Owner Scott Young writes:<\/p>\n

This beauty was built by the late David Minnieweather. David’s life’s passion was bass, both as a maker and an accomplished player – although he would say he just noodled. He started making bass guitars at middle school where his teacher instilled the concept of starting with a centerline, and of not building until it looked right on paper. David was largely self-taught, learning bit by bit from others’ advise and his own work.<\/p>\n

This is an active electronic short scale bass. It plays like a guitar. Im not sure of the origins of the wood.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
