Donnyboy Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Looks good. Even better if available in long scale Quote
Muppet Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I've ordered one too - green burst. I already have a Chinese-made Coronado and am very impressed with the build quality so I'm expecting good things with this. I've no experience with this particular brand (as he's new), but I was taken with the specification for the price point, the looks and also the effort that's gone in to getting this far! 5-6 weeks for delivery of the first batch for those of us signing up now.

Mariner72 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 OMG!! These look awesome, I'm a sucker for greenburst!!! I've just bought a Starfire which hasn't even been gigged yet. I get the feeling my band don't like it!! This reminds me of a Vox Cougar or similar but hopefully sounding good and staying in tune! Can I really get one of these over the doorstep and into the man cave hmmmm? Quote
Musky Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I have absolutely no need for one of these and yet I find myself wondering what shape I'd replace the truss rod cover with if one happened to land on my doorstep. Quote
Chownybass Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks for all the kind comments guys. Just a few quick updates on what SK8 has kindly posted so far. We are looking to move from surface to air freight, so although I'll leave the current delivery timescales as they stand - I am looking for ways to exceed them. There's still a week left to get in the initial order if anybody wants to (for those in this batch you get free ebony picks and a free wide leather strap too). There's a discount code "basschat" for an additional £10 off. It means a lot to us here in the office how positive the feedback has been, it's been a hell of a job launching our own brand of bass with just 2 or 3 people. I'll finish by posting the sound demo videos. Thanks again! Stephen @ Chowny Bass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSWGbunvZwQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN5trdDk5DU Quote
Chownybass Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Just an update on timescales. Truss rod covers have now started manufacturing. They will take 10 days. I can take orders up until this point (15th March) if anybody wants to get in on this order. After this there is a week of manufacturing for the guitars - plus 6 days of air freight. Allowing a couple of days for me to receive and dispatch guitars out. Thanks everybody. Quote

Muppet Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I'm sure there must be more - it's just people can't tell from the thread title what it's about. I'm an optimist! Quote

basskit_case Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Any news on the Chowny basses? How long do you all have to wait to get hold of them? Edited April 28, 2015 by basskit_case Quote
