About Us


BassGuitarGuide was created in 2018, with the goal of helping all bassists - beginner or advanced - to find their ideal guitar, and all the gear that goes along with it.

When you select the wrong gear it can really discourage someone from playing and learning, so it makes sense that going with the right gear will help new bassists learn faster and enjoy playing more often.

We test, compare, and review the most popular bass products on the market and let you know what’s good and what to avoid. The result is a bass-focused website that’s filled with all the information you need to help you find something that you love.

We also write buyer’s guides to help make the buying experience a little easier, while there are several sections dedicated to making you a better bass player through easy-to-follow tips and advice.

We wish you the best of luck in your hunt, and hope we can help you find your perfect ​bass guitar.
