However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The dual passive black soapbar pickups on the G4M Bass Guitar are renowned for their ability to produce a warm, vintage-style sound that is perfect for numerous musical genres, including Jazz, Blues, and Rock. Purposely designed for bass they have a wide dynamic range that allows them to accurately respond to the subtlest of techniques making them ideal for the most expressive of performers. The inclusion of separate volume and tone controls for each pickup gives the player total control over the bass' tonal quality.
The bass features a Graphtech Nubone nut that is made from proprietary synthetic material and offers superior tonal qualities and durability. The material is designed to provide a consistent tone across all the strings for greater tuning stability. These nuts are also resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that they last longer than traditional materials like bone or ivory.
The G4M 878 Bass Guitar features a hardtail bridge. Not only does this offer great resonance and an increase in sustain, but also helps provide improved tuning stability as the strings are anchored firmly to the bridge. This yields a naturally brighter tone thanks to the increased string-to-body contact that makes notes feel more focused and articulate.
Designed with a C-shaped neck, the G4M 878 bass guitar offers a comfortable playing experience for bassists of all skill levels. The contour of the C-shaped neck conforms perfectly to the shape of the player's hand for an improved grip, allowing them to play for extended periods.
With a strong commitment to delivering an exceptional user experience, G4M offers a broad range of premium spec, high-quality instruments and technology across guitar, keys, live and studio categories.
