Want to have a nice Strunal? An exclusive Laszlo Rac? Through rent and lease by Rikkers, the best bass comes within your reach. You can hire a bass for a single gig in town, if desired including transport. Looking for a good bass for a long period? Then we provide you with an attractive leasing arrangement.

You can hire a new double bass for half a year. You’ll pay 6 months of rent and a deposit up front, which equals 1/4 of the price of the instrument. If you decide to buy the instrument after 6 months we will deduce the paid rent and the full deposit from the selling price. This option is interest-free! After the first semester you can also renew the contract of course. If you decide to buy the bass then after one year you still get back half a year of rent and of course the deposit.

The lease arrangement is beneficial to all our new double basses. At the bottom of this page you will find the lease conditions.
