I'm a beginner bass player, but what an instrument!!!!
Went with 40-100 Elites Player strings as my preference is for nickel. Gorgeous instrument with a slim neck, it instantly makes (even) me sound a lot better. Healthy output from the pickups and a great range of tones available.
At £695 this is a real bargain — sure Guy Pratt gigs on a stock one so I've no excuses. Barry and the team at Bass Centre had a lot of patience with all my questions. A fine instrument and fine people to deal with.
Definitely recommended.
Don't think I'm ready for a fretless or 5 string yet, but some nice options both in Jazz style and Speakeasy to look at.
I bought a Speakeasy bass from the Bass Centre 20 years after my previous one was stolen when my house was broken into. I've played a couple of others in the interim, but it was such a pleasure to pick up my new Speakeasy for the first time and feel that old familiar easy action. This bass plays really nicely, has a great tone, with plenty of options to give different sounds and it looks great too!
Buying from the Bass Centre was easy too, with clear comms and fast delivery. All in all, a very good experience!
What can I say - I didn't quite believe that this bass can be that good!
Fantastic finish (colour looks stunning in daylight, and at night - my wife loves it too, haha!), completly quiet single coils from EMG (no hum at all!), nice action, bass was set-up near perfectly right from the shop (I only needed to correct a little the truss rod), works buttery smooth, no problem at all with it. Satin neck - checked, strings - I'm rather a flatwounds guy, but man, these are the best roundowunds I had, hands down!
The only downside is maybe, that the bass is rather on the heavy side for me, but not that much to bother.
Go and buy it!
Oh, I should add - service via mail is also excellent. I got all the answers to my questions before buying. Top!
I ordered some EUB strings for my NS, unfortunately they were out of stock, but the guys at the Bass Centre organised some to be sent direct from the manufacturer.
They kept me up to date with the progress of the order via emails, and I'm now playing the NS again sounding factory fresh.
The ordering process was very easy, smooth and professional. Delivery to Switzerland within some days. Great service!
I bought these strings for a Fender Jazz bass, 4 string and the feel, tone and punch is just what I have been dreaming of for decades. Tension and stiffness is just a tad on the higher, which I like. Very nice grip and you feel you have something under you fingers. Surface is very fine, not rough and not slippery. Articulation is great. I could dial in eq seetings default and they sound good right out of the package. Adding some mids and bass makes me smile. Did not have to wait a certain time for break in. I run the neck PU full, bridge PU 80% and tone 60% open. Full tight and firm tone. No harshness.
After trying all brands, steel, nickel, flats - I have finally arrived. These strings will be my future GO-TO strings. I strongly recommend these strings. If you like to have something under your fingers, like me, then I can say that 50-70-90-110 is not too thick. Your fingers know exactly where they are positioned and you can really dig in.
hanks Bass Centre for this excellent product! I´m in here!
