What’s Included With Our Bass Hire

Most of our hire basses are Eastman Basses made by Eastman Strings just like the ones in our Double Bass Shop. They are all expertly prepared for hire by our luthier who ensures that every bass we hire out is properly setup.

A padded bass case

We can provide you with everything you or your child will need to start learning the double bass and even deliver the double bass to your home, work or your child’s school.

Why Hire From Us, What Makes Us Different?

We started our double bass hire and rental operation in the 1990s to provide good quality, well set up basses for the pupils of our founder and double bass teacher Tony Morgan.

As a teacher, it is very frustrating having students trying to learn with poor quality and badly, if at all, set up instruments. Other bass teachers began to notice the instruments Tony’s pupils were playing and asked us if we could supply double basses to their students. With this, our bass hire service was born from an educational need, and to this day our business is still built on teacher recommendations. With the majority of our customers referred to us by their bass teacher, educator or school.

To this day we remain loyal to our educational roots; we only use high-quality instruments and we know the importance of good instrument setup. We will not compromise on either.

Call 01332 840391 to hire from us today.

Why Our Double Basses Are The Best You Can Hire

We take great care when selecting double basses for our hire service; we only pick basses that we know will be a joy for our customers to play and will help speed them along their learning journey.

Once selected our hire basses, no matter what the size, are all set up meticulously by our luthier to our high professional standard.

Within the setup we check, adjust and refit as appropriate, the top nut, the bridge, the fingerboard and the sound post.

We also make sure fittings like the machine heads and the end pin are all in top working condition. Last but not least we always fit good strings.

 All of this combined makes our double basses probably the best that you can hire.

What Makes Our Hire Service So Good

 Our double bass hire service is great for different people for different reasons.

For Adult Beginners

As an adult beginner, you will benefit from being able to start on an excellently set up double bass without the large outlay needed to buy one of these basses outright.

For Parents and Guardians with Young Bassists

Parents and guardians really benefit from our hire service as do their budding bassists. For a fixed price per month your child will always have the correct size double bass to play, without the headache of having to buy and sell double basses as they grow. We will swap free of charge the double bass that you’re hiring for the next size up as and when your child is ready, meaning they’ll never have to just make do. Your young bassist will progress with much more ease and at a faster pace with a well set up instrument that’s the correct size for them.

 

Double Bass Delivery

We take great care over our Basses from the outset and having spent lots of time in the workshop making them excellent it goes against the grain to send them with a parcel company because of the damage risk. Also, the box would be huge.

We deliver nationwide with our especially climate controlled van, which is uniquely fitted out to carry Double Basses and driven by a member of our staff. You can rest assured that your bass will arrive in one piece and we will even tune it for you when we arrive. Our driver knows the instruments they are delivering and is happy to answer any questions or give advice as required.

We have regular weekly delivery routes to and around London and Birmingham from our base in Derby. We can deliver the bass to your home, work or even your child’s school.

Or you can collect the double bass from us by appointment in Ripley, Derbyshire, free of charge. Our location is 20 minutes from either M1 junctions 25 from the south or 28 from the north.

If you need the bass today, we can and will happily coordinate a same day delivery to you.
