Do not go to the Bass Celler in Denmark Street. It is run by a short fat bald obnoxious person [the short fat and bald bit is a description of the person not an insult!] and should be avoided.

The best two places in London are the Bass Centre [now House of Guitars] in Brune Street near Liverpool Street Station don't know web site

The Bass Gallery in Camden Town[url=http://www.thebassgallery.com]

Both places have a wide range of gear and the people are friendly.

Regards

Matthew

www.basscentre.com for the Bass Centre website (surprising huh? )
Matthew is right, those are the best 2 places to go to test basses.

Just to say i totally agree with that, he's a ****...but he loves it

If your down by denmark street you should check out Sound Control (underneath the Virgin megastore on oxford street) hundreds of guitars/basses/everything else, and the sales staff leave you to it - which always gets my vote.

Good luck
