Hi everyone, I'm in the very early stages of putting together a *Celebration Of Life event for Chris*. There will be a stage and sound system :-)
A few people has offered to perform, so I'm reaching out here to see if anyone else (or band) would like to play a couple of songs that day, in Chris's homage. There are so many musicians in Vancouver that loved and respected Chris, so it's been hard for me to pinpoint everyone - so please reach out if you want to be part of it. Preferred date is sometime in August, but I won't confirm until we have everything fully established.
Please DM Basone Guitars with any suggestions or questions, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Feel free to share this post.
Thank you!

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Chris Bas, Basone's luthier and founder. Chris was a passionate, talented person, a loving dad, a wild spirit. We will forever cherish having him in our lives.
Details of upcoming events have not been decided yet, but I'll be posting here when it's time. For now I just ask you to please send out prayers/positive vibes to him.
I apologize for not posting this sooner, but this has not been easy. We love Chris very much and it's taking a while to sink in.
Thank you everyone, Jeane
