After my custom Dingwall is built, and paid for, I sincerely think a Benavente 5 is gonna be on deck as my next bass. I played one some years ago at a gig where my band was sharing the bill with some other bands. And, for whatever reason after playing it, I've always told myself that I'd have one built for me someday.
Ive never encountered your instruments but, if I did I would know i would love it and I have alot of respect for your attention to detail, your love of the craft, and your INSANITY of doing what you do! Go fishing or jump out of a airplane to release the stress you feel when some project isnt working !! LOL! Your like a bass angel from the Gods!!
hey i think youve won me as a creator well done really wish these scammers didnt scam my money so i could buy one i love the way youre patience payed off good luck to you from australia
yup, same Chris I knew in college when he was starting out building, the old man head of the department there was ex military and a good one.... if ya see this Chris, you remember that good old Black-and-Decker-Pecker-Wrecker, mentioning it, you know I'm not fibbin!
I'm trying to get a new single cut 4 or 5 string bass right now but it's not easy to do when you're working with only like 1500ish lol would be nice to own one of these one day

I don't know why you build basses but please keep building them because you put your heart and soul into it ! I would get me one, one of these days !
he's built some OUTRAGEOUS guitars too.
This is one of my favorite videos of all time
Very nicely done! Love the combination of cnc machine and hand work. Really cool how each neck pocket is relative to it's own neck to be installed.
I can feel the passion, love and dedication! True artist!
+anahowana Well said!

Looks like too much money for us normal people.
Nicely made but terribly designed :(
