George VI is hard for me to keep in stock! Besides the fact it is a kick-@ss design that is more versatile than most other instruments, it also serves and underserved Bass VI market. There are just not a lot of choices and most are sub-par and made overseas.
If you’re looking for an instrument to help you find your own voice, your place in the noise, whether you’re a guitarist or a bassist, you might really dig what a bass VI has to offer. Especially this one.
I proudly make these right in my Meriden, CT workshop, from locally sourced and reclaimed materials - just like the rest of my work. But George is special, with all sorts of extras built in to the design to make it do and say more than the rest. Be sure to watch the demo video to get a taste of what he can do.
This retro-futuristic body design is edgy enough to turn a few heads, but traditional enough to fit in on most gigs. Whether you’re part of a band or doing an avant-garde solo/duo act, no one else will look or sound like you.
