Cameronj279 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Not sure if this goes here or in OT, mods feel free to switch it if need be! Just got round to watching this documentary as it's just been put up in full on YouTube. Really enjoyed it and he seems to have a real passion for building basses. Would love to try one too, sound pretty great!

BassBus Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I watched this recently. Really interesting. I love watching these things. Bits of wood being turned into beautiful instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 That was bloody brilliant, I love seeing behind the scenes of instrument makers. Phenomenal looking instruments, really impressive and that is about as hand made as you can get. Right how much are they...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Didn't intend to but just sat through the whole of that. What a great guy, would love to commission a bass one day Edited March 28, 2015 by Drax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always something very genuine about great luthiers - passionate about the instruments, not the business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebass84 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Really enjoyed watching that. Now I really want a new bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Bumping this up as I just watched this documentary yesterday. Incredibly inspiring stuff. Actually I put it on while at work and wasn't really paying attention - not even to Abe Laboriel! It was the bass playing and bass sound about 6-7 minutes in that caught my ear (a bit of digging revealed it'a a guy called Rich Moore playing his Wyn with the Mark Lalama Trio - tasty! I now NEED to get some wenge back in my life!). Wound it back to the start and watched the whole thing, followed by all 16 of the "steps to build a bass" series.

SICbass Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Well I'm well late, but here's something well worth the bump. What a super nice and incredibly inspiring/modest bloke. Like DRAX, I took a quick look at this with no intention of watching it all and 55 mins later, there I still was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNACNx5UlR8 Edited September 29, 2015 by SICbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 First heard about this on TB and what a rough time some of the posters gave him regards his trouble with city council. Typical TB,I swear some of them would happily toast marshmallows while the Wishbass workshop burned. Great doc and really nice to see someone just do something they love.
