Gollihur Music is a LBGQT+ Friendly Business   Gollihur Music


Since 1997, we've proudly offered a varied line of Pickups and Microphones, Preamps, and Amplifiers for Double Bass at very good prices. Over the years, we've added Upright and Electric Upright Basses, Parts, Strings, Cases and Stands, Bows, and many other useful, quality products for bass players.

You benefit from shopping with us because our experience and focus means that you get real answers to your questions, from bassists! You can see that our product descriptions are in-depth and detailed, because they are most often based on our own use of the gear, rather than the generic "manufacturer blurbs" you'll find on most other websites. We only carry gear that we would (and often DO) confidently use ourselves: anything we consider selling has to pass the "Bob & Mark Test" -- or you won't see it here.

Our secure website is available 24 hours a day for your ordering ease. And we're committed to keeping products in stock; we ship most orders within 24 hours of being placed (excepting weekends and holidays, of course), and provide you with tracking and post-purchase support. And our many "extras" - like installation guides, product-specific tips, and even cool BASS stickers for your car - are included at no charge!


And we're more than just a store.

The Gollihur Music crew is happy to offer lots of useful, free resources on this website.

Finally, QUESTIONS are always welcome, whether you are buying stuff or not! We're all in the same boat, and if we don't know the answer ourselves, we'll try to point you in the right direction.
Our Blog
Changing of the Guard
We've been in selling upright gear on the web for 22 years now, and we've always been happy to be a small band of bass-playing friends, rather than aspiring to be "The Wal-Mart of Bass." I joined my Dad pretty early on, and we grew the business together for several years. When Bob decided it was time to retire, we went outside the family and brought Christopher on board, to replace me, so that I could focus my attention on learning the ropes and eventually replace him. I ultimately "bought Dad out" a little over five years ago, and we were back to two employees again, which seems to be our ideal balance.

In that way, I guess our situation is kind of like the Sith "rule of two" from Star Wars; we always eventually fall back to the master and the apprentice (though that is purely a business distinction, Christopher could definitely teach me more than a thing or two on actually playing the upright!)

So, I'm telling you all of this because Christopher has decided that the time has come for him to move on to pursue his music full-time; so Gollihur Music has brought on a new "apprentice." Luckily, no-one has to lose any limbs in a lightsaber duel; although I'm bummed to see him go, we'll let Chris walk out the door with our best wishes.

So, I wanted our longtime customers to be aware that you might hear a new voice on the end of your phone line, or read a unexpected name after the "Thanks!" note on your invoice or email signature. It's all good - Christopher is leaving on excellent terms, and leaves behind very big shoes to fill.

We are here! You can order with confidence.
The COVID-19 pandemic has people understandably highly concerned. With abundant cautionary procedures, the bassists at Gollihur Music are still maintaining our normal (online) business hours and shipping out orders every weekday.

Since we are not a "bricks and mortar" store, we are not affected by mandatory retail closures. There are just two of us here at the shop, and we have temporarily put a halt to in-person appointments to limit any chance of exposure. We are taking appropriate measures to protect ourselves and our customers from any possible infection. We're confident that we can continue to provide you with your bass needs through this complex time.

Do note that some of our suppliers have been suspending or limiting operations, though, so some products may be a little less available. But we are well stocked with the bass-ics!

Krivo Magnetic Upright Bass Pickup (2020 model, includes bonus Jack Mount)
Krivo Magnetic Upright Bass Pickup (2020 model, includes bonus Jack Mount)
This item is made in USA!The Krivo pickup is hand-made in Oregon. It's a specially-designed magnetic pickup in a (New for 2020 - Improved mounting system) wooden casing, which has been engineered to provide a more "acoustic-like" sound despite getting its input solely from the strings. For players in high-volume (Rockabilly?) situations, magnetic is the way to go to avoid feedback - and this quiet humbucker is the best option I've found. Its low-key looks and great sound really make magnetic pickups practical!
String Set: Synthesis Double Bass BSN900 Synthetic and Chrome
String Set: Synthesis Double Bass BSN900 Synthetic and Chrome
These versatile strings have a synthetic core with chromesteel windings; this provides a gut-like tone and feel, with a sustain character that is more like a steel string. Soft feel, stable intonation.

Recent Customer Feedback about Gollihur Music
Recent Customer Feedback:
BTW: Having used your professional bass case for several months now (including some good "mileage" on the weels!) I can report that it is absolutely excellent value for money, and showing no signs of wear and tear. Cases of this quality go for twice the price (or more) in this part of the world. I've shown the case to a couple of bass teachers I know, and I think there will be more customers coming your way from Switzerland.
