Yup, Bass Gallery is the place. Denmark st is doomed, despite Wunjo doing their best to create a shopping atmosphere that wasn't repellent. I'll miss it though - I spent a lot of time lurking in andy's in the 90s...

Indeed - lovely basses Mikkel btw I'm on the lookout for a Celinder jazz so if you have one that's sitting under the bed unloved, drop me line! Has to be four strings and less than 9.5lbs in weight preferably.

I'm still searching for the perfect J…and I will find it one day...

Thomastiks! Love love love thomastiks...

My first bass was a 1983 Japanese replica of the ash/maple/black blocks jazz bass variety under the Morris trade name. It was a shocking, shocking bass. Worse than your worst nightmares!

Yup - Jamiroquai...odd band. Saw them at their height in around 95/96 at the Notting Hill Carnival and there was a charisma bypass happening on stage. Weird, given that he's a crafty mover. It sounded like terrible pastiche to me.

Oooo, very nice indeed!

Very smooth transaction. Thanks Steve!

S'funny - I play a Rickenbacker and a Stingray and don't give a guff about people slagging either bass off as, um, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Also, the weak G string is present on most Stingrays I have tried. I had a '94 (now sold) that had a very weak G string. My Classic, on the other hand, is strong like bull Getting upset about people slagging off the model of your bass is a major warning that you need to get a sense of perspective. These brand specific websites are a fantastic source of information but the mildest criticism will nark off the passive aggressive obsessive compulsives that act as self-elected brand reps who see themselves as protector of Sterling Ball's honour etc etc (he can protect himself very adequately I'm sure).

Good voice there…communicates the song well...
