I can remember doing my own string changes and setups on my very first bass. Shortly after moving to Chicago to pursue a career in music, I started attempting some more serious repair work on my own instruments. LowDown started out of necessity more than anything else. The pursuit of the perfect instrument eventually led to attempting to build it myself. I would like to think I am one of the pickiest bass players in the world. That attention to detail, both in build quality, wood working, playability and sound have led me to create the Custom Series basses. Handmade, custom instruments for bass players, made by a bass player.
The reality of being a professional bassist and playing 200+ gigs a year is sometimes you need a classic instrument. Or maybe your personal preference as a bassist is vintage inspired design. Whether it be a P with flats or a 5 string J, I understand the need for bassists to have a well rounded stable of instruments. That is what led to the creation of the Classic Series line. All Classic Series basses are CNC machined bodies and necks, Made In America, of the highest quality woods. The basses are then hand finished at my shop in Chicago.
Whether you’re looking for a custom, boutique experience or a vintage inspired design, LowDown Bass Guitars has got you covered. Thank you for taking the time to visit this website. Please contact me if you have any questions or are interested in ordering.
