Prices and options
All the basses I build are custom instruments with various wood combinations and hardware options. I think it is really exciting when my customers approach me with a dream bass and ask me to build it for them. In the process, we decide on hardware, wood selection, and so on. As a consequence, the price of the bass will be highly dependent on the options selected and whether you provide the hardware yourself or not.
