One day when shopping for a new bass guitar, the idea came to me that I probably have all the tools I need in my shop to build one. Three years later I finished my first Gaspar da Salo model bass guitar. One year later and in about half the hours I finished the second. |
The inspiration for the design came from guitars I dreamed of owning as a kid, one being a Hofner, made famous by Paul McCartney. |
Combining that with the finest construction methods, materials, and electronics, and incorporating design elements from upright basses, Here is the result. |
The shape of the body comes from the profile of a famous Gaspar da Salo upright from 1550. |
The scale is 34”, it is passive, and the quad coil Delano pickups deliver super clean, super clear tone and punch. |
I have the materials and hardware, I just need the time, but hopefully Spring 2018, I will have more ready to go. |
