budget bassist Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 [quote name='Doddy' post='795377' date='Apr 3 2010, 10:55 PM']The only time I've ever had a problem in a music shop,is in a certain shop in Birmingham-I won't name them but it's opposite New Street Station and sounds similar to Fair Deal Music. I been in to the shop numerous times and never had any problems,but on this occasion the guys in the shop wouldn't let me go look upstairs where the Basses were because I was wearing an ankle length coat.If they'd have asked me if I minded removing it or something I would've done,but they didn't....just that I couldn't go upstairs because of my coat. This will be about 3 or 4 years ago,so it wasn't like I was kid or anything. So,I just walked down the road and spent my money in Sound Control instead.[/quote] You won't name and shame them yet you give their exact location? Just name and shame.

bartelby Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 For a totally non-judgmental shop, I popped into Bass Direct yesterday. What a fantastic place!! Bloody dangerous though, I went in for a strap and strap locks and nearly came way with those and a couple of EBS pedals! I managed to keep my focus though. Mark left me to have a look around whilst he finished some paperwork. The selection of basses is incredible. I'm very taken with Dingwall basses. Had a nice chat with Mark as he sorted out my purchases. I'll definitely be purchasing stuff from there in future, just need to save rather a lot first!

Pete Academy Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 A friend of mine popped into Bass Direct yesterday for a look round and came out with a Roscoe CS4. It is indeed a dangerous place for the GAS-afflicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
