm from :-/ There are a few shops on Hope street, but, they're not doing very well. Rythm House has some interesting basses and amps, but, it's a small place and does everything. The other shops on the same street are route 66 which may have a random beauty, but has probably gone bust since I was last there, and Kays music, which has a nice selection of bass amps upstairs. There was another couple of music shops in Hanley, but they're closed now. The sound control on the other side of Hanley is allright.[/quote]
My girlfriend's from Stoke and I was in the Sound Control in Hanley last week. I remember an ampeg fridge and a quite a lot of ashdown gear, squiers and a couple of fenders. Tried out a Boss OC-2, guy was very helpful, didn't have any money on me, but fueled the GAS. That's just the way i roll.
