I loved the comment by wishnevsky (Nov 26, 2009).

"... I had no government or financial aid, except unemployment from my last job. Went to try for a government grant, and they offered to help me spent six months "creating a business plan" I told them i had a plan, "Buy some wood, make guitars, put them on eBAy, sell them, buy more wood."

"They looked at me like i was a three headed Martian hillbilly. So, i bought some wood..."




Wow, I bet that would be the www.wishbass.com Wishnevsky -- I actually have one of his basses; alas, it's too neck-heavy for me to play comfortably. But then, it was a one-off prototype based on a crazy idea of mine (how about a bass guitar that you can bow?) Some day, I will buy one of his more "regular" basses.


I always fantasized about a bass you can bow :)
