JC Basses has moved from Auburn, CA to Rocklin, CA!! Along with that came getting married!! So after a long Spring/Summer of no builds, JC Basses is now back up and running. We just took on 3 new builds to start things off right!

Semi-Hollow On The Way

This should be the next build I will be doing. Some changes will be made in terms of electronics, but you get the idea.

How To Make Renderings

Lately I have been getting quite a few emails regarding my bass guitar renderings and how I make them. Instead of trying to explain it to each person individually, I thought I would share it with everyone. I am by no means a “pro” at Photoshop, this is just my way of doing it.

Part 1

 

Part 2

 

Since it is on YouTube, it is of course really small and hard to see. Sound isn’t that great either, but hopefully it will help everyone out.

12 String Octaved

The owner of the Mandobass came to me with an idea for a 12 string. It has a lot of similarities to the Mandobass, but still keeps it’s uniqueness. He wanted an underwater theme with abalone pickup covers and knobs.

Customer Testimonial

“The shape and crafting is amazing! It looks like a real work of art up close. I love the way the bolt-on neck connects to the body, the intricate carvings of both body and headstock… and of course, the top is simply amazing! Much more amazing up close than looking at it in the pics. I also love it that you didn't make the body too big. Great work with the design and the balance, considering that we only interacted online.”
