Betsy kicks *ss!

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.

Thanks, guys.

Excellent strings
28 November 2024  |  Martin

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!

These strings are amazing, nice and smooth, with an amazing tone, bonus is they cost a lot less than other brands.

Bass Centre is now my go-to shop. Thanks

I bought this for a build I'm doing, it looks a beautifully engineered bit of kit.

The service from the Bass Centre was exemplary, very satisfied, recommended.

I have used Elites Stadium strings for around the last 30 years.

Never had a problem ever and will continue to use them. Too many top bass players to mention use these strings, so if they’re good enough for them...

Wow

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.

Sounds awesome

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!
