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.

The Guitarworks DIY Bass Guitar Kit takes all the stress out of building your own bass. Thanks to its all-inclusive manner, you won't need to worry about the hassle and expense of sourcing every component, it's all in one box. Designed to make your life easier, the majority of components included are part of the Guitarworks range and have been developed by our team of specialists to ensure our high standards of quality are maintained.
Safe to build, all of our DIY kits include solderless wiring. This eliminates the need for a soldering iron as all wires can be clipped into place. The headstock even features a classic pre-cut design, eliminating the need for cutting and sanding tools.
Whether you want to swap out tone and volume controls, insert a new pickup or change the bridge. They'll be nothing stopping you from adding future upgrades to virtually any aspect of the DIY Kit Bass for a playing experience totally unique to you.
All of the sustainable wood included has been handpicked to avoid complications such as knots and imperfections. This ensures each body has been constructed from planks of wood with similar grain and colour, so your finish, should you choose to add one will look consistent and give you confidence that your instrument will last a lifetime.
The temperature and humidity treated body and neck wood comes completely shaped and fine sanded smooth, but not lacquered. This is by design, so you can unleash your artistic flair with any style you see fit. Add a splash of colour or modify and upgrade parts with our range of Guitarworks hardware products available here.
The Guitarworks DIY Bass Guitar Kit includes a paulownia body. Absorbing ten times more CO2 than other woods, this lightweight, sustainable tonewood is ideal for those who prefer to play bass stood for extended periods of time, minimising the risk of fatigue and discomfort. Despite being light, paulownia also offers great resonance and sustain. The body also comes pre-routed and has been prepped to ensure wiring up the pickups, selector switch and pots feels effortless.
Thanks to its maple neck, the Bass Guitar is built to last, offering a smooth playing experience so you can progress up and down the fretboard with ease. This can easily be attached to the body via its bolt-on design. Keen to avoid any wood going to waste, the fretboard is composed of thermally treated maple laminate. Produced using the same quality maple found on many high-end basses, the neck is composed of thin strips of maple which is then laminated to construct a neck with more strength and resistance than standard maple.
