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.

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!

Great instrument and great service
08 October 2024  |  Celeb

The people at The Bass Centre were incredibly helpful with my order, shipping within the very short timeframe I had, and packing it carefully.

Regarding the instrument itself, I am still exploring the possibilities but electric guitar enthusiasts have been amazed at the sound and feel of it. I still cannot believe how accurate the dots are for intonation, it's a great help to transfer skills to an acoustic cello as well.

Well worth it.

Holds its head high
01 October 2024  |  Paul

I have two of these Speakeasy bass guitars alongside several vintage SGC Nanyo models. The modern version holds its head high compared with the older ones. I tend to take one of each era out with me when gigging and, to be honest, people tend to compliment me on the sound with the Speakeasy version more than when using one of the originals!

If you are after a bass, particularly if you find the neck radius and body dimensions of the majority of the market cumbersome, you will not be disappointed by a Speakeasy. The vintage Nanyos are great but tend to need the pre-amp and barrel jack replacing if they still have the original components.
