News & Work in Progress

The biggest news at GW Basses is the final release of my new HRV Bolt Neck series of basses! I'm very excited about finally getting all the details worked out with this new line of basses, including my own line of custom wound "HRV" humbucking and quad coil pickups for them as well. They have been coming along very nicely and very well recieved! I'm working on a custom design for a 4 string HRV Bolt Neck for myself, and will be producing two others with the same design as part of a 3 basses limited series. Watch for this limited 3 bass series this summer!

The rest of this page will be dedicated to updates of basses and other work being done in the shop. I'll be providing updates on a regular basis, so keep checking back to see what how the basses are coming along.

Basses for Sale and Non-Comissioned Basses in Progress

These are basses that I am building that I am not for any particular customer. I'm always buying wood, especially any figured topsets that I find that I like. Every now and then I'll try putting together different pieces of wood until I find a combination I like, taking into consideration the overall timbre and tone the woods will lend to the overall sound of the bass as well as the visual effect of the differents woods as well. When I hit upon a combination I like I'll usually start building a bass with it. Some of those basses are either eventually sold through one of my sponsored players or a bass dealer, or I'll put them for sale here on this page.

Here are the non-commissioned basses I'm currently working on that are available for purchase direct from GW Basses. Some of the options, finish, inlays, hardware color or other details can be changed to suit you depending on where I am in the build process, so if you see something you like but might want a few small changes made, please don't hesitate to contact me.
