I'll be in the Plymouth, Mass area for a week around the 18th and I was wondering if anyone knew any cool bass shops in Boston. I'll most likely make a trip to the standard Guitar Center/Sam Ash but I was hoping there would be a cool shop I could check out.

There's one on Mass Ave, not too far from the GC on Comm Ave. These are good because they are near the universities, especially Berklee, and serve most of the musicians in town. Lots of cool finds in both stores.

Sometimes there will be a cool Peavey Cirrus, and once I believe there was a Dingwall 5 string. The employees are also way too pushy with the accessories card. What a ripoff. |

Cool little shop, that's heavy on the bass stuff.
Corey is a great guy, and I think he post on here too. |

He sold a lot of his inventory to Rockin Bob's Guitars ... also in Somerville. Most of that inventory has been sold but Bob has most of my former gear in his shop now. Another place to check is Cambridge Music on Mass Ave in Cambridge.
Peace,
