Thanks for posting this. Steve's a good friend of mine and a true original. If you ever wanted a fretless bass to try out, his would be a good choice. The instruments are crude, cheap, and handmade in America. Look him up at WISHBASS.COM. I apologize if this gets taken for spam. I didn't mean it that way.

I appreciate Wish; he does the fun part and leaves the absolutely boring finish work to the customer Good to see he's still doing his thing, I heard he was going to retire . . .

Wish basses can actually sound pretty nice in the right hands and amp.

Wish is a longtime friend of mine, and I don't think he'll be retiring anytime soon. He and a mutual friend were here at the house last week to play some music. Wish brought an upright bass he made, which sounded pretty good. I did end up with one of his lap steels and a Hele-Tele. Long story with all that.
I met Wish at a blues jam I helped host when I was 21. He showed up to what had become a gunslinger-wannabe-wankfest with what appeared to be an odd three-stringed bass. It didn't take long to realize he didn't worry what the rest of the world thought. I like that about him.
In addition, that cat knows some interesting old-timey music. Very cool. I spent most of that evening playing dobro with Zeke on guitar and Wish bouncing between bass and guitar. Between the two of them, I was pretty impressed with the songs I was familiar with as well as the stuff they knew that I didn't.
Nice to see some others know him, too. Yes, if you order one of his inexpensive instruments you're going to get something that isn't the normal shiny foreign knock off. You'll get an affordable instrument with character. I think that's pretty cool.
