Get Weird with Ibanez
Classic is cool. But if you want something groundbreaking, an Ibanez bass guitar might be more your style. Ibanez breaks all the molds to make some of the baddest, feature-packed low-end machines in the business — no matter your budget.
Shop Bass Guitars from Fender, Ibanez, Gibson, and More
Looking for a bass that rumbles, growls, and holds the whole band together? You’re in the right spot. American Musical Supply has a massive lineup of bass guitars for sale, from tried-and-true acoustic and electric 4-strings to extended-range beasts that push into 5- and 6-string territory. Whether you’re after the smooth punch of a classic bass guitar or the aggressive snap of a modern design, you’ll find it here.
Signs It’s Time to Refresh Your Bass Rig and Gear
Even the best bass guitar can only go so far without the right backup. If your tone feels thin, it’s time to freshen up your rig. AMS keeps a stacked lineup of bass amps, effects, and pickups so your sound always hits hard.
Check out what’s waiting for you:
Bass Amps: From Ampeg’s legendary punch to Aguilar’s studio-ready clarity and Orange’s gritty growl, we’ve got wattage for every stage.
Bass Effects: Explore Darkglass distortion, MXR modulation, and Electro-Harmonix filters to sculpt your signature sound.

The right upgrades can take your bass guitar from solid to unforgettable. With our selection, you’ll have no excuse for a weak signal ever again.
Every Bass You Could Want, All in One Place
Our collection doesn’t stop at the usual suspects. Dig a little deeper, and you'll find options that cover every style, build, and player preference.
Acoustic Bass Guitars
For players who love staying unplugged, we have acoustic bass guitars that bring warmth and depth without the need for an amp. Perfect for intimate sessions, acoustic gigs, or just practicing without waking the neighbors, these basses keep things simple but still pack a punch.
4-String Electric Bass Guitars
The classic. A 4-string bass guitar is the foundation of rock, funk, blues, and basically every type of music in between. AMS stocks everything from Fender Precision and Jazz models to sleek Ibanez designs, giving you that tried-and-true range every bassist should own.
5-String Electric Bass Guitars
Need extra low-end thunder? A 5-string bass expands your range with that all-important low B. Perfect for metal, gospel, and modern pop where heavy grooves dominate, AMS has plenty of options from brands like Music Man, Sire, and Yamaha.
6-String Electric Bass Guitars
For the adventurous player, 6-string bass guitars open the door to soloing, chord work, and massive tonal range. These extended-range basses are ideal for prog, fusion, and players who want to blur the line between rhythm and lead.
Left-Handed Electric Bass Guitars

Protect Your Bass Guitar with Hard Cases and Gig Bags
Look, hauling your bass guitar around without a case is basically asking for dings, scratches, or worse. One wrong turn through a crowded venue or a tumble out of the van, and your prized low-end machine could be toast.
At AMS, you’ll find everything from tough hard-shell cases that handle tour life to lightweight gig bags for zipping across town. Protect your instrument, keep it looking sharp, and spend less time trying to convince yourself that all those new blemishes add "character."
Frequently Asked Questions About Bass Guitars
Got questions about finding the right bass guitar? You’re not the only one. Here are some quick answers to help you get started and keep your groove tight.
Are acoustic bass guitars loud enough without an amp?
They’ll project more than an unplugged electric, but usually not enough for a band setting. Most players still plug their acoustic bass guitar into an amp for gigs.
How often should I change bass strings?
If you play a lot, every few months keeps your tone fresh. If you like a darker, more mellow sound, you can stretch it longer.
Do I need an amp to play a bass guitar at home?
Technically no, but without an amp you’ll barely hear the low end. Even a small practice amp will let your bass shine and make your practice sessions feel way more legit.
