Have you any idea what you started???? A band?

Last year we did a gig in january at at football club's New Year party. In our second set we were joined by the singer of one of our guitarists other band. I'd never seen her before, no rehearsal but ...

A more recent clip is this one from a year ago. Only one singer left and two other guitarists.

Thank you John. Don't know why it took me so long to start making this one.

Seventeen years ago I formed a band I'm still playing with. Over the years there have been a number of changes in the band. Guitarists came and guitarists went. Keyboard players came and keyboard play...

The mother of all basses is the Precision bass. About 3 years ago I made one. Alder body, flamed maple top, maple neck with a pau ferro fretboard. Attachment : image.png The pickup is a Seymour...

Beautiful work as ever Marcel. That maple top looks superb. What was pear wood like to work with? Thanks, the pear wood was actually quite easy to work with.

"Who knows..." meaning "There a slight theoretical chance..."

After making a number of basses of my own design I decided to make some basses of a more classical design. The first one was this Jazz bass. But I wanted to give it a personal twist. So instead of a c...

did I mention it’s my birthday in a couple of weeks... I can’t believe as I type this but I may get into playing basses after seeing the recent posts of your work. Well, start playing the bass and ...

One of the most fun things when I want to make a guitar or bass is thinking of the woods I want to use. A couple of years ago when I was at my wood supplier's place (Masave woods in Zwolle, Netherlan...

I liked the sound of the fretless bass I had made very much so I decided to make a bass with the same type of pickup (Seymour Duncan SMB 4a). But with other woods. Ash body with a myrtle top, maple (s...

I had a Honer Jack headless 5 string bass years ago, i had a Hohner headless 4 string bass many years ago. It was a surprisingly good sounding bass for not too much money (if I remember correctly I b...

I have built 4 basses at the Bailey workshop and 11 at home. So far.

To be fair, Mark is quite a long way from most places. For me it's only 445 miles. Luckily I live close to Amsterdam airport, so it's the bus to the airport, flight to Glasgow, bus to Paisley Gilmour...

The third bass I made at the Bailey workshop was a fretless one. I put on flat wound strings to give it the woody sound of a double bass. But after some time I changed them again to round wounds for a...

Yes, very different. I never confuse my virtual friends with my imaginary ones.

Six years ago I decided it was time to make a 5-string bass. Again I started with a full scale design. Attachment : image.png And again It's got a swamp ash body and a wenge fretboard. But this...

@johnnierox-boo I don't mind the happy accidents, but I still try to avoid them though.

Our wives will all hate you! That's ok as long as their husbands don't.
