\Why should people choose your basses over others? People should choose an instrument based on their needs and budget. If I can meet those requirements, I’d hope they choose my instruments. You show at many different guitar conventions. What is this experience like? Is it important for someone in a business like yours to be in the public eye in that way? The shows are very cool, with lots and lots of exposure. It gets folks trying the guitars and gets them talking, which is the most important thing. The community is great with lots of friendly and enthusiastic people involved. Besides creating your guitars, do you have any other passions? What takes up your free time? I’m a full-time journalist. That and family takes the bulk of my time. The guitars will be a full-time deal someday! Who are your favorite bass players of all time? The ones that stay in the pocket. If you could pick anyone to play one of your instruments, who would it be, and what would the guitar look like? Well, I build three different bass designs at the moment, and am working on a second design for the guitars. One of those, of course would be what I’d like someone to play. I’d rather have the player choose me than the reverse.
