If you looking to step up to a higher quality bass we have a selection of some of the finest basses available today. The output from our manufacturers is limited, some making less than 100 instruments per year, so each is truly unique and individually hand made.

As these are all custom made for Bass Direct, we have the option of changing some of the specifications on the basses during construction allowing you to chose and customise a bass to your requirements. We are taking custom orders from these manufactures with build times of between 3 and 9 months depending on the company.

Please contact us to book an appointment to try any of these basses.
