I'm ex Plod btw.[/quote] Plod, that must mean police officer then right? I wouldn't be tempted to break the law. Carrying a knife is just what I am accustomed to. Guess I'll be leaving it at home. Unless... Anyone want to buy a Kershaw spring assisted knife? £50? J/K Thanks

Yeah I guess I'll just have to try a few. I am partial to fish and chips back home and I live 2000 miles from the ocean. Are the prices on the Bass Centre website correct. If they are I am sorry for all of you. I can get an EHX Big Muff for about $80 and that website has them for £85 so thats what $170? Jesus! And a Tech 21 Sansamp Bass driver DI is $200 here and £179 there. Wow I should just fill up a suitcase with American made effects pedals. Are there strict laws regarding knives there as there are laws regarding guns? I generally alwas carry a folding knife with about a 10cm blade on it and I wouldn't want to get in trouble for carrying a conceled weapon or something like that. Thanks for the heads up on luthiers to watch out for. I have always been a kind of out of the box musician so I have never really owned any custom instruments. I would really hate to come home with a high end piece of sh*t.

Thanks! Mostly looking for a thumb. Where is the best place to get fish and chips?

Yes I am big, hence the name. My wife visited last year and said that if I visited I would easily be the largest man on the island. (she might have been exaggerating a bit) Looks like my best bet as far as bringing a bass with me would be a Lakland or a Fender. I really am only interested in a Warwick and figured since the Warwick factory is about 4500 miles closer to you than it is to me I might be able to save a few bucks. I am also interested in finding things to do while she is at school. I suppose I should mention that my wife is a 4th year psychology major going to study in Brighton for the summer (don't ask me, it has something to do with getting a couple extra letters after your name.) Anyway, let me know what you guys think I really know nothing about the UK.

Hello. I am Dave. I live in the US. I am planning a trip to the UK soon and just wanted to aquaint myself with the music scene over there. I mostly was looking to pick up a bass that would be hard to find here and maybe bring a bass from here that is hard to find there. I am into hard rock and metal. I have been playing for well... about 8 years now but you wouldn't know it by listening to me. I will most likely be staying in the Brighton or Lewes area. I have already heard of a couple good music shops to go to and have been drooling over the Status Graphite basses for a couple weeks now untill today when I opened my inbox and there was the price list. I don't think even both of my kidneys are worth that much. I will probably be looking for a Warwick Thumb (I hear that it is to be pronounced "War Rick" Not "War Wick" as we say in the States.) I would also be interested in a killer looking headless bass that is not a Stainberger if anyone knows of any. Thanks guys. Big Dave
