I now have a Fender Player Bass rammed into a Squier Couldn't be happier with the results TL;DR Don't need to update my pickups A $60 solution ($18 per pot + caps), soldering and electronics chops saved me $100s Thank you for your time and professional advice

For a bass enthusiast like myself I could not ask for a better store to take care of all of my bass…read moreneeds. From strings to instruments and amplification and everything in between Club Bass is a one stop shop for a bass player. I have purchased 3 bass guitars, 1 amplifier and loads of strings and accessories from this store over the years and continue to be a loyal customer. Dave by far has the best selection of bass guitars and amplification in town and is far more knowledgeable than most instrument dealers around. Along with best selection in town Dave manages to keep his prices affordable and in a lot of cases lower than other music stores in town, even the big box stores. I have found that Club basses string prices are lower than most bigger box stores like Long and Mcquades and Dave even offers monthly specials. I recommend Club Bass to any bass player from beginner to professional. My one recommendation would be to check his website for his store hours as they are limited during the week and he is sometimes closed on Saturdays. Before you purchase a typical Fender, Ernie Ball, Ibanez .... Etc... Do not do so before trying out a Lakland or Sadowski. Its worth the trip. I have owned all of the typical brands over my 18 years of playing and I have sold them after getting my hands on the gear Dave has to offer. I have purchased 2 Laklands and 1 Sadowski bass from Club Bass and they will remain in my collection as my main basses for years to come ...... Until I can afford a Kennith Lawrence !

I've heard people say that Club Bass doesn't have a wide selection, my analogy is that they have a…read moreterrific selection of High Quality Instruments without having to sort through any crappy, junk gear, there is literally not a single lousy instrument in this shop. I have purchased a couple of basses & a couple of amps there, all top-quality gear that's often not available elsewhere, with prices that beat the big box & on-line competition. My Orange Head has served me well & priced 10% lower at Club Bass than what the big Chain Store was selling it for. Also happy with my DNA Amps 1350 head, it really sets a new standard in Bass Amplification. I'm overjoyed with my Sadowsky PJ Hybrid & Elrick Gold Series, a Hand-Carved, one-of-a-kind masterpiece built by Rob Elrick himself. I recommend Club Bass to any/all bass players at all levels, before spending a fortune on the same old - same old "Name Brands", try looking at what Dave has to offer, as many of the small builders that Club Bass carries have quality & price that blows away the big boys.

But the amp has great potential and I'm getting more familiar with it. The best part so far is just how well the Katana responds to playing dynamics. Special recognition goes to Long & McQuade sales associate Bryan Collie. Bryan was knowledgeable, low pressure and fully transparent on the trade-in value of my older tube amp. The entire process has been enjoyable.

As a non-smoker, non-drinker, I remember those decades, and what a music store meant for musicians. I became good friends with Al, the father and original owner of Thorold Music. It's not the same today, technology and the economy taking society away from live bands, but I see Thorold Music as finding a nice balance to keep the love alive, enough to make me leave my home town of Welland to make it there. I also respect Leo, one of Als' sons who manages the store, as a keyboard player, and every employee there has shown a mature and talented ability on guitar. I wouldn't necessarily say "Woohoo! As good as it gets!", because when I'm not there the light of Jimi Hendrix, who I saw in Toronto, doesn't shine as bright... and... sometimes it takes a lefty to show you the left-handed world. The new millennium is in my brain, lately these signals, they don't feel the same. It's not very funny, the music that people want to buy, 'scuse me, while I diss these skies. Thank you again, Leo, Conrad and staff at Thorold Music, for your kind and generous treatment. as always, John Watt

Ryan demonstrated excellent product knowledge throughout our initial visits and our return visit for a case, which helped us feel confident about our purchase. The process of finding the right violin was distinctive from other strings businesses we visited. Ryan asked questioned, listened to my feedback, as well as feedback from my music teacher to determine which violin was best for me. He has a profound knowledge of the violins available in the store and what makes each one unique. I highly recommend Infiniti Strings, in particular Ryan, if you are looking for a strings instrument or product.

Dear PianoPlus friends…read more I wanted to send you a brief note expressing our sincere appreciation and thanks for the time you have spent over the recent years teaching our two children all about the musical rainbow. We really appreciate the education in music that you provided them, especially because we are not a particularly musical family. For us as parents, to see our son playing in the concerts, read his music, play his guitar and learn all about the places and peoples of the world through your teaching, has been such a great thrill for us. We know that they have learnt so much from you (without even realising it) and that the musical knowledge and skills they now possess, will always be with them. We have always admired your teaching style and the great patience that you show with all of the children in your classes. You have made a lasting and very positive impression on our family and we now like to think that we are not quite as much the non-musical family we once were. We hope that you continue to teach your music to the young people in our community for many more years to come. Our very best regards, and thanks once again. We will always recomend your school t our friends and family because there is no words that can describe ho wonderful you all are. Marija an Dejan Dokic
