If Only There Was A Store Like This...

If only there was a store that had every single bass in production...

There are so many that I want to try that I'll never be able to...

It comes close to your ideal.

That would be fantastic

Too bad it's on the other side of the country.

Road trip.

But yeah, I feel you. The one store around here that has higher-end gear has them locked in a fancy-room, and there's no way I have the balls to ask to play them. Especially knowing that I'm able to spend less than a tenth of what most of them cost... Still, their selection is nothing compared to what's out there.

That would be fantastic

Wouldn't it?

There are three brands of basses that aren't carried at any of the shops in my area: Lakland, Sadowsky, and Carvin.

Also, there are a few shops around that carry Ibanez, but none of them carry the prestige series, the premium series, or any SRTs.

Really, the shops near me don't seem to carry any boutique basses.

I'd need more reason than just visiting a bass shop to travel that far...

The only higher end basses around here that I can think of are a few Peavey cirrus basses at a store I know. They have been there so long that when I went in to try on of the five string ones the battery was all but dead. Had a mesa boogie walkabout cranked and could barely hear it so I hope it was the battery.

That's another brand I only ever see used here and there: Peavey.

Bass Northwest is about 3 hours from you and has Lakland and Sadowsky.

I'm living in Hog Heaven. I'm 10 miles from Lakland, Sadowsky, Lull, Fodera, F Bass, Zon, Turner, Elrick, Alleva-Coppolo, Dingwall, MTD and KSD.

Also Epifani, Bergantino, DNA, Aguilar, EA, and TC Electronic.

You won't find Carvins in stock at any store except the Carvin store.

True, but it's hard to justify a 3-hour drive just to go look at basses. Plus, since I don't drive, I'd have to hitch a ride with someone else.

That could be why stores like that dont exist much...

I have driven 5 hours for a dounut before...

 

[RonChase]

We should set up an Oregonian players road trip. I mean, how bad could it really be to cram a bunch of musicians in a van for half a day.... Yeah nevermind that idea

Damn... This post got me in the mood for waffle house.

If I wasnt busy this weekend Id drive to AZ.

What??? You mean everybody doesn't do this?

I've driven 5 hours to just go look at basses before. I don't see a problem with it. Priorities!
