Can someone list a few solid online stores that sell great bass gear? I've dealt with Bass NW (top notch). Any other "can't miss" online stores that have great gear in stock?
Thanks.

LUCKY ME, I'm sure any of the big boys, Bass Central, Bass Northwest, Bass Alone, and Low Down will treat you good, I haven't heard any complaints, I have also dealt with a couple of gutiar shops that are worth checking ecsp. for used stuff. Elderly Music, great for vintage stuff also a sadowsky dealer, and G gutiars get some good used gear in , I'm sure there are others I missed. |

Got to mention Bass Central. They are local to me, but I would trust them online also. I recommend them highly.

all of them are simply excellent people: extremely professional and absolutely customer oriented. My direct experience from very far away (Italy!) is that not only they will treat you ok, but you get to know excellent human beings, too!!!
Unbeatable guys, if you ask me.

John is a great guy to deal with. He deals in high-end stuff but you can occasionally find a lower priced deal through him. I purchased a Tune Bass Maniac fretless from him a few years ago.

Good selection of gear and knowledgeable people.
Grasshopper was the one I dealt with, and he went above and beyond...not only before and during the sale, but also well after.

Also, you might try The Bass Place in Tempe, AZ. Of course Bass Central, but Gard's not there any more.

Dude (VBTC) The absolute best if you want Lakland, Rotosound, TI, EBS, KSD, and a few other lines
Bass Central (always great to deal with, but I'm a little less likely to call now Gard is gone)
Low Down Sound (I've dealt with them online, and also in person. They are about a 2 hr drive for me) | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
