Euro basses???

[bubinga5]

Hello. Does any one have a list or know of any European bass manufacturers, are most of them Custom??

Thankyou.

[Machines]

Warwick (German), Spector (Euro models are Czech made)...umm..Sandberg (German), Vigier (French). Those are the main ones I think, most of the others I can think of are custom jobbies. If you're including UK then you can chuck in Status..

[Lfalex v1.1]

Vigier are French.
For the UK, add in;

Sei
Shuker
Iceni / Zoot
RIM
Overwater
GB

(although they're all a bit more custon oreinted!)

[ped]

Marleaux (Germany)
Basslab (Germany)
Manne (Italy)
Jerzy Drozd (Spain)
LeFay (Germany)
Celinder (Denmark)

A few from the top of my head...

Wow, great post, BigRedX. Good old Basschat.

[3V17C]

yeah some nice links there bigredx - a few in there i've not come across before. Don't forget also local to me: [url="http://www.guytonguitars.com"]Guyton Guitars[/url] - not too much in the way of basses on his site as yet (in fact just one!) but his guitars are very good indeed. If and when i go the custom route i'll probably head his way.

peace

Do you mean [url="http://www.bassbacke.de/"]Bassbacke.de[/url]?

Not bad but the list isn't just European makers.

If you're looking for a comprehensive list of bass luthiers and manufacturers from all around the world try the one on the [url="http://www.bas-extravaganza.nl/?page=links&catID=1&PHPSESSID=729dead311862cc9a5c60365a64acc42"]Bas Extravaganza site[/url].
