At The Bass Shop, our singular focus is the bass guitar. It’s the most personal choice a bass player can make: choosing an instrument to create your voice. That voice, of course, is tone. At The Bass Shop, you will find used, consignment, and vintage basses that have been carefully selected, professionally set up, and accurately described. *
*Since opening a store front in West Seattle, some prime amplifiers have made their way through the doors and onto the sales floor. It would be a shame not to share them with the Reverb audience, so The Bass Shop is now posting amps too! Please checkout our website for items not listed on this page.
Shipping Policy
Basses will be shipped within 48 hours of purchase. This is to allow for set ups or any other changes to an instrument requested at time of purchase. Once shipped, a tracking number will be emailed to you.
Return Policy
New Items
Returnable within 3 days of delivery.
Used & Vintage Items
Returnable within 3 days of delivery.
General Terms
Items must be returned in original, as-shipped condition with all original packaging and no signs of use. Buyer assumes responsibility for all return shipping costs unless the item was not received as described.
Special Conditions
The Bass Shop offers a 72 hour trial period for your approval. However, all returns are subject to a 10% restocking fee, regardless of reason. You must call before returning the bass. The customer is responsible for all shipping charges. This may sound harsh, but this serves to eliminate the “weekend rental” syndrome, minimize buyer’s remorse, and save wear and tear on instruments. It also costs us thousands of dollars a year in fees. So make absolutely sure you want what you are buying, clear it with your spouse, and know that you are buying a bass that is accurately described and professionally set up. Sometimes a bass can go out of whack, especially during summer and winter, so if there is a set up issue when you get the bass, please give us a call and we can talk you through a minimal tweak to make it perfect again. Lastly, if a purchase is made and The Bass Shop has received approval from your credit card company, it is considered a sale, regardless of whether the bass has been shipped or not. So if you decide to back out of a deal after your card has been charged, you are still subject to the 10% restocking fee. In the case of an instrument that is damaged or delivered to the customer with any defects as a result of shipping, The Bass Shop will arrange return of the bass and you will not be responsible for shipping or the restocking fee.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
The Bass Shop will ship worldwide. We use Fed Ex exclusively. Customs, duty, taxes, and any other fees associated with shipping internationally, are the sole responsibility of the buyer. Your country will require payment at the time of or prior to delivery. These fees and taxes required by destination countries can be rather high and depend on the individual country. Please contact your customs office for information and potential additional charges prior to purchase so you know exactly how much your total purchase price will be.
*Basses and effects can be purchased directly off of the site and shipping will automatically be applied. However, amplifiers and cabinets vary in size and weight, so if you wish to purchase an amp or cabinet, please email us with your address or destination country and we will respond with the proper shipping costs so you won't be overcharged.
*The Bass Shop ships only to the address given and cleared by Reverb. Our Fed Ex account does not allow for re-routing to a different address by either the buyer or The Bass Shop, nor does it allow for a "Hold at Facility For Pick Up" change once a label is created. This serves as a deterrent for fraudulent orders, which unfortunately, have happened. We apologize for any inconvenience.
