Boutique quality without the boutique price.

Think you can't afford a professional top-quality custom bass? Think again. Atkinson Basses is your answer! Bodies and necks are made in the USA using only the highest quality woods (no import stuff on my basses). Necks are fully customizable and come standard with graphite reinforcement and rolled fretboard edges. My nitrocellulose finishes are second to none. And my obsession with tone means your custom bass will sound killer and will be noise-free, thanks to premium electronics and proper shielding.

Why should you buy from Atkinson Basses?

Simple. First of all, I give you options the other guy's don't. Tell me what you need, and chances are I can make it happen. Most other shops offer a fraction of the options I do.

Secondly, I'm dedicated to providing quality craftsmanship. I'm a working bassist and know how a good bass should perform. Your custom bass will receive a complete setup prior to shipping, so it plays great right out of the box. You will not be disappointed.

Third, the price. You simply can't find a custom bass of this caliber for less. How do I keep my prices so low? By working a day job. Custom basses are a passion for me, but I don't rely on them to pay my bills.

So let's get started. Below you'll find a list of the standard features and most common upgrades. When you're ready to move forward, or if you simply have some questions, visit my Contact page to get in touch.
