Gary has been shooting a bunch of "random" videos for YouTube with his iPhone...take a look at some of the new ones!
Greetings!

Happy New Year!

Three days into 2013 and the workshop is buzzing with excitement and new basses are underway!  We've even begun to make basses for the upcoming ISB convention as June will come faster than you think!

A few months back Gary was contacted by John Patitucci about teaming up on another bass project.  John is spending time in South America with the Fundaci�n Danilo P�rez.  Danilo presides over the Danilo P�rez Foundation in his native country of Panama, which provides outreach music programs to children of extreme poverty, and is the artistic director of the Panama Jazz Festival.  John will be traveling to Panama for the 10th annual jazz festival and will be performing on our Brescian model Hybrid Upton Bass and presenting it to the foundation. 

John traveled up to our new workshop to pickup the bass Wednesday and spent some time with us talking bass, playing bass and shooting a quick video for us.

It was great working with John again and we we're honored to make an incredible bass for John to present to Danilo P�rez!

 

Drop us a line or call any time. And remember... the best is yet to come!

John has been a long time supporter of our efforts to make double basses of extraordinary quality, playability and tone that every double bassist can afford, and we were delighted to be a part of this effort to bring jazz music to children who would not normally be presented with such an opportunity!
