Ruokangas Custom Guitars
Finland's Juha Ruokangas has been building some of the finest guitars in the world for a while, but he didn't get around to making a bass until recently...

Cheers.

Prestige. Mainly a guitar maker, but they currently have one bass in their stable. I only know of them because i own one.

If you're getting any sleep at all then we haven't made the task difficult enough yet.
Please offer ways to sort them by number of knobs, or by the types of wood used - listed by janka hardness scale, or number of coats of finish.
If you get that done before you're too old to type, then come back and I'll think of some more "must have" features.

Thanks for including Godin!
VERY interesting, Terri. I'd say there's a little something for everyone in that group. Well done, as usual.
There are a few links to fix. On your James Trussart page, the link to his website is one. And the link from the thumbnail to your Monzina page gives an error.
Some of those are very impressive. I liked California and Jersey Girl in particular.

I'll bet that aluminum bass sounds interesting but brrrrrrrr. I've played the old Hamers with aluminum necks and they always felt cold. Can't imagine an entire neck and body that way. Probably sounds cool though.
