Best Bass Guitars Under £500

If you are looking for the "Best Bass Guitars Under £500" you have come to the right place.

Vintage, along with their latest Revo series (a development for 2024) has seen Vintage guitars go from strength to strength, receiving the most incredible reviews by everyone who lay their hands on them.

When you buy a Vintage Bass Guitar you really are avoiding all the nonsense you get when buying a Fender, Ibanez and several other high profile brands that mean people spending at least 20% more for a badge which is no guarantee of playabilty or quality at this price point.

Please watch the videos for each bass guitar that should give you even more peace of mind that these really are the best bass guitars you will find for under £500 - no question about it in my opinion.
