girlonbass Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hi guys, I've got 893 brands of basses listed on my website, but only 46 of those are listed as being from the UK. Can it be so??? Can you guys help me find more bass brands that are from the UK??? Here's the current list...

BigRedX Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) There quite a lot of UK bass manufacturers and luthiers missing from your list: [url=http://www.mbwebs.co.uk/scrim/instruments.htm]Andy Scrimshaw[/url] [url=http://www.cliftonbasses.co.uk/]Clifton[/url] [url=http://crimsonguitars.com/]Crimson Guitars[/url] [url=http://www.wilkesguitars.co.uk/index.htm]Doug Wilkes[/url] [url=http://www.enfieldguitars.com/]Enfield Guitars[/url] [url=http://www.eveguitars.co.uk/]Eve Guitars[/url] [url=http://www.eversonguitars.com/]Everson Guitars[/url] [url=http://funnbass.com/]Funn Bass[/url] [url=http://www.fyldeguitars.com/index.html]Fylde Guitars[/url] [url=http://www.gedgreen.co.uk/]Ged Green[/url] [url=http://www.gusguitars.com/]Gus Guitars[/url] [url=http://www.jchamiltonguitars.com/]J C Hamilton[/url] [url=http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.carling1/John_Birch_Guitars/Home.html]John Birch[/url] [url=http://www.kifguitars.com/]Kif Guitars[/url] [url=http://www.kinkadeguitars.co.uk/index.php]Kincade Guitars[/url] [url=http://www.longfellowguitars.com/]Longfellow Guitars[/url] [url=http://www.mcintyreguitars.com/]McIntyre Guitars[/url] [url=http://overwaterbasses.com/]Overwater[/url] [url=http://www.rimcustombasses.co.uk/]Rim Custom Basses[/url] [url=http://www.freewebs.com/rpbasses/]R P Basses[/url] [url=http://www.seibass.com/]Sei Bass[/url] [url=http://www.siggeryguitars.co.uk/]Siggery[/url] [url=http://www.simonleeguitars.com/]Simon Lee Guitars[/url] If you are also including manufacturers of bass amps, electronics and accessories then you should also include: [url=http://www.adeson.co.uk/]Adeson[/url] [url=http://www.barefacedbass.com/]Barefaced[/url] [url=http://www.east-uk.com/]John East[/url] [url=http://www.endlessknobbing.com/]Endless Knobbing[/url] [url=http://www.newtonestrings.com/]Newtone Strings[/url] [url=http://www.orangeamps.com/]Orange Amps[/url] [url=http://www.simscustom.com/html/home.htm]Sims Custom[/url] [url=http://www.wizardpickups.co.uk/]Wizard Pickups[/url] I'm sure there's loads more that I've missed - these are just the ones I'm interested enough in to have book-marked. Also If you are going to list manufacturers and luthiers that are no longer in business then you need to include Bass Surgery (sorry no website to link to) and [url=http://www.staccato-art.co.uk/HOME_FRAME.htm]Staccato[/url]. Also I'd personally not include Tanglewood as they are essentially an importer rather than a manufacturer in the same way that brands like Grant and Kimbara were in the 70s.

steve-bbb Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 for shame no status ! on a more serious semantic note though , you say 893 'brands' - just wondering how many other basschatters would include luthiers as brands? i dont doubt they should all be included somehow but my general idea of brand would be Status, Wal, Vox, Shergold, Hayman etc. We have some great luthiers in this country but i would speculate as to how many luthiers would self identify as a brand? as usual there are exceptions and one springs to mind - the late mr tony zemaitis - is arguable that he as an individual was a brand, long before his son set up the japanese zemaitis custom shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
