List of TB Luthiers?

[wilser]

Oh no.
The wrath of the "Pennsylvania Luthier" will soon descend on this thread and state that there are no real Luthiers since the Internet came along.

oops! you did it again!

 

[Suburban]

Currently working more on getting the workshop up, but I do build basses, and the definition wilser brought up makes me a (humble) luthier...

 

[pilotjones]

Oh no.
The wrath of the "Pennsylvania Luthier" will soon descend on this thread and state that there are no real Luthiers since the Internet came along.

Or, as likely, the "Santa Cruz luthier."

Look, regardless of the big debate that has been held in other threads twenty times already, for the purposes of this thread I think we are saying, "which TBers are building basses." Or maybe, "which TBers are building basses for sale."

 

[DavidRavenMoon]

I think if you make basses for sale, you are a professional luthier. You can also be a hobbiest luthier.

And yes, there are some people who attempt to build that aren't luthiers. They just hobble together stuff. I'm also not sure how I feel about people who just buy Warmoth parts and screw them together. Yes, it takes some skill, but that's not building a bass from scratch, so, no luthier there I'm afraid.

i'd like to be added. i've only built a few guitars so far but they have sold. i build solid body electric g***tars and basses and will build at least one acoustic instrument in 2008.

i'm in west virginia and my website is Link Removed

i lived (and worked) in an apartment up until a few months ago so my website is pretty nice considering my low output but my new workshop is almost complete and i will be able to ramp up production soon.

Sorry for the delay... I guess I should be into the European Luthiers List (I also have a regional degree in classical luthiery).

[Benavente]

I've dabbled with a few basses...

 

[erikbojerik]

I've dabbled with a few basses...

...and Geddy is really a singer who "dabbles" in bass.

I'll throw my hat in....basses and guitars, located in Maryland, which must have more luthiers per square mile than anyplace that's not called Nashville.
