Bass Dept

When it comes to stringed instruments, the guitar often takes all the headlines. But ask any four-stringer, and they’ll tell you it’s the bass guitar that makes a six-string sound good! Thanks to creative low-end pioneers like Geddy Lee, Flea, Justin Chancellor, and Les Claypool, the bass guitar has truly stepped out of the electric guitar’s shadow. In today’s music, it’s become an inspiring instrument that’s more than capable of handling rhythm duties while adding melody and bite to any composition.

At Andertons, we’ve been busy expanding our Bass Department in recent years, making it a real one-stop shop for all your ground-rumbling needs. Today, we offer well over 1,000 different bass models, including popular options from Fender, Dingwall, Sire, Schecter, Music Man, and more.

If you’re into all things old school, you’ll definitely want to take a look at our retro bass guitars. Here you’ll find tried and true designs like the Rickenbacker 4003, the Hofner Ignition Violin Bass, and of course, the iconic Fender Precision Bass. But if innovative new designs are more your bag, then head straight for our dedicated modern bass guitar section, where you can pick up the latest models from Ibanez, Warwick, Spector, and Yamaha. And if you’re looking for extended-range options, then you’re in luck. We carry a great collection of 5-string and 6-string basses to help you open up even more sonic possibilities.

Once you’ve picked your perfect bass, you’ll need the right rig to bring your sound to life. That’s where our collection of bass guitar amps and pedals comes in. Whether you want a clean and smooth low-end or a powerful distortion to drive your tunes, you’ll be able to craft the tone you want with amps from the likes of Fender, Gallien-Krueger, Ampeg, and Markbass. And don’t forget to check out the latest bass pedals from Darkglass, MXR, Electro Harmonix, and Boss to really round out your tone.
