Bass Guitars at Roxy Music
Nobody ever walked out of a concert raving about the bassist. But everybody has sat through a set where something felt off and couldn't quite figure out why — until they realized the bass player was lost. The bass guitar is the instrument that holds everything together without asking for credit. At Roxy Music, we think that deserves a little recognition. We've been helping bass players find their sound since 1939, and we know that when the bass is right, the whole band is right.
The Sweet Spot
Here's something we tell every bass player who walks through our door — you don't need to spend a fortune to sound great. In the $500 to $1,500 range, you can find a bass that performs at a professional level, holds its own on any stage, and looks absolutely killer doing it. Unlike almost any other instrument, the sweet spot in bass is real, it's accessible, and we stock it well.
Brands We Carry
Ibanez is our top-selling bass brand — fast necks, versatile electronics, and a price-to-performance ratio that genuinely surprises people who haven't played one. Fender invented the electric bass in 1951 and still sets the standard — the Precision Bass and Jazz Bass are on more recordings than any other bass guitars on earth. Squier brings genuine Fender DNA to players who aren't ready to spend Fender money, and Yamaha quietly builds some of the most consistent, reliable instruments at their price points anywhere in the industry. Every bass we sell receives a free professional setup before it leaves the shop — because a great bass that plays poorly isn't a great bass.
