dazza14 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I thought i'd start a new thread for our local music shops. You know, the ones that maybe don't have the best selection of basses, amps or whatever but you return again and again because you like trying the basses and chatting rubbish with them. I'm lucky in the way that i live in a town with three music shops, two of them very good for guitar selection, but can anyone name their favourite in their locality? Come on, throw your recommended shops forward and maybe tell everyone why you like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza14 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 My recommended shop is Kempster and Sons, Commercial Road, Swindon. The reason being they have a wide selection of basses, (Rickenbacker, Fender, Squier, Danelectro, Aria, Musicman, Stagg, Vintage, Gibson) all crammed into a small corner with a good selection of amps to try them out on. They also have a 3/4 double bass and Stagg electric upright too. Paul, who works in there is really friendly and is always happy to let you try them out. The one thing i would improve is their selection on strings, they don't stock too many but to be fair i buy them online anyway, maybe the shop can't compete with online prices... Anyway if you are ever near Swindon i highly recommend Kempsters and Sons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Rock Hard Music In MK http://www.rockhard-music.com/ Mainly for the incredible levels of abuse I get everytime I walk through the door, just like being at home Once past that however, a knowledgeable bunch o' blokes and prices that are agreeable, not forgetting the 'cheeky bastard' discounts thats printed on the receipts (thats what is says...honest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I`ve always had good service (and abuse) from Coda Music in Stevenage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
