Much as the name suggests this is a design inspired by what has come before. Those that have followed my work over the years will know that I am very much focused on what comes next so this is a bit of a departure from my usual design process.<\/span><\/p>\n From a design point of view I have had no real interest in what would be regarded as the classic bass designs. I personally have never owned any of the the big four and when I played was not interested in them. Over the years I have been asked to build copies and have alway turned down the work because it was not something I was interested in, there are more than enough J Basses out there without me adding to the list.<\/span><\/p>\n So what brought about this look backwards? The answer is mostly to do with conversations I\u2019ve had with Colin Cunningham. As someone who has only designed basses that appeal to me, some more than others, having the perspective of a full time professional player over a period of time has brought to my attention aspects that, while aware of, did not overly influence what I was trying to achieve. Out of these conversations the RetroB basses were developed with design input from Colin. The idea was to produce a bass that gave a clear nod to the past, had a comfortable aesthetic being familiar on the eye, but retained modern sensibilities and features while still being recognisable as an ACG instrument. <\/span><\/p>\n So a radical bass for ACG in that it is conventional in most aspects, with the admission we are all standing on the shoulders of those that brought the bass guitar into this world.<\/span><\/p>\n All RetroB basses are available in both Custom and \u00dcber specifications.<\/strong><\/p>\n
