Dear Bass Friends,    

    We are hoping the change of seasons finds you well. It is an unsettled time here in the United States. Perhaps looking through our website will give you a few minutes (or hours!) of peace.

      I have been working on the site for several weeks in an attmept to improve the navigation and update the content. I am fairly certain all the links work, though some link to skeletal (haha good for the approaching season of All Hallow's Eve etc) pages. 

WE NEED YOUR HELP! You can help in two ways and earn yourself your choice of  a newly Hand-Printed Beanie or Handmade Branded Leather patch riveted onto a ball cap, or an Iron-on Patch that you can iron (or better yet sew) onto something, or I guess we can just make you a leather patch you can rivet onto something if you would rather. 

​ANYHOW, there are

2 WAYS TO HELP--you do one or both for your gift):

1) If you own a Kimmel bass, please use the contact form on this page to let us know your current whereabouts and a quick update on your bass. Let me know if you originally read this on this page, on Facebook or on Instagram.

2). Please contact us through the form on this page to "vote" for what pages you want me to improve upon next! Also if you encounter ANY problems from a typo to a weird looking page, PLEASE do get in contact and let me know about it and whether it was a problem on a phone or a computer. Let me know if you originally read this on this page, on Facebook or on Instagram

    In the workshop Seth just finished an adorable hedgehog scroll and neck  (reusing the vintage rosewood fingerboard) for an old aluminum bass. He doesn't usually work on basses he didn't make, but he got himself one awhile back and they have piqued his interest.

     For occasional process photos, sometimes featuring Epli the Icelandic Sheepdog and Jerry the cat (our older cat, Bumbles, disdains the paparazzi), follow Seth on Instagram @sethkimmelbass.

      Please contact Seth directly via e-email or phone/text. Using the contact form on this page will send directly to his email so that is great.

 

     We don't check social media very often and messages left through those channels can get overlooked!

 Peace and Love,

LauraRose
