If you are planning to market, what prices...?
That, my friend, is the question! I don't want it to be a "boutique bass".I want players like many of us here to be able to afford it, and not worry unduly about taking it to the Hole In The Wall for fear of dinging it.
As such, it must be;
A one design (KISS rule)
Be different yet totally familiar.
Built in runs of, let's say, four at a time.
Use the best materials I can afford,
And keep it as much under 2k as possible. I would prefer to be able to sell them for 1500. It takes me too much time at the moment to build them and have them be remotely affordable. Of course, it may be academic at this early stage of my conversion to Luthiery! if it all boils down to 5 bucks an hour when all is said and done, I think it would surprise the hell out of me. I ain't quitting though. I wish I had done this 10 years ago. Lovin' every minute of it!!
