A Shout Out To Oscar Prat

Oscar I thank you a million times over for creating with just an incredible passion of art a musical instrument that speaks of the spirit of a luthier with a hundred years of experience, a hundred years of that very experience that you already possess as a builder.

Yeah Jauqo, that is an awesome pic. And as someone who has had a chance to play the 15, the sound is awesome and it plays very nice.

Oscar makes wonderful basses. It's hard to believe these are passive instruments!

Yes he does Roy.

My introduction to Oscars talent as a builder was thru my good friend bassist Garry Goodman, who was telling about this killer 6 string passive Prat bass that i have got to check out. So the next day I get the opportunity to play that string bass and I was blown away by it, my friend Garry was really digging it and he ended up becoming the owner of that bass and to this is still digging it.

Here's the original build thread:

I loved that one.
