Review: This is a tiny shop, smaller than my bedroom! Its very secluded too. Its just a door on a street with a tiny sign above it. As you walk up the stairs a strong smell of cigarettes hits you. Not pleasant at all! The shop usually has 2 or 3 40-50 something men in it, talking. Luckily, these guys are very knowledgable! So in the shop there is quite a wide selection with some strange and unique basses. Most of the basses there seems to be old and tattered or disgustingly modded (we saw about 4 vintage 60s and 70s jazz basses that had been horribly modded and painted, etc. Its disgraceful. As I was looking around the basses, I would ask the owner how much a certain bass was. Every single bass I asked about was either not for sale or was a vintage fender, which he was asking for around £3000 for! So basically, they sell nothing! I wouldn't actually buy anything from there but its nice to look around and see what cool stuff they have!
