David Minnieweather makes some great instruments in your price range. He also has one on ebay right now that is SICK!

Re: FBB

I know there are many people here who like him and are very happy with his work, but I have decided not to go with him because of his philosophy of not building according to the sound that the customer describes. In an email to me he said he can build a bass that is "well constructed, plays
great, and has good ergonomics" but will not promise a certain sound based on different woods and etc.

This is why I have narrowed my list down to Stambaugh and (if I can get the cash together) NYBW.

If FBB is not a good fit for you, then Stambaugh and NYBW are both excellent choices .......

I have had three of his basses. I am ordering two more this summer, a fretted and a fretless. Dave is a great guy to work with...very responsive to his customer's needs.
I am not associated with his company in any way...just a very satisfied customer!

+1 on minnieweather (and that bass on ebay smokes!!!)

he's a hell of a guy too and quite talented.

Well, what about a web site??? I am always on the look out for a new bass that is custom made.

My votes for Wilser Ramirez his work is rediculous cheap for the quality.

I am surprised nobody mentioned Carvin. I have owned and played a lot of top end basses. Ric, Fender, Gibson etc.. And my Carvin puts most of them to shame ( I still love my 4001) and all of Carvin's offerings are under 2Gs

 

[stedtale]

+1 on Carvin too

You can chew on some of these for awhile.

$800.00 for a neck thru 4 string is very inexpensive (if the quality is there. )
I think I'll be watching this builder and looking for reviews!

Best of luck with your projects man,
