Justin McCreary's 2nd bassThe Art of the Bass— I believe that building musical instruments is an art form to which there are endless possibilities—like there are with music and Life itself. I choose to hand build instruments one by one, because musicians are different and our instruments should reflect that. Fine craftsmanship, attention to detail and the versatility of my shop allow me to build just about anything you can imagine. Designed for you—I can create the instrument of your dreams. On the cutting edge of innovation, combining Art, technology, and traditional ideas, my goal is to make the finest quality instruments imaginable.

Below you'll find links to images and descriptions of many of the fine instruments I've created over the years. Browse around, and if you have any questions, just ask.
