Cheers Rob. As I’ve said I’m am definitely not a hero worshiper in anyway but recognise and appreciate a master of his work. We always hear opinions of the unsung heroes off bass. For me he’s definitely up there with them. Such a flowing talent deserves more recognition.

Got to say it has a nice balance in my opinion. It’s been designed with everything taken into playing with comfort. As I say it suits me and my opinion. I recommend listening to Scott Whitley on YouTube describing how he designed it. He definitely knows his way around a bass.😉

I sound like a sad old sod but had to send my appreciation of the bass to him. Probably deleted it as he’ll have a lot of junk in his mailbox. I have rheumatoid arthritis in the hands especially and don’t have the same flow as a lot of players and just wanted to say how it has brought the enjoyment back to playing. I’m still rubbish but I’m a trier 😂😂😂

It’s got a great feel and balance to it. There’s always one out there that hits all the right buttons. Feeling blessed I’ve found mine. This will stay with me until I’m the wrong side of dirt.

Scott Whitley on YouTube demonstrates Chowny SWB-1 he designed. Well worth a look. I’m absolutely delighted.

Just received my latest purchased CHOWNY SWB-1 SHORT SCALE from Stuart Paterson aka (songofthewind) and can’t praise him enough for the communication from start to end with countless updates and information. It’s restored my confidence in the genuine people who are still out there. I’ve just tuned it and had a quick tickle on the strings. Boy this little beauty packs a lot of punch 🤜 If you’ve never heard of them I recommend you check it out. Obviously it won’t be to everyone’s taste but for a short scale bass and I’ve limited finger flexibility it feels like it’s going to be perfect for me and no brainier for someone starting to play and the more experienced

Many thanks it’s all new for me so just have to navigate my way around

Well if they are anything like you to deal with I’m in the right place👍

Too late Johnny already there with bass guitars 😂

Hi everyone this is the first time for me here. Very much a virgin to basschat so be gentle 😁I’m just back into the bass after many years. Life’s priorities have changed and given me the opportunity to play again very much for my own entertainment. I’m pushing on in years with arthritis in my hands but the benefit of practice has done wonders. Not same suppleness or speed but who cares. I don’t have the ambition to perform and is purely self satisfaction for me. So a final shoutout to “songofthewind” for introducing me to this site.
