I'm getting bit by the bass bug again after a long hiatus. I am wondering if there are any good shops that have popped up in the Denver area? A few years ago there was Premier Bass Guitars up in Superior. I really miss that place and the wonderful man who owned it. If no bass specific shops are around can anyone suggest a shop that has knowledgeable salespeople? Thanks!

Wildwood Guitars in Louisville carries basses... Mostly custom Fenders, Rickenbackers, and Reverends.

Drum City Guitarland also has some good stuff from time to time.

Anyone have any recommendations of any bass teachers or music programs in or around the Denver\Boulder area? Been searching for some good instructors or programs to get involved with to get out and play more, but I'm just having trouble finding good resources.

Matt Skellenger is an amazing player and a fantastic teacher:

Hey local gang. I'm not sure if it's ok to post this here or not but I just found out that guitar tech Ross Lawson at Drumcity Guitarland needs a liver transplant. If you've been there once, you know he is a really good guy. They have a go fund me page to help his family with medical bills. Just thought I would spread the word. I hope that's ok.

Do you have any idea on prices? I'd like to contact him, but I don't want to waste his time if it's too much. Thanks.
