Marcel and George Furlanetto – F Bass

F Bass has been handcrafting instruments out of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada since 1978. Even though we build for today’s player, we want our instruments to play and feel like great vintage basses. At F bass, quality and craftsmanship are the standards by which we live. I am extremely proud of our F basses, as are the musicians who play them.

“The Bergantino Forté has become one of our main reference amps at F Bass HQ. The clarity, transparency, and focused low end not only make it a fantastic showroom rig, but as an R&D rig as well—allowing us to hear even the smallest of design changes.”

Sheldon Dingwall – Dingwall Guitars

Dingwall Designer Guitars is a manufacturer of bass guitars and electric guitars based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It employs the fanned-fret system started by Novax Guitars for manufacturing basses, increasing the scale length of the strings on the bass side of the guitar compared to the treble side.

“The B|Amp has all the tone shaping you could possibly want but even set flat it sounds amazing! I’m a fan!”

With CP Thornton Guitars, I am fulfilling a lifetime dream… to create heirloom quality instruments for musicians who seek that rare balance between breathtaking beauty and engineering excellence, instruments that are at the same time a work of art, and the means to producing art.I have so many people to thank for helping me live my dream but none more than my loyal and enthusiastic clients, the players, the men and women who put their souls into their music using the instruments I’ve put my soul into. I’m not mentioning all of your names, but you know who you are, and I thank you for believing in me and supporting me.

“Whether I’m testing a new bass or playing one I use two Bergantino 210 cabs with ceramic magnets, they sound great.”
