Howdy all, I'm going up to Toronto to spend the weekend with my brother and I'd love to check out some killer gear. I'd like to find something within reasonable walking/metro distance of the corner on Mutual and Gerrard. Club Bass and the Twelfth Fret are apparently a bit too far away for us to realistically go to, unfortunately. Steve's isn't too far away, but I'd like to play some things a bit more...exotic than things at Steve's (eg, no Fenders and Ibanez). I'm thinking Benavente, Sadowsky, MTD, FBasses, etc.
Anyone got any ideas?

Anyone got any ideas? | I have seen Alembic there before
edit: poor spelling

Club Bass, Twelfth Fret, Capsule, Songbird, Long and McQuade, you can see them all. The Long and McQuade store on Bloor had two Ken Smiths and a bunch of Moduluses (Modului?) the last time I was there.

There's three L&M's in Toronto, in the east end at Markham and Ellesmere, and in the west at Keele and Steeles, but if you can only see one, the Bloor Store is the one (Bloor and Ossington, right on the subway line, a block east of Ossington on Bloor. 3 stores right in a row, except 927 is a convenience store...)
Have a fun visit!

I didn't want to play too many, 'cause it was busy and I didn't have any intention of buying :embarassed: . It's all good though, I'll make a point of visiting Club Bass next time (probably around March, going to see Wicked!).
