Bass Direct

Loads of great options out there from Fender and a whole host of other manufacturers, just get them in your hands and see which fits best

Ah thanks so much for coming in. were all so glad you came away with this lovely bass. it really means a lot when customers come to the shop and try things out. and even more when they come away with something so nice. all the best! Bass Direct

Smiths always have a great B string, pickup placement really allows the punch of the note to shine through too

More of the standard ones and one of the limited edition example too

UPDATE: We’ve finally wrapped up the warehouse move! The new pre-owned showroom is now open too, so if you’re in the area swing by, grab a coffee/tea/beer, and check out some lovely basses. Always happy to talk gear and hang out.

We have one of these incoming, can't wait!

We've played 37" B strings that have been pants and 33" that have worked wonderfully, and the other way round too.. So its all personal

If you have time you could pop in and see us, we can put LOADS of 5-string basses in your hands

Thank you for your feedback Sean, we are sorry for some experiences you have had in the past. We have been over stretched here for a long, long time now, but have just taken on another full-time member of staff, we have also just improved our warehousing and stock control systems. This should take a lot of pressure from our colleagues which will give them more time and to deal with all situations in the best way possible. We are also implementing an appointment based system, which will allow more one on one time with our customers, again allowing for a way better standard of service. Apologies again, hopefully we can welcome you back as a customer someday BD

The previous customer was a slapper too

Awesome! I remember that bass and its previous owner, setup like a dream

Sorry to hear this Sean, we really try our best, but a lot of the time in the past we have been on the backfoot due to being spread extremely thin. This is all changing right now and we can't wait to provide a better service to all of our customers and with more efficiency too

This is really exciting times for us We have taken on a much bigger unit next door to relocate all of our stocks of accessories, basses not on display, used amplification etc, making picking a packing a lot easier and more efficient. We are also taking on another full time member of staff and introducing new processes to make things a lot more customer orientated/focused. All in all it will be a MUCH nicer place to be with some comforts too, we really hope you love the changes guys and look forward to seeing you soon

Awesome bass, I really hope you enjoy it

I know

Take a listen to Glide by Pleasure, a Jazz Bass with flats

Very good

Why would they want them...

2 sold already...

For the Icon version, yes

No idea, thats working on a standard rate and quoting the prices we have been given by Musicman

Cheers Si! I totally agree by the way

And if people keep doing this then more guitar shops cease to exist, just saying...

Any fretless?

Each to their own :), have a good one
