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.
Key Features
The Chicago Select Bass Guitar is a must-have addition to any bass collection. Comprised of a basswood body, the five-string Chicago Select will instantly add weight to your tone, projecting a full bodied sound with an articulate mid-range. The inclusion of a roasted maple neck and fretboard offers great tuning stability and a rounded sound which compliments the split humbucker/open coil configuration.
Suitable for a broad range of playing styles, the Chicago Select's C shape neck offers a great amount of comfort for those who wish to play for extended periods of time. Take advantage of its single saddle bridge system for articulate lead lines and power chords. Its highly-adjustable nature allows you to achieve your dream set-up without compromise. For maximum aesthetic appeal, the Chicago Select comes complete with a striking reverse red burst gloss top finish, natural satin back and sides, and all-black hardware.

Reassuringly weighted and dynamic, Basswood is an excellent tonewood that makes the Select suitable for a broad range of musical styles. Thanks to its medium weight build it offers exceptional volume and tone, making it a great choice for both rhythm and lead performance styles.
The Chicago Select's roasted maple neck and fretboard allows the bass to effortlessly cut through and ground the densest of arrangements. Providing great resistance to temperature change and humidity, the Select offers a tight bass response, fantastic sustain and incredible levels of attack. The inclusion of these hand-selected tonewoods make the Chicago Select the perfect choice for those with expansive rigs who regularly incorporate distortion pedals and strive for a tone that makes a punch. This is reinforced via the inclusion of a bolt on neck, ensuring even more brightness to compete against walls of guitars.
Each component on the Chicago Select has been chosen by our team of specialists to guarantee an unparalleled playing experience. The bass features a single saddle bridge system. Unlike traditional saddles, the Chicago Selects are not physically attached to one another. Thanks to this each string will possess its own bridge, minimising the risk of "mud" and sympathetic resonance so that each bass line and chord sounds clear and defined. This will prove particularly useful due to the Select's five-string design, guaranteeing total control, without compromise
Incredibly versatile. The inclusion of a split-coil humbucking bass pickup grants you instant access to punchy, powerful and articulate bass tones. Compared to covered, open coil pickups offer greater clarity and definition, and minimise the risk of feedback when in close proximity to high-powered amplifiers. What's more, the linear humbucking pickup provides a variety of tones, allowing the bass to grow with you as your style and technique develops.
Thin, narrow and rounded. The Chicago Select's C-shaped neck is incredibly smooth, allowing you to progress up and down the fretboard with ease. It is ideal for a broad range of musical styles and will suit most players. Not only does this bass sound the part, it looks it too. The reverse red burst finish ensures it will seamlessly integrate into any aficionados' collection, holding its own against basses well above its price point.
To ensure you're ready to hit the ground running, the Chicago Select comes complete with a comprehensive accessory pack, consisting of a lightweight gigbag, strap, cable, plectrums and Allen keys.
