Chowny basses on sale

Strange name, strange pricing. But I dig the look of these! Where are they made?

 

They have a cool stingray clone also!

 

These are so cool! How am I just hearing about these?

 

Ah, it is a UK company. Only cost about $65 to ship to me in NY though! Not bad.

made in china, set up in uk

 

Production has been moved to India where we make the SWB-1 basses as from 2019 .

 

We'd like to think of it as an alternative. Not a clone. Has many of the features of the Ray for not much more than the price of the Stirling. (Through Body Stringing, Original 1977 Pre-EB Pre-Amp) Plus it's super light.

We're at NAMM this month if anybody wants to come check them out.

 

It's my surname (last name for you Americans) with a "Y" on the end. Blame my parents. They are made in Chennai in India. We're a mid price point sort of company - we'd like to think they represent pretty good value. Shout if you have any questions.

 

I didn't mean anything by it. The name is fine, just different. These basses look great. Assuming the tone and playability is there, you are going to sell a ton of these!

 

When and where can we expect to see these in the US?

 

Man, that’s a great looking bass ! I wonder what the weight is like ? I do 175 or more gigs a year on average .... some years over 300.... so something like this could be very good for the hands, and if it was light enough, very good for the shoulder as well!

 

They're usually about 7.8-8lbs depending on the bit of ash.

 

anyone start a chowny club yet?

 

Pick only ? Bah ... leave it ...
