Lew-Bass Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Going to the capital for the day with my girlfriend, so naturally, I'm going to want to find a good bass store! I'll only get away with one store before she starts to moan so which would be the best one for me to go to? I would ideally like to play some basses through amps (possibly with effect pedals but not too bothered) with a view to buying online afterward.

CamdenRob Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The gallery in camden has the biggest selection (check out their webpage) I live just around the corner so I've been a few times, although their buzzer system is a little intimidating and unfriendly the first time you go there... They are top blokes though and more than willing to let you try anything out (in my experience). Although maybe check they are open on a bank holiday... My one and only visit to Wunjos on denmark street was a positive experience as well and they seem to stock all the usual suspects.

Lew-Bass Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'm going to be pretty central as is the nature of a day visit, so I'm guessing covent garden ways, although I'll have access to the tube so wherever that isn't too far out really! I should probably add that I'm a lefty too, so that makes basses a little more difficult! I went a few weeks ago and was in Wunjos, can fully attest to them being great guys, gave me some very good advice (advice that even could potentially have cost them a sale!)

molan Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Wunjos is about he only decent place near Covent Garden. The trick on going to the Gallery is to dispatch the girlfriend off to Camden Market. Loads to see and plenty of bars, restaurants, coffee shops etc to meet up later. It's just a few minutes walk apart so she can browse the market stalls whilst you partake of much bass goodness As previously said - definitely need to check if it's open on a BH Monday though.
