So yesterday me and a friend hopped on a train to Doncaster to play some geetars. Played many electrics and disliked them all, which is a good thing! Played some verrrry nice acoustics; my favourite were these two Takamine acoustics, one being a 12 string. Extremely nice to play and a great sound. Shame they were £1200, each. We then moved on to some basses, and I have fallen in love with Warwick basses, in particular the Warwick Thumb. Oh my god, if there was ever a bass that made me want to become a full time bass player, it was that one. It really did play itself, my sloppy slap technique improved 10 fold and I even got a compliment on my bass playing; the guy was shocked when I said that I was actually a guitarist! Again though, the price tag was quite hefty. I've got some saving to do. I did however get a great deal on a hardcase for my Ibanez so all is well.

Ever get down to Denmark St in London ? It is chocked full of over inflated egos and overpriced kit, some of which Im ashamed to say is quite sexy !

Not been there as yet; I can well imagine the prices being a tad high though!

I love Denmark Street...the prices there are actually not bad Sean...it's rather competitive with all those shops on the same street, but they're all owned by two companies I believe...still good fun and no more expensive than the stores I found outside of london...in fact, the most expensive store I found was in Basildon in Essex...it was an ugly little store too.

I'll hold you to that one!
Could be a while before I go though, if anything it'd be next summer.
