Greetings!

"Hi!"

 

Just sending out a quick blast on a Saturday afternoon! We've added a short Youtube video of Gary carving the top of a bass we're all looking forward to.

Fueled on nothing but instrument-making passion and 5 Guys cheeseburgers,
we're forging ahead with the hopes this instrument lives up to it's promise and heady inspiration.

This will become our first example of the "Brescian School" model, a large hybrid with deep ribs, a flat canted back, violin corners, and Kennedy f-holes on a Deluxe top - a tribute to the large beautiful basses of Northern Italy.  Our humble cause: to string up this honker and rattle the floors!

We'll keep you posted as this bass is completed and bring you video of the results.  Anybody looking for a big cannon of a bass take note!

Please let us know your impressions as we break in

 

And as always, the best is yet to come...so stay tuned!!!

And remember, if you have a favorite video clip, performance, or multimedia piece that is double related you want to share with me (and several thousand of my closest friends), please eMail me at [email protected].  Thanks!
