There are only 2 music shops worth visiting in London (for us), The Bass Gallery & The Bass Centre. NOW, as I have had a skinful of being treated like a f**king monkey by the a**hole in the Bass Centre that just leaves Alex's shop, The Bass Gallery which, IMHO, is a wonderful place full of lovely basses (some nice rare ones) and a couple of great blokes.

I would say making the time to go here is a million times better than wandering around Denmark Street looking at crappy basses that are twice the price they should be.

Ping Alex (alexcar6677) and organise something maybe. He can take his Series II #38? which was re-furbed and apparently looks wonderful!

Wish I was gonna be there :(

Thanks for the feedback themoo !

Shame but Alex won't be working that week, but let's go and visit anyway!!

André

Bump ;)

Yeh im up for the Gallery, there are a few basses there i like to get my paws on, the BassCenter is full of Warwicks, happy to go there if you guys want to, and well Denmark street is well Denmark street, Hanks is quite nice if you like acoustic guitars and the likes and there is another shop that ok , i forget the name , but mainly guitars. And there's Soundcontrol, always fun if you want to watch some teenager thrashing about on guitars.

What time do you want to meet , and Steve Im me you mobile,

And any other takers...

Trev

Seems most shops close at 17:00, so how about 14:00?

I'll be there with my friend Sacha from Paris (but please don't mention the Rugby ... :o )

Time permitting, drinks are on me after shopping ;)

I know nothing of this Rugby you talk about, want to meet in Denmark Street first as it quite central then move up to the Bassgallery (a few stops on the Tube)

That would work fine for me - Who is joining then?

That's fine here - I shall be able to make it to Denmark Street unaccompanied. Probably spending all of Friday in Gerrards!

Sorry guys but I'm going to have to pass. It's my Mum's birthday and I daren't miss it. Ideally she'd be a bass fan and I could bring her along but sadly she isn't. :(

Have a great time.

So we meet anywhere on the map :o or somewhere in particular ?

Junction of Charing Cross Road and Denmark Street, 2pm

yep, call me if you get lost! Denmark street is only about 100 meters long so it not that easy to got lost in, unlike northampton ;)

Pretty easy ;) See you there around 14:00

Nobody else joining us?

I would loved to have come. I know Trevor but it would have been nice to meet the rest of you. I'm just too bogged down with work unfortunately. Have fun though! :)

Well it would have nice to bring her along, maybe a nice bass for her birthday ? ;)

Have a nice day.... and need I say.. PICTURES PLEASE

Well back home for now after a nice weekend in London!

Was nice to meet G77 and Steve as well as some other of members (believe there is a pic Angie?)

London weather was fabulous for the season, but the music stores in Denmakr street did seem to be copy and pasted from each other ;)

Now looking forward to the next Bash!

Yes there will be a pic. but hubby hasn't moved with the times!!! his camera takes film, so may be a while 'til they get developed. will post as soon as I have it. Good to meet you guys, see you at the bash??
