What Makes a Truly Custom Bass Guitar?

A custom bass guitar is more than just an instrument, it's both an extension and expression of the artist that plays it. There are many companies building custom basses now and each of them seem to do well in at least one area. Choosing the right options to make your custom bass more "you," and finding the right builder are important things to consider when looking for a custom bass. Look at all aspects of your instrument before making a decision.

The very first aspect is curb appeal. If a bass is just plain ugly, you probably won't appreciate other aspects of it as much as if you had to pick your jaw up off the floor every time you looked at it. As uncritical as we want to believe we are, everybody judges with their eyes first. You want an instrument that makes you proud in public. If you love how your bass looks, you'll going to feel good when you're playing it. Plus you'll love the jealous stares from everyone else in the room. When it comes to curb appeal you've got to think through all your choices. There are countless woods, finishes and hardware to choose from. This is why it is so crucial to work with an artisan with decades of experience and understanding of woods, electronics, setups, and all other aspects of the building process. One decision affects others, so it is important that your builder knows every details.

The second thing to think about is action. There is nothing worse that a beautiful bass that is a chore to play. I am going to skip all the relationship analogies to better paint my point, but you come up with your own, if you like. It is imperative that your bass be built by a technically competent bass player. There is no way for someone that cannot play to understand action. So many "custom" bass guitars these days are nothing more than a small production line run by people that have never played bass. A Rybski bass is not intended to be wall art. It is designed and built by a bass player, for bass players. As soon as you start to play a Rybski you will join a long and growing list of believers.



The third area to consider is electronics. How anyone could claim that a bass is custom when it has pickups ordered from a supplier blows my mind. Custom instruments require custom electronics. I will spare you all the technical jargon and cut to the common sense: There is nothing custom about stock electronics. The pairing of playing styles, woods, and electronics is something that Rybski takes great pride in. There are very, very few builders in the world that are able to not only grasp, but excel at, all of these areas of instrument building.

Rybski is one of the extremely few artisans that make a true custom bass. Rybski builds what bass players are searching for when they're dreaming about their own custom bass. Rybski is a one man shop with in-house custom electronics. One of a kind designs and killer finishes aside, Rybski is well known for their playability by true musicians around the world. Your long wait for the custom bass guitar you've been dreaming of is over. Get on it. Contact Rybski.
