Popped into Mansons ...

I was passing Exeter yesterday so I made a little time to pop into [url="http://www.mansons.co.uk/shopping/categories/bass-guitars/"]Mansons Guitar Shop[/url]. I was very impressed.

They have a fine selection of basses I'd heard of but not had a chance to try. It wasn't busy as it was Wednesday morning but I was left to try anything there.

In the unusual department they had a selection (a [i]selection[/i]!) of Zons, a Smith 6 line fretless and 3 Pedullas.
In the Fenders there were a couple of CS vintage things (didn't bother) a real 79 P much like the one I have and some Lakland super Ps and super Jazzes.
They had a Marcus Miller Jazz and Geddy Lee Jazz too.
The Shine "inspired by" a Ric 4001 was also pretty good for cheap money

Very nice to strap these things on and give them a go. Nice also to realise I really like what I already have :)

The staff there were very nice and just left me to it. The customers coming in were nice and sociable too and I may have recruited a few for Basschat...

Maybe we need a poster for the bass trying area of music shops...

Did they finally have any Legacys in or just the usual pile of Sonus basses?

I badly wanted the '62 reissue Jazz from there:

But I think it's been sold now!! Grrr :)

Sorry, I don't know what kind they were...

There was a stack knob jazz on the wall but I don't think it was pink ..... ....
