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

Welcome Geoff

Welcome Tom

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.
