The SpeakeasyRebirth of The CoolAmongst the myriad of modern bass designs that flooded the market in the 1980's, the distinctive SB range by Bass Collection was one of the most popular. Compact and super-comfortable to play, with a cool, striking look, excellent build quality and a wonderfully versatile tonal range, these basses became a enduring hit with both pro and semi-pro players. Now, The Bass Centre brings you the Speakeasy and Speakeasy Pro, the revered Bass Collection SB310 and SB460 designs reborn for a brand new generation. "Exceptionally well built and finished – small and perfectly formed, these guitars are easy on both the eye and the ear" |

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 '80s and throughout the '90s, 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.

Bass Collection also offered a range of boutique, vintage Fender-style replicas primarily for their 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 '60s 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.
