Hello YouTube!

The 19th of March 2017 was the date of the Northern Guitar Show 2017. It was again held at the Rainton Meadows Arena, Mercantile Road, Houghton-Le-Spring, Tyne and Wear, DH4 5PH.

There was a wealth of cool guitars, pedals, amps, accessories and much more on display. I managed to peruse a load of guitars and gear that I desperately wanted. The stand out bass guitars however were definitely on display from Watson Bass Guitars.

Watson Basses are made by the luthier Brian Watson. As evidenced from the work on these fantastic low note monsters he clearly has a massive talent. Each instrument looked meticulously put together and had interesting unique features.

Each bass guitar is handmade in Yorkshire and is set up and designed to look beautiful but just as importantly to play exquisitely.

Here is the link to Watson Basses website:

If you're a bass player I hope you enjoy the video. Whilst it's not my primary instrument I was bowled over by the quality on offer here.

Watson Basses - Handmade bass guitars - Quality craftsmanship - Superior sound. High quality bass guitars handcrafted in Yorkshire, England. Individually suited to the player. Unique instruments built with attention to details, pride and bespoke service.
