iamapirate Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Anyone know of any? I'm here for 10 days (a VERY packed 10 days) and I am looking for a place to get my bass buying/playing fix. (not that I'd buy a bass - wouldnt be able to get it home) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancep Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The only place I know of is the Virgin Megastore in The Mall of the Emirates which stocks Yamaha instruments. Oh wait, there's also an instrument shop in Madinat. Everything is grossly overpriced though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 There's a place in the mall by the marina but it only does cheap stuff. Given its so easy to import, I'd be surprised if there's much demand for pro quality stuff given the likely numbers of musicians living there. Its not exactly a cultural hotspot. The hire companies had OK gear when we played there last year, mostly ashdown though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I was in Abu Dhabi last year and there were a few there. The one I was in had most well-known makes, but specialised in Cort (surprisingly good) and had a good ranger of prices. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
