TorVic Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 [media]http://youtu.be/qCOycca1ezo[/media] An iconic bass! A rather long video but quite fascinating to see how it is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydentaku Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I love this kind of thing. Like the program How Its Made, but something I am actually interested in and no annoying narrator! I shall be searching for more like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellyfish Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Less puns than 'How It's Made' as well, which is always a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt P Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Thanks for posting this, a great watch, i also watched one of the videos suggested afterwards which was of a factory in the USA making a certain brand of instruments the name of which i won't write, but it was a tour of the factory by their CEO (who has the initials JH, was surprised to hear him state that he was a bassist near the end too.)

[/quote] Fair enough, miss my 'cavern' violin bass, but the sunburst made everyone make the Macca connection, I've spotted a few 'contemperary'/'Icon' series in weird and wonderful finishes. May catch one of these used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
