150 Bass Brands

[girlonbass]

you're missing a significant number of the smaller, custom builders who frequent TalkBass. most of them have web pages you can find with very little effort

all the best,

R

Thanks! The list is seemingly endless isn't it? I'm adding a couple everyday. If you have any faves, pass them along!

Gagliano -- cheap solidbody double-pickup, 30" version of the same bass made by Hofner but at a cheaper price. Had the same electronics and PUPs at the Beatle bass but with a 4-in-line headstock and a Fender-like bridge. My second bass in 1966 and it sounded fine.

How is jackson and SX not included?

Also J&D Luthiers, one of the more popular brands in Australia.

Gonna say Rogue and Samick too but someone beat me to it.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Carl Thompson basses either. If there's one company that should be on any list, It's Carl Thompson.

Jackson and Carl Thompson are there. Both under "C" Jackson is lumped with Charvel. Samick is kind-a there under Greg Bennett.

Thanks for the others though.

Are you intentionally ignoring the list of over 300 bass brands that was linked earlier in the thread?

 

[OmnitzGarima]

Oh, jeez, I thought it said 150 Brass Bands.

 

[frianbisher]

Atlansia?

I don't think so. I see an earlier post from you, but can't see the link. Can you repost the link? Sorry if I'm being thick.

I saw another link that that has over 1100 entries. But the list has music stores, broken links and luthiers that don't appear to make basses. Others are also pointing to bass amps.

I'm just weeding through it all a bit at a time. The big list are a bit of work so I may look at them last.

My Link Removedwebsite wasn't intended to be a simply a list of basses. It was intended to be more of a place to document basses I thought were interesting and to cross link to other related resources. See the Link Removed as an example.

Mostly its just a place for me to document what I find as I try to expand my knowledge of something I'm interested in. Hopefully others find it interesting too. If not that's fine as well.

That is so funny! Just one misplaced "r" !

 

[girlonbass]

I hope I've haven't offended anyone by not responding to their post. I have read them all and have printed off the thread so I can go through each one. While at the same time this is a bit laborious and will take time. For each link there is a bit a research, collecting photos and a new webpage created for each brand. I'm trying not to just add a name but learn something of each of the brands listed. It's all very cool. I had no idea there were so many.

Sincere thanks to everyone that has contributed!

Yeah, it was a little hard to read, hehe. I was a bit lazy too hahaha

 

[girlonbass]

david eden, hartke, SWR, walter woods, bag end, aguilar and those are just amps you missed of the top of my head. thunderfunk. takamine makes bass's?

Do any of these company's make basses?

 

[girlonbass]

Okay, so I added another 50 basses to my website. Now there are 200. I can see that like Carl Sagan would say, there are "billions and billions"

Lots to come in the future, but thanks to everyone that made suggestions.

Thanks for the comment on the Resolectro Bass.


"Good news/Bad News" Department. Here is a photo of the double neck in it's glory days (I built it about ten years ago):

Unfortunately, here it is in it's present state (It took a swan dive off of it's wall hanger):

...It will live again.

One last photo. This is Slingblade; It was built for a recent TB Builder's competition:

It was built out of a old oil change pan, a junk 16" drum, a couple of shelf brackets and whatever parts that I had laying around...Big Fun! Here's a link to the build:http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=684492&highlight=moonshine+banjo.

Oh my!!! That is truly sad!!! Hope it can be repaired. I'm adding it, in it's happier days, to my website.

thanks,
Terri

PS. The string configuration on both necks is the same. What's difference? Tuning?
