I have visited the Bass Centre three times in the last year. The first time around, they told me they could order-in a Roscoe bass on my behalf. I gave them the details of what I wanted - they never rung me back. The second time I visited, they roundly ignored me for about 20 minutes, whilst the "assistant" behind the counter held a 20-minute conversation with what appeared to be a friend of his. I clearly don't learn from my mistakes, because I tried for a third time about two weeks ago. I expressed interest in a particular bass and asked to try it (it was new). After trying to get it to work, the assistant realised there was no battery in the bass and asked me to wait whilst "our guy upstairs" fitrted one. 15 minutes later, I walked out of the shop and vowed never to return. I have been a bass-player for 30 years, and I have never been treated with so much contempt by a retailer. I completely fail to understand how these people are still in business. I would urge anyone to think twice before trying to shop there.

Good choice - Looks really cool with your Wal! - I bought a Little Mark head at GAK - use it with an Aguilar 2 x 10" for small gigs and it works a treat and sounds great in small venues. Doesn't induce a hernia either! Clever these Italians!
