Not even face to face in a shop have I received such great customer service from any other guitar shop.

I asked to have a set of flats included in my delivery - “No problem, no charge, we will fit them for you” was the reply.

The bass was set up perfectly for me, it's a revelation to play for my diddy little fingers and is powerful.

Quick delivery.

I've only given a five star on this review because it doesn't let me give 9 or 10.

Completely happy and well satisfied customer.
Thankyou to Barry and his team.

I just purchased one from you and I absolutely love it! So easy to play, and so much fun. It sounds awesome! Bill did good approving this reissue of his iconic Dallas Tuxedo bass. I wish I could tell him in person. Thanks!

The people at The Bass Centre were incredibly helpful with my order, shipping within the very short timeframe I had, and packing it carefully.

Regarding the instrument itself, I am still exploring the possibilities but electric guitar enthusiasts have been amazed at the sound and feel of it. I still cannot believe how accurate the dots are for intonation, it's a great help to transfer skills to an acoustic cello as well.

Well worth it.

I have two of these Speakeasy bass guitars alongside several vintage SGC Nanyo models. The modern version holds its head high compared with the older ones. I tend to take one of each era out with me when gigging and, to be honest, people tend to compliment me on the sound with the Speakeasy version more than when using one of the originals!

If you are after a bass, particularly if you find the neck radius and body dimensions of the majority of the market cumbersome, you will not be disappointed by a Speakeasy. The vintage Nanyos are great but tend to need the pre-amp and barrel jack replacing if they still have the original components.

Beautiful, high quality bass. Great price. I'm about to record a CD of Stones songs from 1964/65. I'll be using this and I'll send you a copy. The only complaint I have is with the nut. I don't use roundwound strings (and I'm surprised that was the only choice for the Wyman). I ordered a set, but I had to take it to my guitar guy for some filing because the string slots weren't wide/deep enough for them.

The Betsy is an excellent bass. The Burgundy Mist finish and ebony neck are gorgeous.

The build quality and finish are excellent. The neck and frets are perfect. The only weak point is the tuner, which isn't very precise (like other brands in this price tag).

The bass really sounds great and it's easy to play. The sound is powerful and very versatile thanks to the EMGs and the Betsy has become my main bass.

The bass was delivered within a week and set up superbly.

The Bass Centre staff are very friendly and quick to answer any questions.

As always top quality service and product from the team at The Bass Centre, this time the 40th anniversary t-shirt.

I had to get one of these 40th Anniversary T-Shirts. Great quality and it's a really good fit too.

All the memories:
I was there at the beginning, as a fan of the shop. I bought my first real bass rig, the Trace Elliot 8x10 combo, from them and a bigger old banger to fit it in.

Then, of course, I ordered a Status Series II (to my spec). How exciting it was waiting for that to be made. I used to pop in and pay a bit off it every couple of weeks.

The staff, (especially Nicky, Chris and Martin) were always ace, very welcoming, and knew their stuff... and managed to stay calm even when someone (or ten at the same time) was trying to master a new Mark King lick in the background.

I was also really inspired by Barry, he always looks great, had that lovely Porsche outside, someone to look up to and aspire to be like. Great days, looking forward to the 50th.
