Mike Anglin's Custom Daley Electric Bass Built to Mike's requirements, like being short scale to fit in a guitar gig bag to allow it to fit in the over hear bins on aircraft. Mike wanted a 5 string electric bass with a maple body contoured for comfort. The maple was so figured, Mike wanted a nice bright colour to show off the grain so we went with red. |
Sim will be featured in the upcoming “Porchlight Sessions” documentary which investigates American music culture with a fresh perspective through musicians, radio and impromptu conversations with artists and the fans that follow them. Sim is feathered in his role as a Luthier, instrument repairman & musician. He tells how he came to the US & became a world renown mandolin builder and one of the “go to” repairmen in Nashville, TN.
The documentary is reported to be airing to 26 million people & is sponsored by the documentary channel. There are plans to debut the documentary at the Cannes International film festival as well as the Sundance film festival.
We’ll keep you all posted as to when it hit the stores!
