Healthily obsessed with the classic bass designs of the 1960's and inspired and encouraged by our 30 years of experience and communication with professional players, friends and customers throughout the World, The Bass Centre is proud to present an all-new Bass Collection for the 21st century.
Sporting cool retro features and exciting colours, lighter weight body designs and our own "Super Slim Sixties" ® neck profile as well as modern features like the Babicz Full Contact Bridge, the Bass Collection is a fresh take on the classics.
From the authentic sounds, eye-catching looks and period-accurate appointments of the Jive, Power & Detroit Basses, to the thoroughly up-to-date Jive Five and PowerHouse models and the rebirth of the revered, small bodied SB design in the Speakeasy range, you simply won't find better attention to detail, build quality and expertly set-up instruments at this price point.
YOUR BASS - YOUR wAY
All Bass Collection instruments are re-strung and set up prior to despatch in our in-house workshop by Chris Ward, long serving Bass Centre guitar tech for all of our 39 years — he's getting quite good by now!
Accordingly, you can choose which gauge and type of Elites Strings you prefer, and specify set-up requirements... at no extra charge!
Exclusive deals on instruments from our tour and hire inventory, as well as on pre-owned, B-stock, open-box, and ex-demonstration models.
