[size=4]Well the title says it all really sorry if this has been done before I did search for a thread on this but could not find one so I started a new one.[/size]I do most of my Bass shopping online mainly for the reason that there is not really any good music shops near where I live and I cant drive at the moment so online shopping is great for me as I can have the stuff delivered the only real drawback is you cant really try stuff, So I just wondered if you guys shopped online for Bass stuff or use your local music shops? when buying large items such as basses and amps I always look in the for sale area here as a starting point but for smaller items such as strings, straps etc etc I tend to use ebay Amazon and strings direct I have just started using Thomann also for a few purchases and find them pretty good. looking forward to your answers on this one guys
