ChrisLovatt Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Ohhh a medium scale Evo sounds interesting! Yes. Quote
Chownybass Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 Morning all! UK production moving on nicely. Here are some more photos of the SWB-1 and SWB Deluxe basses in progress. 12 Quote

I really hope this model is reintroduced. I've been after an inexpensive P/MM bass that looked different, with black body and maple fretboard. This ticked all the boxes. Unfortunately, they aren't available any more. Quote

Stub Mandrel Posted November 26, 2021 Posted November 26, 2021 Why can't I see the pretty pictures? Quote

BabyBlueSound Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 It's been quiet here. How are things with the UK manufacturing @Chownybass? Hope I can get myself a short (or maybe medium) Retrovibe EVO next year Quote
Chownybass Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 We're still hard at work and should have new photos to show this week. Watch this space Hoping to have a fully assembled bass by Christmas! 1 Quote

BabyBlueSound Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 @Chownybass or any Retrovibe Evo owners - how contoured is the body? I am asking because on some photos, it looks a bit towards the slab side but not on others, and I really need my edges to be round. Quote

MJJS Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 I’m currently awaiting my SWB-1 and looking forward to it. But I’m going to be wanting a B-G 5 string (still short scale) if I get on with it. Hope that will be an option!! Quote
Obrienp Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Bit confused by exactly what is happening at Chowny. Lots of positive messaging on here, other forums and Facebook but the website is saying 8-10 weeks wait for CHB-1 and talking about the 2018 model. Is it just that the website has not been updated for 4 years? Quote

On the way to the factory today as it goes to fetch samples and get organised! Edited February 16, 2022 by Chownybass 6 Quote

Chownybass Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Sample assembly in progress. Other than being made in the UK. Changes are : * Maple Neck to Mahogany Neck * Satin Neck Finish * Satin finish on the back of the body * Considerably lighter weight Edited February 25, 2022 by Chownybass 4 Quote
