The bass guitar is the backbone of many musical styles, delivering the low-end power that holds everything together. Designed to play deep, resonant notes, it typically has four strings—though five- and six-string models are also popular—and comes in both fretted and fretless versions. Bass guitars can be electric or acoustic, with solid or hollow bodies, and are used across genres from rock and funk to jazz and reggae. In this category, you’ll find a wide selection of bass guitars to suit all levels, from beginner to pro, each built to provide great tone, feel, and reliability.
Sunburst is a classic guitar finish featuring a gradient blend of colours that typically fade from a darker edge to a lighter centre, resembling the glow of a setting sun. This timeless style is popular on both electric and acoustic guitars and adds visual depth and character to the instrument. Sunburst finishes come in various variations—such as vintage, cherry, or tobacco sunburst—and have been favoured by many iconic guitar models throughout history.
A transparent guitar finish showcases the natural beauty of the wood by using a clear or lightly tinted coating that lets the grain and texture shine through. This type of finish highlights the craftsmanship and quality of the tonewood, giving each instrument a unique look since no two pieces of wood are exactly alike. Transparent finishes can range from glossy and polished to matte and satin, offering both aesthetic appeal and protection without hiding the guitar’s character. It’s a favourite among players who appreciate classic, organic style and want their guitar to speak visually as well as sonically.

The Hoshino Gakki company began in 1908 as the musical instrument sales division of the Hoshino Shoten, a bookstore chain. Hoshino Gakki decided in 1935 to make Spanish-style acoustic guitars, at first using the “Ibanez Salvador” brand name in honor of Spanish luthier Salvador Ibáñez, and later simply “Ibanez”.
In the 1970s, the Nisshin Onpa company who owned the Maxon brand name, developed and began selling a series of effect pedals in Japan. Hoshino Gakki licensed these for sale using the name Ibanez outside Japan. These two companies eventually began doing less and less business together until Nisshin Onpa ceased manufacturing the TS-9 reissue for Hoshino Gakki in 2002.
