hillbilly deluxe Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Found this elswhere. Hello all Need a bit of help/input. I am opening a shop in the southside of Glasgow and yes its a bass shop! As far as i am aware there are no specialist shops for us in Scotland and i find the range available in most instrument shops to be somewhat lacking, i intend to sell through the shop but also online to the rest of the country and should have delearships in place to cover everyone from beginners to pros, question i need some input for are 1) Would you welcome a specialist bass shop in Scotland 2) How often would you anticipate using it 3) Are you more likely to visit the shop or order online? 4) How much (roughly) do you spend on bass gear, accesories etc per year 5) What would you most like to see in the shop. If you can answer any of these it would be a great help either here or by email to [email protected] thanks in advance jj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelk27 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Not wanting to be a pedant, but shouldn't the title of this thread read "Scots Bass Players"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Cant see it paying. The guy that owns CC Music in Glasgow (cant remember his name) sells 10 guitars (cue some Engelbert) to each bass he sells. Also, you`ve got guitarguitar and Merchant city who have decent stock and prices. Of course I could be wrong, mabye people don`t like the above mentioned shops.

Hutton Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Maybe more basses would be sold in a dedicated shop. However, as has been said the OP has gone down this route before. How much more information can we give? Is this just a pipe dream.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I like CC and they are just around the corner from my work, they have a very limited selection of basses - mostly lower end. GuitarGuitar is very good though - it's choc full of high end stuff and they've always managed to do me a very good deal. Good luck, as they say, but it wouldn't be me either.

What would be incorrect, and often misused in cases such as this, is the term 'Scotch'. Hey, but what do I know - I'm just a lowly Sassenach!
