The Devon Certified Preowned Program

Devon Certified Preowned Program (CPO) is for pre-owned Devon instruments that have received the Devon Renew Program revitalization. Having been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, renewed, tested, and set-up to the high-quality standards of Devon Bass, you have the added confidence of knowing your bass carries the Devon Bass guarantee of quality workmanship. Since Devon CPO instruments have not been modified from their original build specifications, you can rest assured they look, play and perform as you'd expect a Devon Bass should. Every Devon CPO instrument comes with a one-year warranty against structural, electronic, and hardware malfunction. Devon CPO basses are only available directly from Devon Bass and come with a Devon Renew Certificate of Authenticity.
