As of today Guitar Fetish now sells complete basses instead of just parts! Looks like they are mainly sticking to the traditional J and P type plus one modern model. They have a decent variety of colors and choice of maple or rosewood fretboards on most. Looks like nice basses for the price. May have to get one just so I can do a full review. Xaviere Bass Guitars

I have used GFS pickups in several mod projects and they are IMO very nice for the money. They are also using Graphtech nuts. My shipping was only $24.70 plus the $2.10 for insurance. Anyway I though these might be another option for a good budget priced bass. Plus the headstock is much more appealing than the current SX headstock!

A guitar buddy of mine built a Tele out of guitarfetish parts and really likes it. He's really pumped about their pickups too. These would probably be nice basses.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2010 Location: Washington, USA | | | Interesting. I wonder how they will sell in the current market, given the number of bases already available in this price range.
I'm sure there will be a lot of comparisons to the cheaper SXs and to the Squier Affinity series, which are just about the same price. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Oregon | | | I do like the looks better then SX,
There ar ealot of choices i guess around the same price , affinity , turser , sx, austin , etc. I still think sx is probably best value wise , but not look wise with the new stock |

I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.

I have a couple of Xaviere guitars, a 335 and a Tele thinline. Not too shabby.

I've been experimenting with flats and this is a good way to do it. Plus, it's one more option I may recommend to students.
I'll give you brohams the report when it arrives.

Still, nice to know there's other options out there. And nice looking options at that.
