chilievans Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Does anyone know of a bass shop in the south Wales area with a good selection guitars for me to try out. Cranes is ok but I'm looking for a bigger stock of instruments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotnwhy Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 no such thing exists i'm afraid... trip along the M4 or hop on the train if you want to try a selection of basses i'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 [url="http://www.cardiffguitars.co.uk/"]Cardiff Guitars[/url] is pretty good - they've certainly got a lot of stock given how small the shop is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LemonCello Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Cranes have just had a lot of stock in which isn't represented on their website. Lot's of squiers, fenders, epi's etc and Hudson, their own brand. Gamlins have a good but limited stock - Cort, Fender, Squier etc. Cardiff guitars only carry second hand basses in the shop but are worth a look depending what you are after. They have inexpensive beginner stuff to vintage Fenders. Simon also knows what he's talking about and is a great guy to deal with.

RhysP Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 There hasn't been a music shop in Wales with a decent bass selection since Livewire closed in the 90's. Jaydee, Status, Alembic, Manson, Pangbourn, Steinberger, Wal & many others - it was the best music shop there has ever been in Wales (if not the UK) IMO.

First time I went I came back with my wonderful Roscoe LG3000! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiddon Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'm in the market for a decent 5 string so I'm game. I'll be driving out of Cardiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
