Vintage Bass Guitar Shops?
Posted by on 17th December 2008 in Other - Music
The Beak of A Tumor asked:
I’m looking for a vintage (or something made at least before 1995) Fender Precision Bass. I’ve looked on eBay, but that stuff is way too expensive and there’s no way to know if it’s quality or original. Does anybody know of a great vintage shop online or around the Northwest area where I can find a used vintage bass for around $1000 or less?

10 points if you help me out! I’d really like to find a great vintage shop.
Also, please don’t say Guitar Center, eBay, craigslist or any of that stuff.
Thanks!

Consider House of Guitars in Rochester, New York. I haven’t been there in a few years, but they had the biggest selection of new and used guitars I’d ever seen last time I went with our son. The building is old and funky, but most of the staff consists of professional musicians who know their, ah, stuff.
They’ve got an entry in Wikipedia, a MySpace page, and a website at

I was about to say craigslist
, i have found alot of vintage guitars on there, i have bought a guitar from off there. but anyways/
In toronto there is a guitar place near queens that sells really good and vintage guitars. Since i am guessing you don;t live near toronto that doesn’t really help.
I dont quite know the name but i have been in the shop a couple of times looking for some guitars. They have a nice selection but when i went there i had something in mind, so i didn’t get a chance to buy anything.
Good luck
