HOW DOES IT WORK?
First, we discuss the project in detail with the customer. Personally, by phone or by mail. When the key data is available (wood species, optics, finish, electronics, hardware) a quote and a first drawing will be made. That can still be tweaked, and if everything is right, we can start. We keep our customers up-to-date with photos. Typically, a project takes three to six months, depending on the workload.
Four-neck bass? Fretless with three-octave neck? Everything is possible - if you have a special vision of your dream bass, call us, send a mail, or better still - visit us by appointment. We offer individual advice in our Hot Wire Studio, also by phone, and individual pricing. Each Hot Wire Custom Bass is a one-of-a-kind piece.
