Pickups, Preamps & Electronics

  • I have been a customer of The Bass Spot for a few years now and have placed quite a few orders for custom Bass builds. I am always happy with the orders I place and the level of customer service I receive. Randy is very knowledgeable about all the products that he is a dealer for. I would recommend The Bass Spot to anyone looking for products that they are a dealer for over any other dealer.

  • Randy is always fast and friendly with his communication, and when basses are shipped to me, they are well packed and arrive quickly. I have worked with Randy now on 2 separate custom builds through the Maruszczyk website and their handy configurator. For the first one, I had a lot of questions while deciding what I wanted, and he was very patient with me, and took the time to contact Adrian at Maruszczyk to get the information I needed. Randy also helped to clear up any questions or issues that came up, making the custom ordering process an easy one, with great follow-up. Whether it is selecting from Randy’s in stock assortment, finding an in-stock instrument from the Maruszczyk website, or deciding to do another full on custom build, I would have no hesitation buying from Randy again. I feel that Maruszczyk/Mensinger are one of the hidden gems in the bass world, and I am thankful to have found a dealer I can trust that is friendly to work with! - Dr. Micah Terry - Indiana

  • "I could not be more pleased with this bass or with Randy’s service and expertise. And for what it’s worth, in an age of most other customer service experiences falling short, Randy met and exceeded my expectations. He is the consummate service professional, super responsive, very easy to deal with, and a real good guy too. Thanks Randy!!

  • "Randy helped me get an amazing MARUSZCZYK INSTRUMENTS bass through The Bass Spot. Super easy to work with and his service was “SPOT” on"

  • Randy is something new in the world of high end Bass sales: 1 part bass nerd, 1 part - extremely talented player, 1 part - snappy dresser, 1 part - savvy businessman who knows how to look for bargains, 2 parts - one of the most honest and trustworthy men I’ve ever done business with, and at least 3 parts - cuddly teddy bear. We have done maybe fifty thousand dollars of business together in high end bass gear and every time I can rest easy in the knowledge that he will give me an outstanding price and will stand behind the transaction if anything goes wrong. I can’t say that about most of the so-called "high end bass brokers and sellers”. They screw up the transaction, the paperwork or something just about every damn time. The bass world needs more Randy Rileys. Its nice to see him begin to soar.
