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.

Key Features
The Korg Volca Bass Analog Bass Machine is a compact groovebox for producers creating bass lines, leads, and portable electronic setups. Built around three analogue oscillators, it gives you multiple ways to shape your sound, from thick unison bass to layered phrases across each oscillator. You can even split them for bass and melody at once, opening up more creative options in a small unit.

Product Ref: 34628
The three analog oscillators give you direct control over how your sound is built. Use them together for a thicker unison tone, or assign each one its own sequence to create layered, interweaving patterns. You can also split them into different pitch ranges, letting you run a bass line and melody side by side.
Small tuning adjustments between oscillators add weight and movement, while chord settings introduce harmonic depth. It is a flexible setup that encourages experimentation without overcomplicating the process, so you can quickly move from simple ideas to more detailed arrangements.
The filter section is tuned specifically for bass work, giving you a clear way to shape your tone. Opening the cutoff introduces brightness and presence, while closing it softens the sound for a rounder feel.
The resonance control adds another layer, starting with a clean peak and moving into distortion as you push it further. This is especially useful for acid-style sounds, where that sharp, driven character plays a key role. Combined with the oscillators, the filter helps you move between subtle support tones and more aggressive leads with minimal effort.
The built-in step sequencer makes it easy to build and adjust patterns on the fly. Using the 16-step layout, you can see exactly where notes fall and tweak them instantly. Each oscillator can run its own phrase, which adds depth to your sequences without needing extra gear.
Real-time recording through the touch keyboard offers another way to capture ideas quickly. Features like Slide let you connect notes for that classic flowing sound, while Active Step introduces variation by skipping steps, giving your patterns a more dynamic and less predictable feel.
The compact design, built-in speaker, and battery power make this a practical choice for creating music away from your main setup. You can sketch ideas on the move or use it as part of a live performance without needing extra equipment.
Sync connections allow you to link multiple Volca units or compatible gear, keeping everything in time. MIDI input also lets you control it from a keyboard or DAW, so it can slot into a larger setup as a dedicated analog sound module. The self-tuning system keeps the pitch stable, so you can focus on playing instead of adjustments.
