Hi David, I have I just joined today and I'm Weymouth based. I to go to Absolute music in Bournemouth if I want best selection. Guitar mania in between Poole and Bournemouth is OK but much smaller. Still even Absolute music's bass section is a smallish corner in a massive room of guitars. It's a fun place though. Failing that Exeter, you can Southampton or if need max choice take the train to London for the day and hit Denmark Street! Cheers
