Loads of strings in stock from Dunlop!! http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar†¦/Dunlop_Nickels.html
Went there today to look at possibilities for a new bass. Really friendly staff, took the time to listen to what I wanted and made helpful recommendations. Good selection of instruments too. Really liked the place and I'll be going back.
Well worth the drive to the land where the sun never shines.
Great service and great advice without any pressure to get the sale, I had a few things on my list to look at but sometimes you know when something feels right.
So Musicaman won the day
Oh and TC Electronics
And for anyone with a long drive don't worry there is a nice little cafe pretty much next door to refuel after your journey
Sunshine indoors with everything under one roof!
Cheers Guys
Visited the shop today to try out a variety of basses as I was unsure exactly what I wanted. Very helpful staff and not at all pushy like some of the larger music shops out there. I was given time to sit and play any bass I wanted without feeling pressured into leaving with a bass. Only difficulty was leaving with only one bass! Highly recommend to anyone looking at buying a new bass or equipment.
Travelled from Stroud to browse the selection of bass guitars at Bass Direct today... Wow! Loved it. Huge selection of guitars that you won't find anywhere else (to my mind) in the UK.
Alex and the team literally could not do enough for me and I spent two hours trying out any bass I wanted. No hard sell, no pressure service by people who are as passionate about bass guitars as I was. Very forthcoming, very approachable and friendly. Would defo visit again!
Thx for your great service. I was looking for a Godin A5 fretless for a long time. Finally found a used one on your website. Ordered it last week, arrived yesterday. The bass is in the good condition as you wrote on your website. A real good deal - bass vs. price! Thx and best wishes from Vienna/Austria
This shop is great, Mark gives great advice on all his merchandise.I used to shop around but I go direct this place, definitely a one stop shop for us bassists!
Ordered my new bass on the Monday, delivered next day, couldn't be happier ;)
Ordered a Sandberg VS4 California from Bassdirect, everything went smooth from enquiries to delivery!
Ordered a Dingwall, everything went well, Mark was always available to answer my questions, the shipping was quick and perfect. Thank you very much !
Knew what I wanted before I went, Vanderkley 210LNT. 160 mile round trip. Checked twice the week before & on the day. When I got there the assistant set up an amp & asked what bass I would like to test it on. Putting it in the car I was helped by Mark I think. Who also asked if everything was dealt with to my satisfaction in the shop which it was
Just received my Barabass combo fantastic bit of kit and first class service from Bass Direct highly recommend these guys for all your bass requirements ..
Just received my 2002 Warwick Streamer ST1 5 string from Bass Direct. The entire process went smooth and the staff was very quick in responding to my questions. Also, it only took 3 days in total from UK to DK. I highly recommend these guys - thanks Mark and Marcus - I now have another killer bass !!
I have bought and traded several items from BD who stock top notch gear. Reliable professional service. Ordered Mesa D-800 head yesterday - arrived this morning. Thank you.
Great shop!! I am a returning customer. Just bought my NS upright bass from them and got it delivered to my house the next day. Amazing service.
Great little shop crammed tight with lovely basses and bass related gear. Low pressure but lots of advice (not cheap mind).
Fantastic, unhurried service and an Aladin's Cave of great basses. The service matches the diversity of bass stock! Thanks Marcus for tweaking the Spector.... it plays like a beauty and has so much bark and grunt, it's a hoot and perfect for the music I play.
A+++ Folks, why go anywhere else???
Excellant service, always helpful, will always do what they can to help source what you need and also great with information on stuff they sell.
Also no hanging about in sending you your purchase, very quick service
Always found them honest and never had any problems or issues.
Number one stop for sure
Bought a Hipshot bridge upgrade for my Fender Precision bass from these guys, first rate pre and post sales communication, and speedy delivery of the parts which came well packaged and complete.
Would definitely recommend and use again.
Always excellent impartial advice, Mark and the team do their best to help you get the sound that you want, whatever style of music you play. Great to have a physical shop that actually has the contents of their website in stock, definitely worth a visit if you can.
