    To the guy that wants UK based music colleges... The two best that I'm aware of are the Academy of Contemporary Music (Guilford, London) & Brighton Institute of Modern Music (at which I'm currently studying) Obviously I'd recommend BIMM, but it depends what you wanna do. The ethos there is...

    Your first bass vs. what you play now
