When people walk onto the showroom floor, it's not uncommon for someone to ask, "whats the oldest bass here?'.  It's the first one they walk by...sitting proudly before all others, and its believed to be from the 1780's.

So what else was happening when this bass was made? In 1783 the Treaty of Paris was signed ending American Revolution, in 1789 the French Revolution began and  George Washington is inaugurated as the first U.S. President.  A few more things happened as well...but these few always stick with me when I look at this bass...if it could just tell me it's story...who made it, how it got here...the stories it could tell.
