THE BASS COLLECTION

Modern Classics From The Bass Centre

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.
