Every bass that I build
starts it's life as a concept. An idea or a design. Each one is intended
to fulfill a specific purpose in music style of application. I hace a
specific role or job that I need this instrument to do.
They are not some random collection of parts thrown together. But each
one is carefully built according to it's intened purpose.
Each bass once, constructed then needs to be compared to how well it fullfills
it's intended purpose.
The better basses aren't necessarily the most impressive looking instruments,
but the ones which fulfill their intended purpose the best. Some on my
failures are because I didn't stick to the plan. If I get lost with a
bass build...I go back to the original design and the reason why I built
it. That always pulls me back to my goal and gets the bass back on track.
