Buying a Bass In California/Nevada

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey,

Im coming across to the US in April, and I want to pick up a second hand Stingray 4 while I am there. I will be in the following areas at various stages of my trip -
Stockton/Sacramento
San Fran
San Bernadino/Los Angeles/Orange County
Las Vegas

Can anyone reccomend any stores that stock second hand basses remotely near these areas? So long as they are within an hour or twos drive. I will just call/email them and see what they have in stock before actually going in.

If you can post or IM me with names of stores and a phone no if you have it that would be great!

Thanks!

The only Ray Juan has now, I am fairly sure, is a 20th anniversary model (call and check just to be sure!). I was just in Guitar Center, El Cerrito (just above Oakland) today and they had a number of Ray 4s, both new and used.

+ 100! I dropped by this store after buying a used cab in N. Hollywood last Saturday. Maybe not a huge selection of used gear, but if you want to try out beaucoup boutique gear, this shop is a must! Pretty friendly staff, to boot.

In Vegas: Cowtown Guitars. Everything from a '59 P to a 2005 Stingray (and lots in between). Right next to (well..a couple doors down) Sam Ash, which is one block south of Sahara on Maryland Parkway (a major intersection thats easy to find).

I was just in there today and they had 3 Rays: 1979, 2004, and 2005.

In So Cal, pickup a Recycler at a local convenience store. Lotsa used gear and the occasional killer deal.

Thanks everyone! Awesome help with the local knowledge. I tried doing yellow pages, but it was so hard working out who to even bother calling.
