CHRISDABASS Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hi Ever since i started building my own guitars / basses i seem to want to play them exclusively and all my other instruments just get left on the stand!! should i sell them and put the money back into the business - more builds etc? what would you do? pic of progress on the latest builds attached [attachment=120190:photo 2.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hi Chris, they look stunning. But I would keep a couple of diffferent basses back just so you can cmpare your creations to them. Do you have more pics of your own builds and what basses do you still own, still got the Sadowsky's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRISDABASS Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Thanks steve! I need to get a better camera and get some quality shots sorted! For now all i have is iphone pics! I'll get some more up soon though The ones in that pic will both have one piece rosewood necks!! Cant wait to get them finished! The bass will be super lightweight too as the body is weighing in at 4lbs and thats before its contoured etc! I still have Sadowsky & Valenti 5 strings but sadly they dont get much play time! As soon as i build a 5 i think they're doomed!! Lol Knowing i could build 3 - 4 basses for the price of a sadowsky is the only reason i'm considering selling really! Hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Rich Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I sold the few basses I built in the 80s and early 90s and bought proper ones. I guess I wasn't very good at building basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 If you have no need for the money, I'd keep them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 If the bass I built sounds good, is versatile, reliable, looks great and plays well, then why keep the others? especially if I needed need the money. Sentimental value maybe, and Steve makes a good point about using them as a benchmark. If it doesn't satisfy these criteria, maybe a bit more r&d is needed, but that costs money. Catch 22 Yours look great btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
