"To be short, I am amazed. It is rare to see such "early" basses by a builder be of such superior quality." -- Dan Lenard, Luthier's Access Group

"The bass itself has far exceeded my expectations and has delivered an exceptional playing experience that, for me, has been matchless to any other bass I've owned.... The attention to detail and craftsmanship are second to none.... When holding the bass, you have the sense of exacting Old-World artistry combined with state of the art engineering and audio technology.... The body design is beautiful, artfully sculpted, light & comfortable. "
-- Bob Kennedy, proud owner of Bass Serial #07B011

"WOW ! No doubt I'm keepin' my new Instrument....The gloss finish is beautiful and the combination of the various woods and the 'build quality' is Breathtaking !....The 'birdseye maple' fretboard too is very beautiful.... Again, thank you for the Great sounding and Great looking bass guitar ! " -- Nick Verbic, proud owner of Bass Serial #06B005

"The build quality is world class, certainly among my Top Ten Builders list. Playability is fantastic, they sound terrific, the finishes are top notch." -- Dan Lenard, Luthier's Access Group

LATEST NEWS
September 3rd, 2008 We just sold our 4 string single-cut bass to a bass player in Connecticut. You can see a photo of it on the left of this page.
August 1st, 2008 Our recent 6-string bass which was featured in Bass Player Magazine has been transferred to The Bass Player Proshop (www.bassplayersproshop.com) in Sweden where it is now available for sale (if you hurry!)
July 3rd, 2008 Check out our article in the August issue of BASS PLAYER MAGAZINE where our recent 6-string single cut bass is reviewed in detail!
April 5th, 2008 We just finished a new bass - 5 string 35" scale with a beautiful Koa top. It features WATSON dual coil pickups and a Mike Pope 4-band preamp. Go to our site to see some photos!
March 5th, 2008 Bass Guitars for Women bass Players underway. We are launching a line of compact, short scale basses engineered for those bass players of smaller stature. Same quality, same refinements, same sound, all is a slightly more compact package!
January 29th, 2008 Sold our 5-string headless bass today - sad to see it go though! Oh well - have to make another one!
January 23rd, 2008 We are officially launching our own line of top quality bass guitar pickups.
.. .. .. .. ..
Why Watson?:
This is a legitimate question I would expect from any prospective buyer, especially since there are several excellent luthiers out there building beautiful guitars. However, we are determined to provide the discriminating bass player with an exciting alternative instrument. For those willing to take a chance on a new custom builder, we will do everything we can to exceed all expectations. More...



Philosophy:

Our philosophy as individuals and as a business is not only to provide the best product we can in terms of design and manufacture, but to do that with an original and unique twist, making each instrument a distinct individual.. More...




Design:
How do we set our products apart from the rest? There are many great guitar builders out there and each one of them has a style that separates them from the others. More...



Quality:
Quality boils down to two main ingredients: Materials and Workmanship. More...



Service:
We have all experienced the overall decline in customer service in the marketplace over the past years. We want to try and bring back the feeling that the interaction between the vendor and the client is a friendly and cooperative experience. More...
