The Speakeasy... Rebirth of The Cool.

The Bass Collection marque, under the stewardship of Nanyo Boeki, is one which will always be synonymous with the Bass Centre's "Wapping Years". In the late 80's and throughout the 90's, The Bass Centre represented this hugely popular range exclusively in the UK and enjoyed a remarkable relationship with the Japanese company that produced one of the most highly regarded, light weight, small bodied designs of the era - the SB Series. In addition, Bass Collection also offered a range of boutique, vintage Fender-style replicas primarily for the huge domestic market, including a grandparent to the Bass Centre's new "Jive" Bass that offered a distinctly modern twist to the venerable Jazz Bass template.

After the demise of Nanyo Boeki in the early noughties, The Bass Centre acquired the Bass Collection name and, with our own distribution company, House Music, already established as a dynamic guitar manufacturer, The Bass Centre secured access to the same Korean factory that produces the phenomenally successful Brian May Guitars range.

So, it is that this new "collection" assembles all of our favoured features of classic 60's bass design, as well from Bass Collection's own SB Series; taking a new approach to body and neck profiling and re-imagining these instruments in a manner that no other brand currently offers, with a commitment to combining awesome build quality, great playability and performance with - most importantly - affordability. Made to The Bass Centre's exacting standards in one of the World's best production facilities, the Bass Collection range is genuinely regarded as being consistent with instruments three times their price.
