Command the Stage. Define the Groove.
From the groundbreaking 8-string H8 to today’s modern line, Hagstrom basses continue to deliver unmatched tone, playability, and Swedish craftsmanship.
Where Precision Meets Power
Hagstrom bass guitars are built on a tradition of innovation that began with the legendary H8 — the world’s first 8-string bass.
Since that moment in history, Hagstrom has continued to push the limits of tone, resonance, and craftsmanship.
Every model is designed to deliver clarity across every frequency, from rich, rounded lows to tight, defined highs — built for players who demand both feel and finesse.

“Every Hagstrom bass is a blend of vintage soul and modern muscle.”
