About Me


Latest News!
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!

Why Watson?:

My Interests


If you have been searching for the perfect guitar, something incredibly unique, something that is truly a work of hand-crafted art, and plays and sounds like a dream. Welcome. Your search may be over...

"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
