I have been a customer of Best Bass Gear for years. I am from a small town in South GA. Well, on a trip to Atlanta I visited the Atlanta Bass gallery and fell in love with a bass. I asked Jim the owner who was the builder and where was he located. Believe it or not the builder Steve Kudela<\/a> was a one man shop building basses about 45 minutes from my home in an even smaller Georgia town. I found him in the phone book once I got home and gave him a call. He invited me over to his shop and this is where I fell in love with my single cut 6 string. He is definitely a well kept secret as I have owned everything from Roscoes, Ken Smiths and Sadowskys but this bass was special. I describe the tone as similar to a US MTD but slightly more organic\/ woodsy. I have done sessions with it and the technician instructed me to bring this bass every time. I truly believe Steve\u2019s attention to detail and craftsmanship place his basses in the same range with many other high end builders. I guess since he is a one man shop in a small town, its only a matter of time before his basses are known worldwide.
