Every CertainBass is solid as a rock, sings like a bird and plays like butter. Because of my unique, proprietary build techniques and top-notch personal set-up, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better bass or better value anywhere. I make each bass as if it's going to be mine. I am of the few luthiers who is also an accomplished bassist. Therefore, I make basses that can rise to the demands and rigor of professional musicianship, a hallmark of quality all bassists appreciate. I don't part with a bass until I hate to part with it. You, too, can be yet another one to tell me, "You're right. This is my new favorite bass."
As Jaco said, "It ain't bragging if you can back it up."
"That's a really good sounding bass." Ben E. King to Mark Peterson, 11/9/11 after completing sessions for Mr. King's newest record.

"It's been about a year since I got my first Model One from you, and this bass is still turning heads, live and in studios. It became my primary bass from the get-go (and I have a '65 Jazz!). The neck is pretty ridiculous. It plays smoothly, very even and fast. I used to have "dead" notes on my other Jazz bass. But tonight, I'm pleasantly surprised when I reached for certain notes and I HEAR them!!! You really did a great job on this bass...The Barts are amazing, the setup is perfect, the neck is young but very sturdy and can handle weather changes (I have taken it on U.S. and European tours with the minimum of adjustments needed)...Your Varitone is just wonderful, all the sound techs love it, producers love it, and doing a session with Ben E. King, he even pointed out, "That's a really good sounding bass." Thanks so much...I'm already looking forward to the next one! GREAT JOB David!!! "

"I haven't been able to put it down since I got it - it's the only bass I've been playing. My request of putting a jazz pickup that close
to the neck gives the bass the fattest grindy tone. It's super punchy, growls like a mofo! Not to mention Mr. Certain sets up basses
to play like
butter - this thing screams!"
George Potsos, St. Louis, MO
Bassist for Devon Allman's (Duane's son) Honeytribe and recently on tour with Gregg Allman

"Anybody interested in bass guitars - check these suckers out!!
I've played a couple and they're the best thing next to a pre-CBS Fender
-- at a fraction of the price." Kevin Kelly, New York, NY
"The bass is great. I love the feel of the neck, it is an easy player.
The setup is right on.
It sounds like a Fender Jazz Bass; just what i wanted.
Some day I will have you build me a P Bass.
Thanks for the follow up."
Ted Quitasol, Riverside CA
My 5-string CertainBass is the best bass I have played EVER. And the sound is perfect,
I just recorded with it and it sounds "mixed" straight away,
just plugging it into a direct box.
I don't think I will ever buy a bass anywhere else -your basses are an unbeatable deal.
