Bass San Diego

This store is amazing! Great selection of instruments and amps, but what really impressed me was the customer service. All the employees there are top-​notch.
I bought a low-​end bass off of Craigslist and thought it could use a setup, so I emailed them about scheduling. They said if I could drop it off that day, they could get it back to me the next day. The price quote was great, so I snuck way from work and took my new bass up there.
I was helped by a super-​friendly technician (sorry I forgot his name!) who did the setup for me in about 20 minutes while I browsed their shop! That was awesome #1. Awesome #2 is when I went to pay — he only charged me half of what was quoted in the email (remember, that was already a good price). So I bought a tee-​shirt and still ended up walking out paying less than the original quote!
Any business that can provide customer service like that deserves your repeat business. I know I’m a customer for life!

Chris and George are awesome. I am so glad I have a bass shop like this in San Diego area. Previously I had to order my high end basses without putting hands on them. I am very gracious to have a shop of that carries basses of this magnitude in my area. Chris has even gone as far as to hand deliver a bass to my place of employment because I was busy with a big inspection and could not get in for a week or so. They are the best.

Most painless musical purchase I’ve made in years was done here. When I came in, they shook my hand and asked my name. Where else do you get that?
Very accommodating and knowledgeable. They have a wide selection of excellent gear. (And also the exact item I came in for.)
So very glad to live within 40 miles of this place, but would drive much farther.
Also they were nice to my lady, who graciously came along.

Great store — bought an MTD there in Feb and a Bergantino cabinet last week. My experience was so much more enjoyable that working with less knowledgeable staff and haggling with moron «managers» at chain stores. The fact that you can try the substantial range of instruments they keep in stock is great — next time I’ll bring lunch and a sleeping bag. I also like the freedom to test gear and compare equipment with no pressure, all very helpful. I have to fly to get there but am very pleased with the service and product offerings. Thanks, Chris and George.

The is THE best boutique bass store of the West coast. The selection is awesome with killer basses like Sadowsky, Dingwall, MTD, Fodera, Fbass, Zon, and more. This place has a private room for test driving basses and they also have a room where they have special events. They have some of the greatest musicians in the world roll through and give clinics which is really cool because they are not just selling basses, they are helping to support the whole bass scene in general!
The guys that work there are super friendly and helpful and don’t act like pompous bass snobs :) Every time I’m in San Diego I have to drop in and see what they got… their website is always updated so you know whats in their inventory. The website also has some cool features like recordings of the actual basses you are interested! If you don’t think that is unique and cool then you might not have a pulse and someone should probably take you to get checked out.
Bass San Diego, you rock!

Neodymium is a rare-​earth metal, with the symbol Nd and atomic number 60. Chris delivered a CN Bergantino, with a neodymium magnet, up to LA for me. Bass San Diego puts the Neodymium delivery in Nd.

High end bass guitars and amps. Great insight from a very experienced staff.

High end gear + friendly, knowledgeable staff = awesome gem in San Diego. Tucked away in the hills overlooking Sorrento Valley — definitely make a trek to check out their one of a kind pieces. I’m curious what the insurance bill looks like for this store :)

This is a great shop featuring high end electric basses as well as quality budget instruments as well. Chris and George are super helpful, NOT pushy and a pleasure to deal with. Their new upstairs location offers a much better layout and more accessories than than before– this is definitely the place in San Diego to go for your bass needs!

Chris and George from Bass San Diego are fantastic, and run a great shop.
I was in the market for a new world-​class bass, and they freely shared their bass knowledge with me, and went above and beyond in helping me reach final decisions on instrument and strings.
In my search for the best bass for my current project, I ended up calling more than twenty shops in the LA/​San Diego area, and I don’t know of a better place to buy a bass in California (and maybe all of the West Coast!) than Bass San Diego.

Bass nirvana!!! You won’t find a better selection of mid to high end basses. Chris and George are the only guys you’ll find there. I forgot who I was talking to because I was still in awe from playing the fbass. He was very knowledgeable and very helpful. I told him I heard a lot of good reviews from talkbass and just stopped by to check out the store. He probably knew I wasn’t going to buy anything but he still showed me a bunch of his favorite basses in the shop. All of the basses I played were in tune and the set up was perfect. If I lived near by, I would definitely trust them setting up my bass.
You guys are great and you didn’t get a sale that day, but I’ll definitely get my next bass from you guys!

Nice high-​end bass store; Patient, smart staff. Awkward layout of store and lack of accessories (fx) are a bummer, but I think they’re still working out the kinks. GREAT selection of Zon, MTD, Federa, Elrick, Dingwall basses… Like the most expensive candy store you can imagine.

Chris and George are awesome! Very good guys to work with, the only place that sells Bergantino and Dingwall… goodbye Guitar Center, HELLO Bass San Diego.
