New jersey music store search help!

Hey guys, I need help from my fellow jersey bass players!

I search Google and all I get are music schools so that's why I'm here. I live in Monmouth county in new jersey and I need to know if there are any stores around here other than guitar center and that nonsense that doesn't sell your usual basses. I'm really looking for a place that sells Spector, Warwick, those brands.
 
Lou Rose Music Center, also in Edison on RT 27, used to sell Spector, Warwick, and MusicMan. It's been a looong time since I've been there, so you might do a search and/or call them. They're about 15 minutes from NJ Guitar and Bass. You could do a twofer in the same trip. There's also a Sam Ash a mile or two north on 27. A trifecta. And for the quadzilla, there's Hy-Way Music on Rt 18 in East Brunswick. Not far from the others. Don't know what brands they carry but there used to be interesting stuff on the wall. Again, been a long time but worth a call.
 
NJ Guitar and Bass in Edison is your best bet. Lou Rose on Rt. 27 in Edison and Hyway Music on Rt. 18 in East Brunswick both used to be really good as well. They are both still there, so you might want to give them a try. All three stores are about a fifteen to twenty minute ride from each other. BTW, I live in Monmouth County as well. It should take you about 30 to 45 minutes to get to Edison, depending on where you are.
