The Jazzbird

A labour of love. This is a bass guitar that i had built. Uniquely finished and assembled by hand, this instrument represents my progression from love of an art and hobby, to employing another artform to craft something to express that first love through. To be honest, it did not turn out exactly as i had hoped (on a purely preferential basis, mind you...) and is played less than it should. However, it is beautiful not only for its aesthetics and what it represents to me, but also that the process through which it was built was an invaluable learning experience. Whilst the final product is fantastic, it is the joy brought about by the process of its creation that is truely beautiful, this image and the item pictured only embodies and attempts to capture the beauty.
