Why should I buy a second hand bass guitar?

You should buy a second hand, or pre-owned bass guitar for several important reasons. First of all you can usually get high-quality guitars at discounted prices. You can get some rare finds, many excellent bass guitars are discontinued or are no longer in production and getting these guitars second hand is the only way to acquire them.

What should I look out for when buying second hand bass guitars?

You should look out for a few key things when buying second hand bass guitars. Used bass guitars are liable to have acquired some wear and tear over the years so it's important to check for cosmetic damage and make sure it's at a level you're happy with. You should also look out for parts that have been swapped or modded.

Can I buy pre-owned basses on finance?

Yes, absolutely! As long as the purchase meets the criteria for the finance product you wish to pursue, buying pre-owned items is not a problem.

Does my bass have to be in working order to be traded in or sold?

In almost every case, yes. Whilst we would look at every piece of gear brought to us, it is unlikely that we would accept equipment that is not in good working order. As always, please talk to our staff in your nearest guitarguitar for specific information.
