Welcome to New Jersey Guitar and Bass Center
We opened in 1982 with a commitment to customer satisfaction. Whether you're looking for a quality, affordable beginner guitar or you're ready to order that custom boutique bass, we can help you. We're an old school mom-and-pop shop. (Well, just pop).
We inspect and set up all of our instruments before we offer them for sale, new and used. We can also service your instrument after your purchase, or an instrument you already own. We do set ups, fret dressing and other repairs to keep your instrument ship-shape (or guitar-shape, if you prefer).
We get visitors from all over the USA and the world.
“Call for Price”
This doesn't mean it's expensive. Either the manufacturer doesn't permit us to list the price or (more likely) the website guy didn't know the price when uploading the item. (Blame that guy).
“Call to Order”
This means we do not currently have the item in stock, but you can order one though us. We get most items in just a few days.
Have something to trade or sell?
We are always looking for stuff, especially instruments from Gibson, Fender, Rickenbacker, Martin, and many more.
Featured Instrument
Check out this Baby.
This is an Ampeg Baby Bass, one of several electric upright basses we have in stock.
This Baby was made in the 1960s right down the road in Linden, New Jersey. Her body is made from fiberglass with a sunburst finish and a maple neck. This one has a removable body extension added on the player's side.
The Electric Upright Bass (aka EUB) was created to have the feel and sound of an acoustic upright but with the ability to be amplified. Some more recent designs, like the Kydd, feel more familiar to bass guitarists.
See the Ampeg baby, the KYDD, and other Electric Upright Basses here.
