My name is Travis Abshire and I build electric bass guitars. I am the sole proprietor and the only one who touches these instruments from raw lumber to completion. I love the beauty and tones of diffrent woods, and electronic and hardware combinations. My basses look and feel "boutique" but the way they sound really sets them apart. I have a unique design for a decievingly light and nearly impossible sounding guitar. I call it "dynamic chambering". Without giving away all my secrets, I hollow out the body wings like a violin.This is combined with a multi-laminate neck through the body. I use only the finest hardwoods and each piece of lumber is subject to a "tap test" ( tapping one end of wood and listening to the other). This determines musical qualities and is how I am able mix and match certain woods to produce certain tones( a favorite part of this little hobby of mine). Because diffrent players have diffrent needs... period! It is important to me that each bass I build also has its own distinct characteristics, or its own voice, so to speak. You see... TONE... is my thing.
Now as far as material, hardware, and specs ect.
I will use whatever wood, electronics, or specifics neccessary to achieve the goal set by the customer. I am versatile. To see the specs of guitars already built, check out abshirebasses.com. In will eventually figure out how to post pics on this page, in the mean time, please look in my pics page for guitars.If you really want to read something about me personally then look in a diffrent box, this ones getting cramped,.
