Toronto Bass Rental

Howdy. I need to rent a bass in Toronto around the end of November for Wed thru Sunday. Close to the Rogers Center would be ideal. W/Jet says they cannot take my bass, total allowed is 79" combined HxWxT. Sunday return preferred, otherwise I have to bring the slab as well.

Suggestions?

Check out "The Sound Post" or Heinl's, both reputable shops in TO.

Thanks for the tips. Is it worth checking out L&M? They seem close to the venue

I know Heinl's used to have a funky white fibreglass bass to rent. It has lots of signatures on it as well. You could probably add yours.

Yes. Worth checking out. They provide equipment to lots of places around town, and I know for sure they rent.

L&M probably doesn't have many basses set up. I'd go with Heinl music

L&M is also closed Sunday so Sunday return is out of the question.
