Bid with confidence! We can offer you the stability of a company that has been in business since 1959! We are committed to selling you the best instrument at the best price for your needs. Here are some of my customers' recent comments on the Brice Basses:

"Kurt, I just wanted to e-mail you to let you know how satisfied I am with my J-bass. This is my first time to buy a bass and I was extremely surprised with what I recieved. The first thing I check on a guitar or bass is the feel of the switches and pots and I was pleasantly surprised to find that those on my j-bass did not feel cheap at all. The neck seemed perfect and the fret edges were as smooth as those on my MIA Stratocaster. I was expecting to have to adjust the truss rod and saddles, but amazingly all I had to do was tune up. The truss rod needed no adjustment and the intonation was dead on. The finish was very acceptable and was similar or better than the finish on American Fenders. Thank you for restoring my faith in "budget" instruments and proving that I don't need to spend close to $1000 to get a high quality instrument. Feel free to use my statement to promote Essex and I will recommend you to my friends in the future. Sincerely, Ian Dove" 2/1/2003

"This is just to thank you for a phenomenal bass! I know you've heard this many times, but here's another bassist telling you that the J sounds better and plays better than much higher priced basses. I've been playing bass for 22 years and I'm very good at what I do: My SX Jazz is a cherished addition to my collection, and I play it often. I'm spreading the word about your amazing products. Thank you!! I'll be back for a five-string as soon as I have some cashflow. " Hill from Baltimore. 4-7-2003

"Hello Kurt, I just received my bass today and was compelled to write to you and share my experience with your company. First, let me preface this by saying I have purchased from all of the big mail order and many of the small mail order companies over the years and feel that I know what to expect as far as delivery times and quality vs. value etc.... and I must say you have beat them all. I am guitar teacher that teaches bass as well and intended to buy a bass that I could use for some home studio stuff etc. Let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised when I opened my bass and saw the quality and feel of this instrument. Plugged in it sounds equally impressive. And what is even more impressive is the price point at which you can sell these, amazing! Now for my comment on your shipping.... let's see, I received your e-mail tracking number Monday and had the bass Tuesday....unbelievable!! I am not the type of person who writes a letter on every impulse however I do feel that people do need to know when they are doing an outstanding job. Needless to say kurt I am one very satisfied customer with me and I will do all I can to spread the news about your company. Thanks again for all your help and keep up the good work. " Rod Chubb 10/10/01

"I received the bass today. It exceeded my expectations many times over. It looks and plays a lot better than I could have hoped for. Thanks for making such a spectacular yet affordable bass guitar available. Next time I look for a guitar or bass, I will take another Essex into consideration." Joe Drew August 29, 2001
