Recently purchased Chowny SWB-1

[Dougzabass]

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.

I think he’s just excited about getting new bass. 
 

Ive owned one of these and I really liked it. I know Simon who does the setups and I’ve played a few at his place. Really like then.

Many thanks it’s all new for me so just have to navigate my way around

Dougie is a gentleman and I look forward to his future contributions to Basschat from Scotland’s second city, Edinburgh 😉

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

Cool!

 

I’ve known Scott for over 30 years now, we’ve done probably more than 100 gigs together. In fact we met on a gig where we were both brought in as deps for the same band, it was Christmas Eve sometime in the early 90’s. 
 

I remember him designing that bass and having the first one hand built by Brian Eastwood. It was quite special that first one.
