LowDown Basses #001 & #002

Here are the very first 2, in what will hopefully be a long line, of LowDown Bass Guitars.  These two basses represent my discovery of building and repair and how much I have come to love it.  I learned so much in the process of building these and am very excited to see how #003 & #004 turn out… stay tuned!  Special thanks to JLee Photography for the photos. (And no these are not for sale, I'm keeping these 2!)
