dave moffat Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 finally found the bass I'm after with these folk, not bought an instrument online, just wondering if anyone has any experience with them before I pull the trigger on my GAS, looking at a bass and hard case, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleOhStephan Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 They have a store just down the road from where I used to live. Big showroom, decent stock, think you'll be fine. What ya buying?? 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I’ve been in their shop in Romford many times to try basses they are quite a reputable company, but I’ve never bought anything online , I would have thought you will be fine 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave moffat Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 Thanks, I'll get on with ordering the new bass and case then and be an utter PITA round the house until they arrive. Ibanez SR400-DEB and Fame Hard case to keep it in. Then off to a local luthier to de-fret. Nearest decent bass place for me is miles away in Glasgow or Edinburgh, doesn't stop me dropping into the local music shop for a play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave moffat Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 I am going to be an utter pain like an overexcited kid on Christmas eve, until the package arrives and then until it comes back from the luthier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 In fact it's Music Store, from Cologne in Germany. They were clever enough to buy a franchise so they still will be present on the UK soil after the Brexit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verb Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I made a small on line purchase from them recently, it was all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Bought my current favourite guitar (lovely little £113 Tele Thinline copy) from them, very happy with the service, instrument arrived promptly & in perfect condition, with a setup I've not needed to touch. Would definitely buy from them again. Think they're in direct competiton with Thomann, so the standard of service is on the same level.

Bigguy2017 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Just bought a Friedman Runt 20 combo from them. Excellent price, great service, speedy delivery from Cologne DE. Yes, I'd use them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, they are as it's Music Store, the other biggest online European store with Thomann. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s closed now. Romford must be their one and only store. I know everything I’ve bought online has come from Germany. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a shame the store is closed , because there’s not many places left now where you can actually try things out, the Romford store is more equipped for studio equipment but they have a good selection of basses and a nice practice room 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Steve Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 bought a few bits and pieces online from them over the years, including my Ampeg SVT-2 PRO, and no problems whatsoever. But that was back before their current owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Mark Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I've bought quite a lot of gear from them over the years. Good prices and no quibble customer services. One problem on my last order was that my EHX bass mono synth was supplied with a european pin power supply as I assume it came from German central warehouse. I had to make several calls in order to receive a physically larger no name UK power supply. Not ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave moffat Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 Pretty sure my bass is coming from the continents so will be very surprised if it's here before the New Year. will update with my experiences when it gets here.

What have you gone for? Ive spotted an ex_demo G&L LB100 for £383 to go along with my L2000 in blueburst. Love G&Ls - MUST RESIST!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
