Replacement Parts in the UK

Does anyone know of a UK equivalent to www.allparts.com? They're pretty good but it bugs me that I have to order from the US and pay in dollars etc.

It just bugs me

Just bear in mind that Rics-R-Us are not authorized dealers, which is to say, among other things, that nothing they sell is covered by anything other than a warranty that they might privately offer.

Thanks John - I should have included that in my post (I get my strings from them).

Authorised dealer :-

http://www.rosetti.co.uk/

They're the distributor actually. They have quite a few authorized RIC dealers throughout the U.K. and Ireland.

Quite so, but my dealer (Sounds Great) rarely hold stock, so if I order through them they go to Rosetti. I find the staff at Rosetti super-helpful & friendly for stuff I can order over the phone (like strings)
Cheers John !!

Actually, just as an aside, without wanting to cause bother, I tried a couple of times to order bass strings through Rosetti (they had no trouble taking the order) and on both occasions - after a wait of a couple of months - they said they'd been left off the latest shipment from RIC so in the end I gave up. Shame, because on all other respects they are pretty good. Doesn't put me off the basses, though!
