BEBOP
A reinterpretation of a timeless classic
Bebop is the bass that put us on the map. I had been building boutique style basses (with gorgeous woods, laminates, preamps, etc) for many years. All the while customers asked: ‘when are you going to build a Jazz?’ After saying no for the 20th time or so, I finally thought, well why not? It changed everything.
