Thanks all- the barnet store is not so far away so we can go there for a play. I originally searched denmark street in google and found this forum by clicking on a link to an old thread (2008) completely slating one particular bass shop! We had visited it before now but just for a browse so no experience of the service- which judging by the posts at the time of the thread seemed very poor. might visit the shops closer to home first.

Oh and I don't think it's particularly popular make- aria I think! Edit- its actually a Yamaha. Oh dear not a very observant fan obviously hehe

Thanks! Perhaps its not 'that' old, got to be about 15 years at the least. He loves playing it- just super worried that something will happen to it whilst travelling to pubs etc,and prefer to play at leisure at home I suppose. Will point him to the for sale section thanks!

Hello all. My husband is a bassist in a local covers band, and they are getting a lot more gigs to play .The bass he currently plays is quite old and holds a lot of sentimental value. He's been wanting to buy a new one for a long time as he wants to keep this bass in perfect condition. I've decided it's time he got his well deserved new bass so it's going to be my gift to him! I know it's a very personal item to buy and he needs to play and choose the right one for him. I have a budget of about £300 and am looking for the most helpful place to visit. Can anyone point us in the right direction, and even give some ideas on basses within the budget? Many thanks in advance!
