A couple of weeks ago we visited Jerzy Drozd at his shop in Barcelona. Jerzy showed us how he works and we could see how he finished an Excellency 5 that is now in our shop. Click here to see the report and click here to see the bass.

Christmas has been really busy around here (thanks to all our customers).

November 15
Apart from basses, amps and accessories, now you can also buy CD's and DVD's at Doctorbass.net. Of course, these are all bass related CD's. We have a number of items in stock at all times, but if something is sold out or you cannot see it listed here, just let us know and we'll find it for you (hopefully).

We have started this section with the works by two Spanish bass players: Juan Carlos Mendoza and Charlie Moreno. Check them out!



November 14
Just in, and at a very special price: a Warwick Thumb Bass Bolt on 5 string. Great offer on a superb instrument.


November 11
We have signed an exclusive dealership for Windmill basses. These instruments are made in Germany and are worning bass player's instruments with some great features and reasonable prices. The range goes from straight passive 4 stringers to acoustic active models with piezo among others. There is a great number of options. We have two 5 string basses now and there is a passive Jazz flying to Spain too. Soon we will be organizing clinics to promote these great instruments. Charlie Moreno is using a signature Windmill bass. serious stuff!






November 1
If you check this webstie regularly, you may have noticed that the sections on the left look different. These are images from paintings by Syra Larkin (wife to the Irish luthier Chris Larkin), and of course she has given us permission to use them. We have finished the section on Syra Larkin's paintings. There's more to life than basses..., believe it or not!

This is a unique chance to see how a high end bass is made step by step by one of the masters, and it is almost a live process because we will be uploading new pictures as we get them.

We have used these mid summer days to update our website. There are many exciting new items, so check it out:

- We have a Stick. It is a Bass Stick SB8, with fitted Roland GK MIDI pickup. Not only can you try it at our shop, but now you can also order a new Stick from us. It is a remarkable instrument, and one that will take you to an amazing musical world if you come with an open mind.


- We are pleased to have received 3 Overwater basses (U.K.). These instruments are nor short from extraordinary, and compare well to expensive USA handmade high end basses, only at a fraction of the selling price. We have included a coverage of the building process for your viewing pleasure.Click on any bass to see the full details of a particular instrument.
- Now something really NEW: we have worked with two luthiers to develop an instrument that had already been invented but needed some impulse to appeal to today's players: the Nylon String Bass. You may choose from a long list of options, such as body thickness, number of strings, electronics, etc. The first in this series to be in the shop is a 5 string (high C) with really thick sides, a cutaway and the Fishman Problend system with an undersaddle pickup + internal mic. Made in Spain, of course!

- Just in: 2 Human Base (Germany), one of them left handed.



- We've had the NSDesign CR4M double bass in the shop for some time. Now you can read the full description.

- Also new is a Musicman with piezo saddles. Amazing sound.
- One more new bass: a Carvin B4A, with a light swamp ash and a versatile pickup arrangement (MM+ Single Coil)
