About Rob's Basses

I am an early intermediate-level bedroom bassist on a good day. Like most of us I started off buying well reviewed, new, mass produced basses from well known brands. My experience was decidedly mixed. Some were excellent right out of the box. Others were a disappointment with knobs bouncing around in the bottom of the packing peanuts, scratchy pots, nut slot depths way off, no attempt at all to set the thing up. The final straw for me was a pricy mid/high range loaded bass body from a top brand that buzzed like a mad hornet through an amp after I installed a nice neck. Opening it up I found that the wiring harness was missing half of the ground circuit ... including a ground wire to the jack! I've learned enough by fixing all these problems to know that I can put together quality basses part by part and will never buy a mass produced bass again. But that is just me.

On the plus side, I really enjoy tinkering with basses always with the goal of improving tone, playability, and appearance with each new build. I sell them as a hobby to (mostly) cover costs and start a new challenge while supporting my favorite parts vendors who are in it to make a living.
