Building a Bass with Traditional Methods – Timur

Artist Statement:

 For my senior project experience, I chose to build a bass using nonelectric tools because it combined many of my passions in an interesting way. I started playing bass over 6 years ago and have been playing ever since. My love of playing bass eventually grew into a love of all instruments and how they were made. I started teaching myself instrument repair and researching luthiery over the past couple of years and already knew basic woodworking.  I decided to build a bass without any electric tools because it forced me to slow down the process and not rush through it. I believed that doing all the work by hand would also create a personal connection that would be stronger than if I used electric tools.
